Best Humane Mouse Traps

Eek! Mice! Before you find higher ground, grab a baseball bat, or set a toxic mouse trap, take a look at these humane mice trap ideas. Mice might be a bit scary, but they can easily be trapped, captured, and set free by using the following clever devices.

PETA Humane “Smart” Mousetrap

The PETA mousetrap is small, plastic, and entirely easy to use. Simply place the Smart Mousetrap inside of your home, await furry friends, and release them (no touching required!) once they have been caught. Reusable, reliable, and ready to catch any mouse that enters your home, this trap is a cinch. PETA will also include a Humane Control of Mice and Rats guide sheet when you purchase this trap.

Victor Tin Cat Mouse Trap

What better way to catch a mouse than with a cat? Well, a Tin Cat Mouse Trap, that is. Up to 30 mice can enter this trap at one time, and the best part is that an enclosed top means that you never have to see (or touch) any of them. As soon as a few mice scurry into this trap (you’ll hear them), all you have to do is bring the trap outside and release them. Reuse or throw-away this trap as you see fit. Victor also makes corner mice traps and multiple mice traps. What could be easier?

awesome ideas, we will likely look into these. Our indoor kitty helps a LOT, and our outdoor dog also eats mice (and opossums, squirrels, moles, shrews, snakes, lizards, grasshoppers, raccoon ect) In the winter we occasionally host a family of mice, and I do hate killing them.

Since i have several cats, rats rarely come for a visit. I hope everyone considers using some of these humane traps. They do work very well as my friend swears by them. Thanks very much for posting this article!!!
