Do-it-yourself mouse traps may not be the perfect long term solution, but for the occasional rodent invader, they are an effective element of pest control. Knowing how to properly set and maintain traps is a vital component to any pest control system.
- Get a decent trap. There are a few options to choose from so check out this link to pick the right one for your family’s needs.

- Check traps daily! If you have a mouse invader, you’ll likely be hoping for a catch every day anyway.

Things to Remember
- Keep traps out of reach of children and pets.
- You aren’t a professional, be patient and very careful.
