Plastic Better Mouse Trap 48044: Humane Single-Catch Trap for Live Mouse Control

The Plastic Better Mouse Trap 48044 by Elite Pet Products is a humane, single-catch mouse trap that captures one mouse alive so you can release it away from your home. It is a simple, no-kill option for anyone who wants to deal with a mouse problem indoors without using poison, glue boards or snap traps.

Made from durable plastic with a hinged trapping mechanism, this trap is built to be reused again and again. Just bait it, set it, and place it where you have seen mouse activity. Once a mouse enters, the door closes and holds it securely until you are ready to let it go outside.

Because it is a live-catch design, it is a sensible choice for households with children and pets where you would rather keep messy or lethal traps out of the picture.

How to Use

Place a small amount of bait, such as peanut butter, chocolate or a piece of seed or grain, inside the trap toward the closed end. Set the trap and position it flat along a wall or skirting board, close to where you have seen droppings, gnaw marks or other signs of rodent activity, since mice tend to travel along edges rather than out in the open. Check the trap regularly. Once a mouse is caught, release it well away from the house so it does not simply return, then rinse the trap and reset it.

Getting the Best From It

Mice follow wall lines, so the trap works best pushed right up against a wall rather than in the middle of a room. Set it in the evening, as mice are most active at night, and check it in the morning. For an active problem, running two or three traps along the same wall improves your odds, since this is a single catcher. Handling the trap as little as possible also helps, because heavy human scent can make wary mice cautious.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Plastic Better Mouse Trap a humane trap?
Yes. It is a live-catch, single-catch trap designed to hold a mouse unharmed so you can release it outside, rather than killing it.

How many mice does it catch at once?
It is a single catcher, so it holds one mouse at a time. For a bigger problem you can set several traps along the same wall.

Is it reusable?
Yes. It is made from durable plastic and can be rinsed out and reset as many times as you need.

What bait works best?
Strong-smelling foods like peanut butter, chocolate or seed work well. Only a small amount is needed, placed toward the closed end of the trap.

Where should I place the trap?
Along a wall or skirting board near signs of rodent activity such as droppings or gnaw marks. Mice travel along edges, so wall placement catches far more than open floor.
