Setting Traps and Baits

Traps are a powerful defence. This is an effective method as well to capture live rodents that are pestering all over the area. In fact, we just don’t establish traps and baits like what we see in cartoons. There are right ways about how to do this.

For traps, there are actually two kinds: the tacky ones and the spring-loaded. Sticky traps can offer 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 lure rodents, a slice 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 think you where the rodents are nestling.
