What About Traps?
Traps can be useful when mice are already inside the home, but they shouldn’t be the only strategy.
If you simply catch a mouse without addressing the reason it entered, another one may eventually find the same food or entry point.
A better approach combines exclusion, sanitation, and appropriate pest control.
If you use traps, place them carefully and keep them away from children and pets. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for any pest-control product you use.
