If you need mouse removal, there are certain professionals you can contact who will come to your home and evaluate the problem, but most will suggest setting traps as the most viable solution. There is a wide variety of mouse removal traps that you could use, each with their own pros and cons. The type of trap you get depends mostly upon your personal views of humane versus effective methods. The cleanup requirement also may impact your decision of which types of traps to purchase for your home.
The most common types of mouse removal traps are the bait and snap traps that you see in a lot of cartoon shows. Some people consider these to be humane because they instantly kill the animal without prolonging its suffering. Many residents prefer this method of mouse removal because the traps are reusable, so there is no need to spend extra money on additional traps if the infestation persists. These traps are loaded with bait to attract rodents and when they are triggered, the mouse is instantly killed. A common bait to use for mouse removal is peanut butter because it cannot be dragged away by the mouse and it will not grow mold over time. Some experts recommend laying down ant traps next to your mouse traps because the bait can sometimes attract other pests that are unwanted. The biggest downside to this method is the cleanup afterwards and certain people with squeamish personalities do not like to see the dead rodent.
There are mouse removal methods that conceal the body of the animal after it is killed for easier cleanup. These traps are similar to the bait and snap method in that they attract the mouse and instantly kill it when triggered. The main difference is that these mouse removal traps have full coverings that conceal the rodent afterwards. These types are usually disposable, but you can find some that have the ability to be used over and over.
For people who do not like killing the mice, there are mouse removal methods that only trap the animal until you set it free in the wild. These are often small cages that use bait to attract mice and have triggers that conceal the entryway so the mouse cannot escape. It is important to check these traps regularly as the animal may die from shock or dehydration if not let out in a timely manner. It is also important to remember that if you do not free the animal far enough from your home, it may return to continue to problem you started with.
