Works every time, they come up from three sides (I put it where they pretty much have to come up to it from the front or sides) and they put their paw on the tray, and we remove the carcase and reset it. Haven't had one smarter than us yet.
I tried this set up for the traps, nothing for a week then two mice in two days, both mice were caught coming from the side.
They have a buffet type of set up, three traps in a row, side by side, with access from sides or the front only.
