Exterminating mice has been a problem for farmers since agriculture began. Mice can eat and contaminate food in addition to being unwelcome and discomforting houseguests. When natural mouse traps--cats--are not a viable economic solution to your rodent problem, turn to suppliers of mouse traps or a mouse exterminator to gain control of your territory.

The standard spring-loaded mouse trap is still the cheapest option around, but mouse-catching devices have evolved over the years, offering you more choices for dealing with your rodents. Depending on the extent of your problem, consider these options when searching for mouse traps:

1. Electronic mouse traps

2. Humane mouse traps

3. Professional mouse exterminators

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Save on wholesale mouse traps


If you've got a large rodent problem and want a number of standard mouse traps to help you solve it, buy mouse traps in bulk and save on large purchases. Have the option of setting traps in multiple locations to control your pest problem as thoroughly as possible.

I recommend: Get a deal on bulk wooden mouse traps from True Value, or buy boxes of traps from BottingsOnline.com or 1st Quality Pet Supplies.

Use live traps to avoid killing mice


If you don't like killing animals or just don't want to deal with dead mice lying around, buy a humane mouse trap that will capture live mice. Humane mouse traps use food items or odors to entice mice just like standard snap traps, but instead of killing mice, they hold mice in an enclosed trap and allow you to release them at a distance from your property. Use electronic mouse traps to create an electromagnetic pulse that will annoy and drive off mice and other pests.

I recommend: DoYourOwnPestControl.com sells humane and wind up traps to capture and store multiple mice until you can release them in a new habitat. Riddex sells a digital pest repeller, an electronic mouse trap that doesn't trap at all but is a device plugged into a standard electrical outlet that repels mice.

Get help exterminating mice from a professional service


Sometimes especially hardy nests of mice refuse to be eliminated by standard traps, or keep coming back if you've caught them with a humane trap and released them at a distant location. If your rodent problem looks too big to handle yourself, call a mouse exterminator for help in eradicating your rodents.

I recommend: Request a free estimate from Orkin for their pest control services. Call them or fill out an online form to schedule their services. For extermination as well as prevention rodent entry into your property, check out Myzzer's Rodent Infestation Prevention services. Make your property a fortress against rodent intrusion.
