I bought this small rodent trap a couple of years ago and have caught several mice and rats with it. It doesn't kill the animal, it just traps them in the cage when they touch the lever with the bait. (I use a bit of peanut butter for the bait, and put a little bowl of water in the cage so they don't get thirsty before I check the trap.) With these kind of traps you have to deal with the problem of what to do with a live rodent, of course. I usually drop them through the open window of a neighbor I don't like very much.
