Rodents prefer to run next to walls or other objects for safety and do not like being out in the open. In attics, basements, and crawlspaces and other areas that do not have regular human traffic, set traps in any area where there is evidence of frequent rodent activity.

Some rodents, particularly rats, are very cautious and several days may pass before they approach the traps. Other rodents, such as house mice and deer mice, are less cautious and may be trapped more quickly.

Finish the job: Continue to monitor the areas for mice activity and continue to place traps out until the activity has ceased. The mouse snap trap is one of the oldest types of traps for mouse control. The Mini Rex Mouse trap has a removable bait cup to place the lure in a well like area, forcing the mouse to commit to the trap.

If used without glue boards, and you want them to function as a humane trap, inspect the traps frequently to let out the mice. These traps rely upon the mouse's curiosity. They like to investigate new holes and harborages they encounter in their travels.

As one enters the hole one the trap, other mice like to follow. Captured mice attract other mice. Once the mice are trapped inside, they die due to loss of body heat or food deprivation. The amount of time it takes for a mice to die, depends on surrounding temperatures or if other mice are also captured that they may use for food.

The multiple mouse traps are used widely in the warehouses, commercial buildings, and the food industry. Large numbers of multiple mouse traps are used in commercial establishments. In commercial settings, they should be placed in areas of high or continual mouse activity, as well as locations that have a potential for mice entry, such as nearby exterior doors.

These exterior placed traps should be kept form dust, dirt, and elements. The clear top Tin Cat would not be a good choice outside, because sunlight will damage the clear lid.
