Home and Country USA Mouse Trap

The trap uses a sensitive, spring-loaded door. When a mouse enters the unit to reach the bait, its weight triggers the door to close securely behind it, keeping the rodent contained until you are ready to release it.

Yes, this trap is designed with safety in mind. Because it uses a mechanical door rather than snap bars or toxic chemicals, there is no risk of injury to fingers or paws, making it a secure choice for households with children and pets.

This specific model is designed for indoor use only. While it is durable, it is not weather-resistant and should be placed in dry, indoor areas where you have noticed rodent activity.

The trap is constructed from durable ABS plastic, which is easy to wipe down. You can rinse it with warm water and mild soap to sanitize it, ensuring it is clean and scent-free before you reset it for future use.

Mice are typically attracted to high-protein or high-scent foods. Peanut butter, chocolate, or small pieces of nuts work best because they are sticky and difficult for the mouse to remove without triggering the mechanism.

To prevent the mouse from finding its way back into your home, it is recommended to release it at least one mile away from your property in a wooded or field area.
