Choosing the Right Mouse or Rat Trap

The right trap depends on how you want to handle the catch, and where you're setting it. Here's how the main types compare.

Snap Traps

The classic choice for fast, visible results. Easy-set designs make baiting and disposal simple, and they're one of the most effective options for an active mouse or rat problem.

Live Traps

A humane, catch-and-release option. Good for anyone who'd rather relocate the animal than trap it permanently. Check live traps often, since a caught rodent still needs food, water, and warmth.

Glue Traps

A low-cost, no-mess option for tight spaces like along baseboards or behind appliances. Best used alongside other trap types rather than as your only line of defence.

Placing Traps for Best Results

Mice and rats travel close to walls and edges rather than out in the open, so that's where traps belong. Place them along baseboards, behind appliances, and near any suspected entry points.

Bait tip: Peanut butter is one of the most reliable baits. It's sticky, strong-smelling, and hard for mice to steal without triggering the trap.

For larger infestations or spaces you can't check daily, like a barn or grain room, pair traps with a bait station for longer-term control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Snap trap or live trap: which should I use?

Snap traps give you fast, permanent results and work well for an active problem. Live traps are the humane choice if you'd rather catch and release, but they need to be checked daily.

What's the best bait for mouse traps?

Peanut butter is one of the most reliable baits. It's sticky, strong-smelling, and hard for mice to steal without triggering the trap. Chocolate and dried fruit also work well.

Where should I place mouse traps?

Set traps along walls and in corners, since mice tend to travel close to edges rather than out in the open. Place them near suspected entry points, behind appliances, and in areas where you've seen droppings.

Can I reuse a snap trap?

Yes, snap traps can be reset and reused as long as the spring mechanism still works. Clean the trap between uses to remove scent that might make rodents wary.

How many traps do I need?

For an average home, 2 to 3 traps per suspected problem area is a good starting point. Barns and larger outbuildings usually need more, spaced along walls and near entry points.
