FAQs
Is this trap safe for use around children and pets?
Yes, this trap is designed to be poison-free and catches mice live, making it a safer alternative for households with children and pets compared to snap traps or poison baits.
How many mice can this trap catch at once?
The Big Cheese MultiCatch trap is designed to capture up to 10 live mice at a time.
What is the best bait to use?
Effective baits include peanut butter, seeds, nuts, or small pieces of biscuit or cheese. The bait should be placed towards the back of the trap.
Where is the best place to set the trap?
Place the trap along walls where mice are likely to travel, in quiet, discreet locations such as under furniture, cabinets, or in low-traffic areas. Its low profile allows placement in tight spots.
How often should I check the trap?
It is recommended to check the trap at least once every 24 hours to ensure the humane treatment of captured mice and to promptly remove them.
How do I release the captured mice?
Open the hinged lid and allow the mice to exit. It's best to release them in a suitable habitat at least two miles away from your home to prevent them from returning.
What is the trap made of and how long will it last?
The trap is made from industrial-strength galvanised steel, designed for years of reliable, reusable service. Proper care will extend its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Trap not catching mice
Ensure the bait is fresh and appealing. Check that the trap is placed along active mouse pathways. Verify the self-setting mechanism is functioning correctly and the lid is securely closed.
Mice escaping the trap
Confirm the lid is properly closed and latched after baiting. Ensure there are no gaps or openings that mice could exploit. Check for damage to the trap's structure.
Trap appears damaged
Inspect for bent edges, loose hinges, or other structural issues. If damaged, consider replacing the trap to ensure effectiveness and prevent injury to animals.
Difficulty opening or closing the lid
Check for obstructions or debris caught in the hinge. Clean the hinge mechanism. If the metal is bent, gentle adjustment may be necessary, but avoid forcing it.
