Cages and traps

Cages and traps

The classic or old-fashioned rat and mouse trap remains an effective way to catch the rats or mice that plague you! 

Tip from Marcel: mice and rats have a very sharp sense of smell. Put on gloves when setting the traps so they cannot detect your scent.

Want to catch the pests but prefer not to kill them? Then you can use a trap cage. 
Tip from Marcel: always make sure you release the mice and rats far enough after catching them (e.g. in the woods). Otherwise they will quickly find their way back to your house.
