Mouse Bait Stations

Mouse snap traps are mechanical devices designed to catch and kill mice quickly and humanely. When a mouse triggers the trap by touching the bait or pressure plate, a spring-loaded bar snaps down, capturing the mouse instantly.

For the best results, we recommend using the PestBuddy Non-Toxic Rodent Attractant. It’s specially formulated to lure mice quickly and effectively — without using any harmful chemicals. It’s highly aromatic and designed to stay in place inside traps.

Other effective bait options include peanut butter.

Place the traps in areas where mice are most active, such as along walls, near food sources, or in hidden corners. Position the traps perpendicular to the wall, with the bait end facing the wall to maximise effectiveness.

Yes, many mouse snap traps are designed to be reusable. Simply clean the trap thoroughly after each use to remove any odours and reset it with fresh bait.

Mouse snap traps can pose a risk to pets and children if not placed properly. Use traps in areas out of reach of pets and children, and house the trap in secured mouse bait stations.

Check your traps daily to see if they’ve caught a mouse. Regular checks help ensure the trap is working effectively and prevent any health risks associated with leaving a mouse in the trap for too long.

For effective control, use multiple traps placed in areas where you've noticed mouse activity. A good rule of thumb is 1 or 2 mouse traps per metre.
