Pest-Stop Trip-Trap Mouse Trap - Clear Plastic

Yes, it is specifically designed to capture mice without causing them harm. It holds them securely with ventilation until they can be released.

Mice are often attracted to high-protein or high-fat foods. Peanut butter, chocolate spread, seeds, and oats are highly effective choices. Use a small, pea-sized amount.

For the welfare of the mouse, it's recommended to check the trap frequently, ideally every few hours, but at least once daily.

Release the mouse at least one mile away from your home in a suitable natural environment, such as a wooded area or field, to prevent it from finding its way back.

No, this trap is specifically sized and designed for mice only. It is not suitable for rats or other larger rodents.

After releasing a mouse, clean the trap with warm, soapy water to remove any scent trails or residue. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before reusing or storing.

The trap measures 50mm (H) x 180mm (W) x 55mm (D), making it compact and suitable for various small spaces.

Check if the bait is fresh and appealing. Ensure the trap is placed in an active mouse path, typically along walls or in dark corners. Consider changing bait type. Mice can be cautious; allow time for them to investigate.

This often means the mouse was able to retrieve the bait without triggering the mechanism. Try a stickier bait (e.g., peanut butter) or place the bait further into the trigger area, ensuring it's harder to get without activating the trap. Ensure the trap mechanism is sensitive and not obstructed.

While designed to be humane, prolonged captivity can cause stress. Check traps frequently (hourly if possible) and release the mouse as soon as it's caught. Ensure ventilation holes are clear.

Inspect the trap for any debris or obstructions preventing the door from closing. Ensure the bait is not blocking the trigger plate. Clean the trap thoroughly if sticky residue is present. If damaged, consider replacement.

Mice have a strong homing instinct. Ensure you are releasing them at least one mile away from your property in an appropriate natural habitat to significantly reduce the chance of return.
