    The Best Mouse Trap, Period - GF Video

    by Eric · This post may contain affiliate links, its one way we pay the bills. · 3 Comments

    Here is what I think is the best mouse trap. I use these because they kill the mice instantly and are a pet safe mouse trap. Watch this video to see how it works:

    Why is this best mouse trap?

    1. It works every time.
    2. Its real easy to set, just add peanut butter and turn it on.
    3. Its easy to remove the dead mouse, just empty into the trash.
    4. Its a pet safe mouse trap, your dog or cat can't be injured by it.

    Buy the Victor Electronic Mouse Trap here.

    Best Mouse Trap

    A pet safe mouse trap is important to me, as we have two Labradors. They leave this trap alone. I put these along the baseboards and kick panels of the kitchen cabinets and the dogs leave them alone. If you have a very curious pet, or one who loves peanut butter, this might be an issue, but its easy enough to put the trap in an out of the way place then.

    Once you turn on the trap, it will stay on for usually a week. It holds a static charge to zap the mouse, and you need to reset the trap every 5-7 days by turning it off then on again. Easy enough.

    If the trap has a dead mouse in it, the trap light will blink green. Simply open the trap cover over the trash can, turn it over and the mouse drops into the trash. You don't have to touch the mouse.

    Best Mouse Trap

    The peanut butter bait will last for a long time, as the mouse doesn't really get to eat much of it before its life is over. Peanut butter mouse bait will dry out after a while, so you can clean it out and add a new dab. I suggest creamy peanut butter. The brand doesn't seem to matter, but the natural peanut butters usually have too much oil and the oil can get onto the metal plates of the trap. Something to avoid.

    If you have a rat infestation, use the Victor Electronic Rat Trap here. The operating premise is the same, just a larger version for getting rid of rats. I have a friend who is a building superintendent, and he swears by these rat traps.

      @Sue yes! I have found the same. The natural peanut butters are not great in the mouse trap, Jif or Skippy work well. thx!

      Hi There,
      Totally enjoying your videos. Very informative, able to apply to our lives and enjoying the humor along the way. So glad we stumbled upon you site. Initially we chose the squash vine borer video, and then watched swarming of bees, planting garlic (with your dogs) and will continue to view more. Don't know your name, but thank you for the info and thanks to the videographer as well. Love the interaction/friendship between you two. Stay well, keep info coming. Deedee & Glenn
