Safe N Sure Mouse Trap

Absolutely love this product. Best trap out there, When they get caught though – I bought other traps, But these are honestly more easier to use, and to set, A Bit tricky sometimes, But when that happens, I pull the spring from the sides up to help set it, and it stops it from setting off instantaneously, But like with all plastic, They do eventually break, But i once caught in one night, Two in one trap, And the first day off… Read more

setting these traps, With just a dab off peanut butter, 16 mice in one night, If i can find somewhere that i can buy in bulk,I honestly would, Minus the plastic breaking, But that was after like catching 30 mice after 2 months or so.

A Tip for setting this trap – Despite the fact that this trap is tricky to set, it is in my opinion still the best trap around. If the spring is pulled tighter at the bottom of the trap, so that the spring is less tight on the top, it is better to set. Even so, place it down very gently. Show details

Impossible to set – I could not set either trap in packet. I followed the brief instructions provided on box closely but was unsuccessful. Snaps shut instantaneously despite repeated attempts I will not purchase this item again Show details

Cheap and effective – I'd have to agree with all the other five star reviewers. These are the best mouse traps that I have used. They are easy to bait with a dab of peanut butter and nine times out of ten they catch a mouse. Sure, they're not perfect, but I've found that the mouse will be back to unsuccessfully try his luck again the next night. Typically, if the trap… Read more

does not catch a mouse the cause is (1) the bait did not stick to the trigger plate and the mouse removed it too easily. I find peanut butter to be fairly sticky and its odour is a great enticement for mice. (2) dust and dirt got stuck in the hinge and reduced the sensitivity. If the trap is floor level or in the ceiling, there's going to be dust and dirt, but the problem is easily fixed with a wash under the tap. (3) the spring on the side needs to be riggled a millimeter or two so it sits lower in the rear base grooves. Probably the best thing about these traps is that if you snap them on your fingers it doesn't hurt a lot like some of the other models. Also, the trap is toothless, so there is rarely any mouse blood to clean up. Emptying them could not be simpler. Just squeeze the back lever of the trap and the mouse drops into the bin. One more thing to consider. Poison baits kill not only the mouse that eats the bait but also the bird, cat or dog that might stumble upon and catch and eat the dying mouse. Safe N Sure traps are the way to go. All we need now is for Safe N Sure Mousetraps to get back into the major supermarkets so we can end the current mouse plague.

Cheap and good if they work – I was hit with a Wimmera mouse pre plague. I had mice everywhere, found a couple of packets of the old style wooden traps and had them set everywhere and by the time I had baited them it was time to rebait them, not reset them. They were useless. I went shopping and bought 4 different types of trap (plus another 2 types later) which I will review… Read more

all here.

The Safe N Sure trap have been around a few years and the concept is great and they are a great little trap if you can find one that sets. They are easy to bait, especially solid bait such as cheese and easy no touch disposal of the victims. The down side is a proportion won’t set either from new or within a short period of time. I purchased 4 traps for the test, 1 sets perfectly 1st attempt every time the rest don’t. I have used them in the past and the only trap that I have left from then (that hasn’t fallen apart) won’t set at all. Once set they do catch mice. They are very light so they may finish up a distance from where they were set.

Price as tested $3.87 for 2 excl del.

At last a great trap – Beats me how this gets negative ratings as its the best I ever used. peanut butter works a treat. Will be getting a 100 of these beauties as on the farm mice and rats everywhere. Need bigger ones for rats though and never saw them in Woolworths. The best thing about these traps are "no mess" release and easy to clean, and really easy to set with… Read more

no accidents. I found though they do self-release if there is heavy vibration close by. Caught 20 mice and one missing trap (suspect a rat running around somewhere with a trap stuck on its head haha) so far in 2 days. Love these traps and don't listen to negative reviews from people who don't know how to use them properly. The bait area is not meant to have anything other than a solution, or what I use is Peanut butter... dont use cheese as they will pick that up easy and run off with it. Trust me... use peanut butter and your on a winner here.

Edit: since using this trap for a few months I can add one more tip... Peanut butter is definitely the best bait as my mice and rats love it and smell it from a mile away, but I found that I need to allow the peanut butter to age a bit and go hard, othertwise the critters can lick it off sometimes without getting caught.

