Where to Place Mouse Traps: Placement Matters More Than Bait

A well-baited mouse trap can sit untouched for days when it is placed in the wrong spot. The problem is often not the trap or the bait. It is the route. Knowing where to place mouse traps helps you intercept mice where they already travel instead of expecting them to cross an open room. House…
