How does a mouse trap function?

There are several types of traps for mice. There is a trap that kills the mouse and a trap that does not kill the mouse. As for the one that does kill the mouse, this is how it works. Once the mouse goes for the bait set on the trap, once the bait is touched, the spring snaps shut.

Is there anything else you can do to get rid of shrews other than by mouse traps?

You didn't say why the mouse traps weren't working for you. I once set a mouse trap, stepped back, and a shrew immediately came out from behind my hot water heater and approached the mouse trap. Once I saw how it behaved around the mouse trap, I changed my trapping technique, and I had much better success. The shrew approached the trap, and it quickly poked the trap several times with its snout in sort of a jabbing fashion as if the shrew was investigating the trap. When the trap was sitting by itself on a smooth linoleum floor, the trap tended to get pushed away, and the trap frequently tripped without catching the shrew. After that, I put something heavy behind the trap (a can of paint in my case), and my success rate was much much higher.

Well the object of the game is to trap the mouse so if the mouse keeps following where you are about to go, put the pillar in the middle of the trap. That way it distracts the mouse so he doesn't get in your way. Hope this helps. :)


How do you catch a mouse without killing the mouse?

You can usually find 'humane traps' for mice in a pet store. Just ask someone who works there. (Look on the box/bag on how to use them)And no these traps do not kill the mouse, they just trap them, you can re-open the door later and set it free if you would like.Release the mouse a long long way away or it will be back!
