What is the biggest mistake made in mouse trapping?

The biggest mistake made in mouse trapping is not using enough traps. When dealing with mice, their population can quickly grow, and a single trap may not be sufficient to address the problem effectively. Mice are typically social creatures and tend to travel in groups, so using an inadequate number of traps can result in missed opportunities to capture multiple mice, prolonging the infestation.

By strategically placing an ample number of traps throughout the affected area, it increases the chances of capturing more mice as they encounter these traps while moving about. This approach is particularly important in areas where mice are highly active, such as near nesting sites or common travel paths. Employing a sufficient number of traps not only enhances effectiveness but also contributes to a quicker resolution of the issue, preventing further property damage and potential health risks associated with mouse infestations.
