Rentokil Live Capture Mouse Trap
by SusanLesley When we lived in our previous house we had a large garage which had been converted into a shed in which we stored all sorts of things such as garden tools, compost, planters, paints, sun loungers - all the usual stuff you find in a shed. We also started feeding the birds and we purchased two big sacks of food - one of seed and one of ... nuts which we left on the floor of the shed. Yes I know now!!!!! One day we went into the shed to find that the sacks had been munched through and something - presumably a mouse - was eating the food meant for the birds! We went to B & Q and got two things - the first was two large plastic boxes in which to keep the food and the other was a mouse trap. I am not frightened of mice and I work on a live and let live basis but we didn't want them taking up residence in the shed and then migrating into the house so they needed to be caught. I insisted on us finding a humane trap so that we could catch them and then go and release them somewhere safe for them to live out the rest of their days. The one that we bought was the Rentokil Live Capture Mouse Trap which cost about £5 and can be reused as many times as you like. The trap is made from heavy duty black plastic and comes attached to a piece of card which gives you the instructions for use. If you take a look at the picture at the top of this review it shows a trap primed for use. The oblong shaped device is open at one end and it rests on two supports to keep it that way until it has a visitor. The trap is bent in the middle, for want of a better way of describing it, so it will rock back and forth. The bait is put inside - something sweet or seeds or nuts will do - and when the mouse goes in his weight rocks the trap, the door closes and the mouse is caught but safe and unharmed. All you then need to do is take the whole trap somewhere safe, open the end and out runs a happy mouse. Since ours was in the shed we had to make sure that we checked it daily when it was primed so that we could remove any mice before they came to any harm trapped in there with no food or water. I would definitely recommend this mouse trap for use anywhere. It is easy to set up, it works brilliantly and nothing gets killed. After all mice are God's creatures too aren't they? This type of trap could even be used by someone who doesn't like or is scared of mice as you don't have to actually touch them at any time during the process. Mind you, having said that, we don't need a mouse trap where we live now as we have Mew who doesn't mind killing things at all! He catches mice and rabbits on an almost daily basis from the fields that surround our cottage! I will just say that he only catches things in order to eat them. I have told him that if he starts catching things just for fun I will put a bell round his neck to stop him! Read the complete review |

Rentokil Live Capture Mouse Trap
by stufflover I love animals, and at one point I had six mice, 3 hamsters and a rat, so you can imagine the hell if one of them escaped from a cage! One of the mice, who sadly is no longer with us, had an amazing habit of escaping all the time, and he seemed to get wise to all methods we would use to catch him again, but there was no way in ... hell I would use a normal mouse trap, those things are just pure evil and if I had my way in life they would be banned! I went to the local hardware store and asked if they had any human mousetraps, and this was what they recommended I should use. It basically works on a weight and leverage system, once the mouse climbs inside towards the other end, the trap tips and shuts so the mouse can not get back out. The door is easily opened again to release the mouse into his cage or back out into the wild. I found that the best food to use to lure the mouse into the trap was peanut butter, as this has a strong enough smell to attract their attention enough to not notice they are walking into a trap! Almost feel bad for them lol! The peanut butter trick worked quite well, and I easily had my mouse back in his cage, not that he stayed there too long mind! I think these traps are a great idea, as it saves any mice having to die, and is nicer than having to clean up a dead mouse from a trap. This also is a great idea if you have small children (or silly men!) in your house who could easily get themselve caught up in a traditional style mouse trap and lose a finger or something, plus we have all seen the leerdammer advert, mice are now more athletic lol! These traps can be bought in hardware stores, some large supermarkets, pet stores and even on Amazon. They are re usable, so if you ever need to use them again, no problems, just have to remember where you put it! Read the complete review |

Rentokil PSR97 Rodine Mouse & Rat Killer
by doncasteryb At the moment we are combating a little terror that has decided to make our home his/theirs (not sure how many). Not knowing how many there are, I have opted for poison and just hope they choose to die away from my territory! I visited my local Wilkinsons and found Rentokil Rodine Mouse & Rat Killer for £2.05 which seemed reasonable, ... if it does the trick. Just yesterday, I saw one of these vile rodents and it turns out to be a mouse - not that I want it as a pet, so death is the next logical option - for the mouse, not for me! Lol! Renotkil Initial is a long running British group of businesses which have their fingers in many pies. Obviously, there is the pest control section, they also have an indoor plants landscaping subdivision and washroom services, to name a few of the areas the company works in. They not only provide products for the likes of you and me, but also operate on a global level - giving an indication of the sheer size of the company. In terms of getting rid of rodents, it's worthwhile to go through the routine of removing its shelter (which in our case was the kitchen cupboards) and its access points, removing any food sources from the area. Cleaning the area thoroughly of any remaining food and the obnoxious mice droppings. Once the area is clean, you can get an idea if they return via any further droppings. The key, we have found, has been to remove their source of nutrition, which was crucial in their making my home theirs. Ensuring that any holes are blocked using a substance like iron wool or even cement - something they can't chew through. The box is spilling over with information and it is vital that you read it thoroughly prior to use. The box is mainly black in colour and has the image of a rodent, looking all sweet and innocent. On a red highlighted area on the front is some general information about the product. "Bitrex is added to help prevent swallowing by humans" - not that I thought this looked appetising in the slightest but just in case this does happen, this is a safety feature of the product. Bitrex is "the most bitter substance yet discovered" and is added to many household products to alleviate the problem of human consumption. If this should happen, there is a section of "advice to the Doctor" on the box. The statement that it contains natural whole wheat gave me the impression that it's the "kindest" way to get rid of these pesky rodents. I opened the box and was welcomed by 3 50g yellow packets and 3 white bait trays. There are different directions for use if you are using it to exterminate a rat or a mouse. For a mouse, you are advised to place up to 20g of the product in the bait trays. For rats, you need more than double the amount of Rentokil Rodine, at a minimum of 50g. The actual product is greenish blue in colour and is like small pellets. The 3 packets have proved to be more than enough so far. If placed outdoors, the bait has to be located in an area where is it protected from the unpredictable British weather, and away from harming other animals or where children may get access to it. I have mainly used it indoors, and found it to be very effective, as one of the trays has been licked clean - hope they enjoyed their final supper! I placed a tray in a couple of kitchen cupboards, as this was the area in which I located the vile rodent. After using the product it is advised that hands are washed thoroughly. A day later, and I was pleasantly surprised by the results - not that i've located the body.....yet - methinks it drew its last breath outside. There is advice on the box about how to dispose of the body(ies), by double bagging it with bin liners and contact the Local Authority to access a waste bin for this purpose. One very useful feature of this product is that it can be used indoors as well as out - which, for me, meant I could attack the rodent from all possible angles. Another useful service Rentokil also offer is a free expert advice phone line on the back of the packet - not that i've had to resort to this. We have been using the product for the past few days and, like I said, it appears to be working. I will update once I have accomplished the task in hand. 1st November 2009 After keeping the deadly posionous substance in place for the past couple of weeks, finally I think they have all expired!MWAHAHAHA (evil laugh). I just wanted to make sure, but it appears that the poison has not been touched within the last few days, i believe they drew their last breath outside, as I have not experienced any untoward smells indicating that i will locate their bodies in my home - thankfully! So, all in all, this product works and I hope never to have to use it again! Thankyou for reading! Read the complete review |
