Home and Country USA Mouse Trap

The trap features a sensitive trigger plate inside. When a mouse enters to reach the bait, its weight shifts the plate, which automatically releases the spring-loaded door to secure the animal inside.

Yes. Because the trap is non-toxic and contains no snap mechanisms or sharp edges, it is safe to place in households with pets and children. However, we still recommend placing it in areas where they are less likely to disturb it, such as behind appliances or along baseboards.

This specific model is designed for indoor use only. Using it outdoors may expose the trap to weather conditions that could interfere with the mechanism or cause the plastic to degrade prematurely.

You should check the trap at least once every 24 hours. Since this is a live-catch device, it is important to release the mouse promptly to ensure the animal does not experience unnecessary stress or dehydration.

Mice are typically attracted to high-protein or high-fat foods. Peanut butter, chocolate, or a small piece of cheese work very well and are easy to secure on the trigger plate.

The durable ABS plastic is easy to clean. Simply rinse the trap with warm water and a mild, unscented soap to remove any scent markers, then dry it thoroughly before resetting it.
