How To Kill Mice Too Light To Trigger A Mousetrap

If you have a mouse problem then the solution seems easy enough, go out and buy some traps, set them and sit back to wait for the snap. It is not always that easy though, unfortunately. Often you will come back to the trap to find it has been sprung and the bait is gone, but so has the mouse. All you seem to be doing is providing them with food and a challenge.

If you are having this problem, then there are a few things you can do. First, if you still want to use the mouse trap then you need to get smarter about how you set it and what you use as bait. For starters, the bait should be as far from the spring as possible, as it will require less force to set it off. Also, you should use sticky or tacky bait, as they will have to work harder to get it off, thus increasing the chances of it springing.

If you have featherweight mice, and need a new method of extermination, then poison is probably the best way to go. You do need to be careful if you have young children or pets though. The major disadvantage with poison is that the mouse may die somewhere inconvenient, leaving you with a considerable stench for some time.
