  • Now is the time to bait the mice. Put things like peanut butter, oats or chocolate, inside the traps.
  • Check the traps on a daily basis, to see whether or not you have caught a mouse. You can also reposition them.
  • If within two days you do not catch even a single mouse, it is the time to change the location of your traps.

Tips for Killing Mice

The best way to kill mice is to feed them with food that has been infested with rat poison. It will kill them in no time at all. However, it is not advisable to use the poison in traps laid inside the house. This is because, if a mouse eats it and dies inside the house, you will have to waste a lot of time in looking for it. By the time you find it, the carcass would have attracted lots of flies and other insects and its smell would have spread throughout the house.
