Set Traps
One of the easiest ways to get mice out of your home is to set traps. This works well as long as your home is not infested with them. You can purchase traps at many stores, and there are many types to choose from. One common trap used is known as the snap trap. With this, you place bait on the trap, such as cheese or peanut butter, set the trap, and then when the mouse tries to get the bait it snaps and breaks the mouse's neck. This is a quick and humane way to dispose of mice as they die very quickly.
There are bait traps available if you do not want to kill the mice. This is a type of enclosure that you put bait in and then when the mice go after the bait a door will automatically close, trapping the mice. You then release the mice in an area away from homes, such as in the country in a field.
Contact Professionals
