Monitoring Traps Regularly for Effective Use

Want to protect your home like a pro? The secret is in the routine. True Catchmasters know that checking traps daily isn’t just about catching mice—it’s about protecting your family while giving you peace of mind.

Here’s why regular monitoring is so important:

  • Sleep better knowing you’ll find and handle any caught mice promptly.
  • Protect your family and pets by preventing access to active traps.
  • Maintain your traps’ pest-stopping power at peak effectiveness.
  • Take quick action when needed, just like the pros do.

A properly placed mouse glue trap can catch rodents within hours of setup. For best results, we recommend checking your traps each morning, since mice are most active overnight.

This simple daily routine transforms you from a worried homeowner into a confident protector of your space—it’s what being a Catchmaster is all about.

How long does it take for a mouse to die on a glue trap? A trapped mouse can survive for 3-24 hours without food and water. That’s why we recommend checking your traps at least once every 24 hours.

How to Handle a Mouse on a Glue Trap Safely

When you discover a captured mouse, stay confident—we’ll guide you through proper handling. Follow these expert-recommended steps to protect yourself and handle the situation effectively:

  • Protect Yourself:  Always wear gloves to prevent any health risks and avoid potential bites.
  • Choose Your Next Step: If you choose to release the mouse from the trap, apply a small amount of vegetable oil to safely free the mouse. Get more information on this process in our guide to Removing a Mouse from a Glue Trap.
