What Are The Different Types Of Mouse Traps?

There are 5 types of mouse traps in this collection.

  • Snap traps

    A spring bar snaps shut when a mouse steps on the pedal. Wood or plastic, reusable or thrown away with the mouse.

  • Electric traps

    Battery or USB traps that kill with a high-voltage shock, show a catch with a light and empty without touching the mouse.

  • Bucket traps

    A trap-door lid or a spinning roller on a 5-gallon bucket that keeps catching mouse after mouse.

  • Tunnel traps

    A snap trap inside a tunnel, so the catch stays out of sight.

What Should You Look For In A Mouse Trap?

  1. Ease of use

    Easy to bait, set and empty.

  2. Disposal

    Some traps let you empty them without touching or seeing the mouse.

  3. Catch and release

    Live catch and bucket traps can keep mice alive.

  4. How many mice

    Multi-catch traps hold several mice before you empty them.

Where Should You Put Mouse Traps?

Mice tend to run along walls. Put snap traps at a right angle to the wall, with the bait end closest to the wall.

  • Where you see mice or droppings.
  • Behind objects and in dark, secluded spots.
  • Near a suspected entry point.
  • Use several traps: Victor notes that most mice are caught the first night a trap is out.
