The STV The Big Cheese Live Catch Mouse Trap Twin Pack is designed for homeowners seeking a humane, non-toxic method to manage mouse activity indoors or outdoors. Its primary benefit is the ability to capture mice alive for safe release, though users should be prepared to handle the transport and release process manually once a capture occurs.

Yes, because they are non-toxic and do not use snap mechanisms, they are safe to use in households with children and pets.
It is generally recommended to release the mouse at least 1-2 miles away from your home to prevent it from finding its way back.
Yes, they can be used in sheltered outdoor areas, but ensure they are protected from extreme weather to prevent the mechanism from freezing or becoming blocked.
Small amounts of peanut butter, hazelnut spread, or even bits of bacon work very well to attract mice.
Use warm water and mild dish soap to wash the trap, then allow it to air dry thoroughly before adding new bait.
Ensure the trap is placed flush against a wall or in a high-traffic runway and consider adding a small amount of extra food bait inside.
Check the hinge point of the locking bar for debris or sticky residue that might be obstructing its movement and clean as necessary.
Setting up the trap is straightforward: place the unit in a high-traffic area, ensuring the entrance is clear of obstructions. No complex assembly is required as they arrive pre-baited. To ensure longevity, perform regular inspections to check the locking bar mechanism. If the trap becomes soiled during use, it can be washed with mild soap and warm water; ensure the device is completely dry before re-baiting. For baiting, you can refresh the trap with small amounts of peanut butter or hazelnut spread if the initial factory bait loses its effectiveness over time.
