The Problem With Regular Mouse Traps
It was late one night and I was sitting in the kitchen having a late night snack.
Then in the corner of my eye I saw something small and dark moving across the floor.
I looked over but didn't see anything.
I put it down to being tired and went to bed.
A few days later I was sitting in the kitchen around lunch time and again thought I saw something over by the cooker.
I continued to eat my lunch but didn't take my eyes off the spot where I thought I had seen something.
Then suddenly and without warning a mouse ran out from underneath the cooker and ran along the kitchen floor only to disappear underneath the back door.
Having only ever seen mice on TV I was quite shocked to see one running across my kitchen floor! I felt very uncomfortable knowing there was at least one mouse running around my house.
I went to the store and headed for the pest control section of the store.
I bought a pack of 6 traditional mouse traps, some cheese and headed home.
Setting the first mouse trap was a lot more difficult that I imagined it would be.
For some reason I kept setting the thing off.
This was probably due to the fact I was nervous having never set a mouse trap before.
Eventually I got three traps set and in position and I went to bed.
The following morning I was disgusted with what I found.
One of the traps had caught a mouse in it by the leg but hadn't killed it.
Another trap had a mouse in it that was dead but the trap had made a mess of killing it.
I found all this quite worrying.
I certainly didn't want to come downstairs to dead or half dead mice every morning.
At the store I had also noticed sticky mouse traps but had been told by a friend that these were even more inhumane than the regular traps.
I had also been speaking to a family member who had put poison down only to have the mice crawl into the walls of the house and die.
I didn't think this was a viable solution either.
It wasn't until later in the week when a friend came around with an electric mouse zapper that I felt I had found a good solution to the problem.
The device essentially gave the mouse a huge electric shock and ensured a timely death for the mouse and also prevented any mess.
I placed bait in the mouse zapper and the next morning found a dead mouse inside.
I was able to easily dispose of the dead mouse by tipping it into a trash bag.
I felt completely comfortable with this method of pest control as the mouse was killed quickly and it seemed a lot more humane than the other methods available.
Over the coming weeks the device caught less and less mice and I no longer have a mouse problem.
I now use the mouse zapper along with an ultrasonic device to keep my house a mouse free zone! If you are looking for a simple, effective solution to mice in your home I would highly recommend using an electric mouse trap together with an ultrasonic mouse deterrent.
