The Mice Cube is a molded plastic mousetrap with a door that is free-swinging in an inward direction only. Small holes in the door allow the odor of the bait to escape to attract the mouse. The mouse enters by pushing the light-weight door inward, which then closes by gravity, preventing escape. IT WORKS !! You never have to touch the mouse !! Mice Cubes aren't literally cubes, but rather dark black but somewhat translucent rectangles the size of a butter dish (2"x2"x 5.75"). Directions For Use: 1. To bait trap, spread peanut butter on a cracker and place it at the far end of the trap opposite the door. HINT: To help attract mouse to trap, spread a very thin layer of peanut butter on the swinging door - wipe of any excess so peanut scent remains, and the door swings freely. 2. Place trap along wall or in area where mouse droppings are prevalent. Warning: Check trap once or twice a day, as mouse will expire if left in Mice Cube. 3. To release the mouse, take the Mice Cube outside and turn the trap upside down. The door will open and the mouse can exit. 4. If mouse has expired in trap, you may dispose of it in a refuse container without ever touching the mouse! | | | Features: | |

 Not perfect, but still gets 5 stars from me.Sep 11, 2010
By Anne
I live in a home surrounded by fields and woods; I am never going to eliminate the field mice in my home, all I can hope for is mouse-proofing as much as possible and working toward the goal of moving them out faster than they can get back in. Poison is not an option, don't want it in the food chain and don't want dead mice in my walls. Not going to kill them anyway, just want them to live outside.
For years I used the metal cage trap, it is effective, but the smaller mice can squeeze out. Also, they are big and bulky and relatively expensive, so one is my limit.
I also have a green plastic house-shaped one. It works well too, but costs 6 to 7 times as much as the little mice cubes. It also is spring loaded, so some of the smaller, lighter mice can sneak in, steal a peanut and leave without triggering the spring. It also requires setting the spring which can be temperamental and basically a pain. I still use it, but it is not my preferred trap.
I recently discovered the mice cube and bought 4. They aren't perfect, but they are my favorite.
First of all, I have to say, I modified mine before even trying them out. I wasn't satisfied with the air holes, so drilled 6 small holes on the top of the trap near the back end. This turned out to be a multi-functional modification. I just bought 12 more and am about to modify them as well.
Turns out that these holes not only give the mouse some air, but also allow me to wash the traps out by setting them upright on the patio and squirting them with a jet stream. The mouse poo floats out of the holes then I set them in the sun for the day to disinfect.
I have a one-hand-in-the-glove system for handling the traps safely, while leaving the other hand free to touch door knobs and light switches. I smear a very, very, very thin coat of peanut butter inside the trap then bait it with one peanut, split in half, no muss, no fuss.
When the mice come out at night, they start filling the traps. I hear the trap rattle, dump it and replace, often with the same bait. In the morning, I make the rounds, release and clean. Easy peasy.
Pros: no springs to set, one-hand operation, cheap, easy to use, effective at containing mouse, small- so they fit into the tight little places the mice go.
Cons: they don't come with those magic holes pre-drilled, the plastic is very light-weight and brittle - (I had one crack by the hinge which allowed the mouse to knock the door out and escape, but fixed it with some packing tape)
One aside; I was finding that on occasion I would find an empty trap with the bait gone. I could not figure this one out as it seemed impossible for a mouse to get in and out without breaking the trap. I finally saw my answer when I witnessed, not one, but two mice frolicking around a trap last night. The were dancing all over, sniffing at the peanut. Finally, one went into the trap, then the other one pushed his little nose in and let the first one out. I kid you not! I don't know whether they are smart or lucky, but either way,this has not become a common activity. So, at least until they all learn this little trick, I'm sold on these traps. And if they do all learn the trick, I will record and post it on you tube and have my viral moment of fame.

Five Stars 'cause it works but ...Jun 11, 2011
By R. Parker
I have one of these and it catches at least 2 mice a day - every day - day in and day out. I take them outside, say "Be free, little one!" and off they go - - only to sneak back in to be caught the next day, and the day after that, and the day after that.
I'm beginning to feel like I'm running a fast-food joint for mice and the word has gotten out that I serve the best cheese in town. I guess it's a compliment but mice are lousy tippers and what they do leave behind are not tiny quarters, if you know what I mean.
Sooo ..... I'm going to start a bus service for the little critters - release them into a cardboard box during the day, then drive them down the road about a mile so they can visit the neighbors. Just kidding. I wouldn't do that to my neighbors - I live in the woods and a mile away is pond. They can live there. It's nice. There's a little mouse beach; tiny paddle boats; a little hot dog stand. They'll be happy.

Very effective, but you must check often or they will eat their way out.Dec 18, 2010
By Jim Anderberg
I've trapped literally hundreds of mice over the past three years with this (I mark my score on the calendar!). The only shortcoming of these traps is that mice will chew on the door and can eventually get themselves out. So, you have to check often to avoid your trap being ruined. I'd like to see the company offer spare plastic doors as I have 20 traps over the years which could still be used if I had a replacement door.

I love Mice CubesDec 07, 2010
By Kevin
"Full_House_in_NH"
Mice Cubes work very well for me. I use peanut butter on a cracker or mixed with some oats for bait. I've caught mice within an hour with these. The only thing I would like to see improved is the ventilation. You have to empty these cubes relatively soon, or they get condensation inside from the mouse. I try my best to check the cubes regularly (I can usually hear them scratching to get out)and to release the mouse within 24 hours. To release the mouse, I simply bring it to a field and turn the cube upside down and step away. The swinging door opens and, after figuring out that they are free to leave and there is no impending danger, the mouse usually scurries away to find another place to live. My children enjoy watching the mice as they leave, to see where they will go and what they will do. It's educational too!

Works like a charm (bonus points for the company calling themselves Pied Piper)May 21, 2011
By C. Justice
We had a mouse take up residence in our garage (though originally we thought there were more due to the volume of droppings we found). We chose these traps because we didn't want to deal with mouse carcasses. We followed the instructions EXACTLY, putting some peanut butter on Cheez-Its in the very back of the traps.
Within 24 hours, we got our mouse. Safely rereleased in the park down the street. No mouse problems since, though we keep the traps out and check them daily in case we get more visitors.
Love these things. Work as advertised. One confusing thing about the instructions (for us, anyway) was what they meant when it came to releasing the mouse from the trap. Basically you flip it over so the bottom is facing up and the plastic door falls open freely. This lets the mouse escape without having to touch it.
Excellent product. I can't think of a single thing wrong with it.
