4 minutes of MICE avoiding Traps (mice are smart)

In this video I show how mice can be smart and learn to avoid traps.

This is why we use different traps and trapping methods to catch mice.

for pest control in Massachusetts

I have caught over 20 mice easily in my attic over the last year. There is one left, and he has avoided 35 traps of various kinds. I sealed the hole to the outside so I don’t know how he gets food and water. I have 3 cameras set up and the mouse avoids all traps… this is not an embellishment… how do I defeat the boss !?

Bro, I put peanut butter on the traps the mouses actually managed to eat everything without activate the traps I don't even know how it's possible because the traps are really sensitive, I mean sometimes just slightly moving them activate them but somehow they successfully ate the peanut butter without activating the traps, they're f ing smart.

Yeah Mike, I have found that once you catch one mouse with a certain type of trap, the other mice see their buddy dead or dying and learn not to go near the type of trap you used. It is wise to remove the kills promptly so the other mice may not encounter it.
Generally once you get one, you won't get another.
They leave the glue traps alone after catching one also.
For some reason they never seem interested in poison bait either.
Seems some of them mice are smarter than some humans I know.
Great video, keep them coming.

They come and have party in my sink cabinet from the holes for the dishwasher hose. So i set the traps like one showed in this video, and caught one the very first night, i put another trap the next day and caught the second in two days. After that i set two traps but no luck since for past 2-3 weeks even though they are still coming. Its a very tight space the traps are right in their path and the snap traps a so sensitive that sometimes it is quite difficult to set them and then place them at the location. I smudged the cheese in the little holes of the plastic trap still i see remnants of cheese pieces around the trap!! Must be very expert 'covert'!! operation.!!

from my personal experience, the plastic snap traps work best. i've tried the wooden ones, the mice seem to be able to take the bait from them occasionally without setting it off. those circular kill & conceal things have never worked once for me. glue traps work but are cruel.

ultimately those plastic snap traps seem to be the most effective. i've never had the bait stolen from one, there is a kill every single time... once again, this is all anecdotal

I’m losing my mind here, I got put into a house infested. I caught soooo many babies but it’s just the big one left, I’ve tried multiple traps, sticky traps, homemade bucket trap it dodges it all! Such a smart mouse I’m dealing with it’s a joke.. it literally eats the bait right off it, I stuck raisins all over each trap, it managed to take off every raisin? I just don’t get it 😅 any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for making a video I thought I was doing it wrong

Did you wear gloves when you set this?

[deshideshibasara]

I have set up a good amount of glue traps and I’m now certain the mice are avoiding them I even change the boards out often to keep them fresh. My first go around I didn’t use gloves so i thought that was the problem. Once I found out I’m supposed to use gloves I set out more traps with gloves on and still no success, any ideas ?

I used some Victor quick kill mouse traps they out smart them by only licking the peanut butter around but never sticking their heads in to.set the trap
So I had to go electric ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Is peanut butter the best thing to use? I had some of these bastards in my kitchen. They would come out after I cooked dinner. I had peanut butter in the trap, but they wouldn't budge. I decided to put a sample of what I made for dinner in the trap. I've had much better luck that way.

How did you get it. Mine still avoiding traps.

[mauryholmes]

i have these in my kitchen at night, i friggin hate these things now

[janeroth]

I have 3 kind of traps. Guess I have a smart mouse.

If you reuse a trap that has killed a mouse they can smell the dead mouse and will avoid it. If you handled the trap without gloves the mouse can smell you and will avoid the trap. If you place the trap poorly the mouse may avoid it because they feel the lovation you have placed the trap is too exposed. Try cleaning the traps after each use or replace them, always use gloves, place the traps along mouse runs where they are less exposed and check them daily, mix up the bait you use not all mice like the same thing (peanut butter, chololate, cheese spread) are all good options but dont be afraid to try different things.

I've found that mixing rat poison in peanut works every time
