Recommendations

Prevent intrusion of mice

Try to avoid mice-infestation in buildings. In order to

prevent the intrusion of mice, entry sites like holes,

cracks and openings should be sealed wherever

possible. Mice can squeeze through even the smallest

openings of 6 mm. Therefore basement windows

should be latticed with a mesh size of not more than

5 mm, holes and cracks should also be sealed. Door

and windows should close tightly.

Withdraw food sources

To prevent mice-infestation, store food in closed

containers out of reach, always lock waste bins, do not

dispose of food waste in open compost and remove

uneaten food of pets. Rethink your handling of food,

supplies and waste to reduce potential food sources

for mice.

Signs of mouse infestation

Look out for signs of mouse infestation. Place traps

should one or more of the following symptoms appear:

Clear signs of feeding damage on supplies, wood,

■

plastics, textiles, furniture, electric cables, etc.

Unpleasant smell of urine, which is perceived

■

especially in case of heavy infestations

Mouse droppings: mice leave behind small, dark,

■

elongated faecal pellets (approx. 3 – 8 mm long)

Scraping or scratching noise from mice in (hollow)

■

walls and ceilings

Visible wear marks along running paths

■

Good to know

Mice are very curious by nature and thus enter the

topsnap-trap following their instincts. If the trap is

placed in the same location for too long, mice loose

interest in the trap. If there are signs of infestation

present, but no catches have been made over a longer

period, it is worthwhile relocating the trap.
