How to Use Live Capture Traps
There are two things that a person who uses live capture traps for pest control must remember.
The first is to check the trap every day so rodents trapped inside donít starve to death. Rodents are much smaller than people so they will starve much faster. This means you must check the trap everyday so you donít kill a rodent. It also means that you canít use the trap if you plan to go out of town for more than a day or so.
The second is to release the rodents a considerable distance from your home so they donít come back. Releasing rodents from a trap right across the street from your home or in your neighborhood will be a waste of time because they might come back to your home.
