I just found out that my neighbor that I share a wall with is moving out because of “the mouse issue.” This is the first I’ve heard about it. I’m pretty sure I don’t have mice. I haven’t found any chewed food packaging or what looks like mouse droppings. I do have a cat but I’m not confident he would know how to kill a mouse. I’ve never seen him chase anything on the floor but I know he will chase flying insects. I also haven’t been presented with any “presents.” Could he really be keeping the mice from my apartment by just his scent?

    That’s very weird, frankly. 75 reviews and every single one of them with 1 star says the same thing? And all of them within the period of Dec 2024-Feb 2025? Not to mention I’ve been using these for years myself and have never seen a mouse survive, the kill arm smashes hard and the trigger is very sensitive. I get the suspicion that one person had a bad experience and spent a few months review-bombing.

      Honestly, it sounds more like they don’t show older ones, but they are still calculated into the score. But like I said, I’m not informed and haven’t used a mouse trap in over a decade…
