Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Q:How do I keep my pets away from the mouse/rat traps?

A: Place the trap inside a small cardboard box that has enough height to allow the trap to snap. Cut a 3" x 3 opening on two opposite sides of the box. Place the box with a baited trap in a known rodent path.

Q:How many of mice are born at once? How do I know that I've trapped them all?

A: It’s practically impossible to tell when you've trapped them all. You should continue to trap as long as you see mice or notice signs of activity.

The most apparent sign of an infestation is fresh droppings.

Q: What is the most common mistake in trapping?

A: The true number of rodents present is underestimated. As a result, not enough traps are used. Although you have killed a few rodents, the remainder of the population continues to multiply.

Q:Are expanded trigger snap traps superior to regular snap traps in controlling rodents?

A: Yes.

Q: Will your live catch mouse traps work for voles also?

A: Unfortunately, no. Typically voles will not enter this type of live catch trap. A better alternative is the Havahart® Cage Trap. It's a cage-type trap designed for small rodents.
