What kind of luck did you have ? Will more continue to go in ?
I have used the drop door and the heart shaped traps that keep catching but wondered if the root under type was any better.

I've caught as many as six in a 4x8 trap.

I prop the door open about 10-12 inches with a stick and string corn into the trap. When they push under the door, the stick falls and the door closes but others can still push in to get to the corn. I've tried several different methods and this is what works best for me because it doesn't spook them as bad as the door dropping on on of them.
