Mouse Traps
Mouse traps are a vital way of controlling rodent infestation in your home. "Mouse traps" has become a colloquial phrase that is used to refer to any kind of trapping device for rodents, and there are currently a wide variety of types of mouse traps to choose from depending on what you wish to use it for. The most basic design is a spring-bar type of trap that is usually baited and features a spring-loaded bar and a trip attached to the bait. These mouse traps are designed to break the neck of the rodent that triggers the trap, if you are purchasing these mouse traps then you should always be wary of the type of animal you are planning to use them for, rats can easily escape a trap designed for mice so a different size should be used. These spring-loaded mouse traps have fallen out of favour with many as they are seen as inhumane or inefficient and more modern alternatives are available such as electric mouse traps, glue mouse traps or live catch models.
The most humane mouse traps are the live catch type that allow the rodent to be released into the wild after it has been captured. It is vital that the rodent is released quickly as the animal can quickly die from stress or dehydration if the trap is left unattended for long periods of time.
