Trapping Tips for Mouse Traps and Rat Traps

Rodents enter a home through holes the size of a dime and run along walls, not over open spaces.

1. Place mouse traps perpendicular to the wall.

2. Place mouse traps out unset for a few days so rodents can become familiar with it.

3. Place mouse traps where rodent activity is seen (sign of chewing, droppings, runway, burrow).

4. Leave mouse traps undisturbed for at least two days before moving to a new location.

5. Check mouse traps daily and replace as needed.

6. Wear gloves when disposing of rodent.