Effective trap for mice – We live next to a large open paddock and regularly get mice in the house and shed. We bought a couple of these traps a while ago and they work really well, much better than some of the other traps we have, and can recommend them. Show details

Best trap for catching mice – The only traps that catch the light/quick mice - same as other reviewers I’ve had times where it didn’t set easily. Setting it in the air and carefully placing it down (rather than trying to set it on the floor) works well for me. Recommended. Show details

Woohoo a trap that traps – 100% effective can not complain - spring can dislodge but easily reposition. Have recommended & bought for neighbours no complaints all agree this is the trap that works. Safe n Sure #1 for sure. Show details

RATTRAP BAD DESIGN. B REAKS – My Round Point rat trap broke apart even though I have been very careful with it. Since it cost double or more than the old wooden Supreme trap, I consider this a serious design failure and so this apparatus is not fit for purpose. I am not a happy camper but will not go public about this yet because this trap may have been a one-off lemon. Regards John Palmer

Safe n Sure Mouse trap if you can get it to work – I have read all the reviews for the Safe N Sure mousetrap - cannot believe people got them to work satisfactorily - even though I have had this type (not the same brand) of mouse trap in the past and they worked very well - the Safe N Sure is not easy to set snapping off as soon as I put it on the ground. I have tried to call the company name on… Read more

the side of the packet but the telephone number is no longer connected. The email I sent to the "feedback" email address was returned to my mail box. Have Round Point Peg Co Pty Ltd left the country? I noted a review where it was recommended to put blue tack on the lid to keep it open so I will give it a try.

Virtually Always Defective – I have bought several packets of this product. Out of about 12 traps only one works. The rest snap shut instantaneously when I open them to add paste – even before I start to apply the paste. I have done everything I can to adjust them, but nothing works. A couple of years ago, having the same trouble, I rang the company to complain, but nothing has changed since. A waste of money, I will never buy any more. Show details

Better than all the other traps I've tried – I've tried a variety of traps including expensive types and this trap catches the mice while the other traps remain empty. Highyly recommend this trap if you can get it.

For My Dog Not Mice – I bought a half a dozen of the twin packs, not for mice, but for my puppy, who was making herself at home on my lounge suite, AND also destroying my made bed. Harmless to her but effective. Show details

I'm sick of the other brands which in my opinion are inferior. I'll stick with Safe N Sure, when you can get them – Have bought various brands and this is the only one that consistently works. Looking online they're sold out at Woolies, Bunnings, Coles. I'm sick of putting other traps out that are just feeding the mice. I just put a bit of peanut butter on it, make sure it's pushed down firmly. Show details

Best one on the market!!! – We have 3 brands of traps set up and this is the only one that has worked. The others go off but don’t catch the mice... this on has caught them every time. It has NEVER gone off without catching one. I am amazed at the negative reviews  Show details

The best spring operated mouse trap I have used – In over 60 years of catching mice the Safe N' Sure is the best spring operated trap I have used. Those negative comments simply say the person does not understand the trap and so how to use it. 1. Mice reflex too quick for trap. Fix - Put head of trap up to wall forcing mice to come in at the side. This ensures the mouse is nipped at a small part… Read more

of the mechanisms travel. 2. Trap will not set. Fix - It is a circular spring that operates on a slight over centre. Just pushing both sides of spring down a bit as set it always works for me. If that fails, just shave a small amount of plastic off the back where setting piece touches when fully back. Make sure to take off just enough for the trap to just over centre and so be very sensitive.

