Fact #1. Mouse traps are about as old as mice. You could classify any tool used to aid a human in the capture of a mouse as one. The device reaches back to 1897. According to the patent, this trap snapped shut in the blink of an eye.
Fact #2. No matter what style of mouse trap you look at, the basics are all in place. Lure the mouse with the promise of food. Have it trip some kind of device, whether latched, spring-loaded, sticky, electrifying, or explosive in nature. After that, your mouse problem will be solved.
Fact #3. A common option is a glue trap. These give off pheromones or certain food scents. Many mice will run across them without thinking twice about it. The glue ensnares their weak little legs and sticks them there to starve. Another available model is the snap trap. This category includes the classic, spring-loaded wood and metal traps, as well as the modern plastic type.
Fact #4. The most humane mouse trap is the non-kill version. A piece of food lures your mouse into a small enclosure. The door closes automatically behind him by the same mechanism that would cause a snap trap to crush him. Then, you're free to set him loose into his original habitat.
Fact #5. Catch-and-release traps are fine if you're willing to drive a few miles away to release the mice into a new habitat. Otherwise, they might just find their way back into your house. Remember that these animals are particularly adept at mazes. It's important to know that if you release a mouse into a foreign habitat, the chances of it succumbing to predators or lack of water and food are quite high. You're giving them a better chance than they'd have being crushed by a trap, but not by much.
