Catchmaster Indoor/Outdoor Mouse Trap

We live in a high-altitude desert and have an elderly neighbor who loves feeding the world's birds. Pounds of bird seed = pounds of mice. Over the past 12 years, I've not had any failures with this type of trap (though my old ones are from a different maker). We use them outside around the perimeter of our house and in our garage. I put a dash of peanut butter in the center and either catch a mouse or the peanut butter remains. We never have issues with any other animal (ant, lizard, or other). Unfortunately, with the new traps (these CatchMaster traps purchased through Amazon), I put a dash of peanut butter inside and placed all three around the house. In all three cases, over the course of 2 nights, the peanut butter was gone from each trap but no mice were caught. So all three had a mouse get in, eat the peanut butter and be able to get out! Since we never had a single escape from our previous traps, zero for 3 is unimaginably bad odds. This product simply does not work. The concept does, as my old traps (again, from another maker) did work. But obviously, this company is all about using cheaper and less material to save cost. They reverse-engineered a good product into such a bad product, they now have to include glue traps! If we wanted to catch/kill mice on glue traps, we would have just purchased glue traps! Unbelievable. I wish I had read these reviews first. All 3 traps have been returned.
