Tomcat Mouse Snap Traps are the pesticide-free, non-toxic way to control mice. Easy to use and easy to set, this trap is safer around kids and pets versus conventional wooden traps. To set the trap use one hand to open the trap by pinching it (like opening a clothespin). Hold the trap open and apply a small amount of Tomcat Mouse Attractant Gel (not included) or other food (such as peanut butter or cheese) to the small cup on the tongue of the trap. Place each trap where rodents frequently travel, usually between 10 and 30 feet from the nest to their food source. The teeth of the trap should be facing the wall. If a mouse is not caught in 2-3 days, place the trap in an alternate location where mouse activity is suspected. You can rely on this reusable trap to effectively kill mice for clean and no-touch disposal. Each pack contains 2 traps.