The one that worked – I am amazed at the complaints. We have been putting out traps for weeks this brand is the only one out of 4 different brands that successfully catches a mouse every night. The same bait in each. Others are cleaned off without being triggered or just completely ignored.  Show details

Poorly thought out – The mice have got this figured out. They set it off, but their reflexes are such that they beat it nine times out of ten. The designers ego is getting in the way of an effective result. Show details

Jack Russell says Rat Friendly – Instructions are illegible. Spring is over sensitive My Jack Russell says probably designed by a Rat. I assured him it was of human origin But it ‘s still useless and a waste of money Show details

useless – I bought pack of two June '20. One seems OK but the other one fell to pieces while I was trying to set it. Can't see anyway to put it together again. Like to buy Australian but very poor example Show details

Useless – There is very little to be said. The trap will not stay open, but just snaps shut whatever I do. The manufacturer/distributor did not bother to return telephone calls. This product and company is rubbish. It needs to be withdrawn from sale so as to not waste customers time. Show details

Don't waste your time or money – Does not stay set. Disappointing - As encouraged, purchased Australian designed product and this just makes me question doing so. Also annoying that Woolworths continues to sell an inadequate product. Do they not review their products? Matt Show details

Definitely not worth buying. Impossible to set just keeps on tripping as soon as let go – Spent hours trying to set it up, following instructions on the box to the letter. Just could not be set up to use the product, about to try for a refund. Show details

Not worth messing with – I have 3 or 4 of these... Impossible to set... Complete rubbish.. spend more money & buy something that actually works. ( If someone has come up with a working modification please post it somewhere.. maybe the manufacturer will learn something from it) .

Did not kill mouse, worked 2/3 times – Easy set up, but some are really sensitive that you have to adjust spring. One mouse that was caught did not die and the trap got just above the nose. Very bad, cheap product.

Best trap I ever used – Read a couple of negative reviews and I understand exactly what happened. Some of these traps are too sensitive, others not sensitive enough. The solution is quite simple. If it is too sensitive, use super glue to glue a small weight (test to see how heavy a weight is needed before glueing) on top of the rear flap. If not sensitive enough, cut… Read more

some short strips of cardboard (from breakfast cereal packet etc and again test how many needed) to glue underneath the rear flap to hold it a little higher which increases the sensitivity. So easy to set - my wife or grandchildren can set them without fear of getting a finger caught. We catch at present up to 13 mice per night - 90% in these traps, 10% in the old wooden ones which I also use. They are just super. Hope my comments help you.

Absolutely Useless – When put down and set at the position needed the trap just goes off, can't stay set. Releases immediately. Even when as gentle as possible. There may be a special way to set.

Not worth the money – My sister who lives nearby in a bush area has had some mice problems recently and got a couple of these. Like others here these traps have been nothing more than a mouse feeding device. Bait gone, trap mechanism not tripped. Cant beat the good old wood ones i reckon, set them on the very edge of going off and work every time. Guess people want… Read more

something easy and less hands on in setting them up like these things. Whats a minute or two of your time in the big scheme of things doing it right. Sometimes the old is still the best. These things are toys.

Would be good if it actually killed the mouse – Have caught 2 mice with trap and both were caught by the leg and the trap has insufficient force to kill them. Nothing like getting up in the morning and having to take the trap outside and finish the mouse off. Junk

Total Crap – Great way to feed mice. All plastic construction allows mice to escape EVERY TIME. Don't waster your money. We have used these traps for week and every time the Mice Escape.

Brilliant – Love this product. Has worked perfectly for me. Will definitely be buying a couple of extra ones. Peanut butter and wet dog food both caught mice. Highly recommend this mouse trap as it's so easy to use.

Excellent mouse trap – This is the best mouse trap after having used several other similar ones over several nights. On the first night I used this mouse trap I was finally able to catch the mouse. This is a very sensitive mouse trap so the mouse could not lick the bait clean without being snapped up by the trap.

Great! Now why can't I buy them? – The SafeSecure concealed Mouse Trap is Very handy . Cheap and they are humane and WORK. Can't get them at Coles anymore why? Please, Please bring them back. Nothing else on the market like this.

They work – As with many others writing reviews, I too laid out a range of traps from different brands. I found the snap-E traps too stiff with mice just eating the bait and walking away. This included licking all the peanut butter which is the bait I use and it still did not set them off. The Safe N Sure is the only one of all that I used that has caught… Read more

mice repeatedly and regularly as opposed to what seems to be one off flukes with the rest of them. I will use them only from now on as they definitely go off in less time than it takes a mouse to lick the peanut butter. Oh and they sell them in stock at Woolworths for the person who could not find them at Coles.
