Setting Traps and Baits

Traps are a powerful defence. This is applicable to mice which are abiding easily within the property. Obviously, we simply don’t set snares and baits like what we find in kid’s shows. Truth be told, there is a legitimate approach to do this.

For traps, there are actually two types: the sticky ones and the spring-loaded. Sticky traps can provide success by entrapping the mouse living though it also has its downside. CDC stated that live trapped mice can urinate out fear and mice urine can spread diseases.

For the spring-loaded trap, a bait is needed to entice rodents, a piece of cheese is an example. After setting the trap and bait, place the trap perpendicular to a wall (like a T). Put these traps where you believe you where the rodents are nestling.
