Why DIY Mouse Traps Often Fail in North Georgia Homes (And What Works Better)

Why DIY Mouse Traps Often Fail in North Georgia Homes

You bought the traps. You baited them with peanut butter. You caught one mouse. But a week later, you’re still finding droppings in the pantry. What went wrong? For many homeowners in North Georgia, DIY rodent control becomes a frustrating cycle of temporary success and long-term failure.

Reason #1: You’re Treating the Symptom, Not the Disease Trapping catches the mouse inside the house. It does nothing to stop the mouse outside the house from coming in. If you have a gap around a pipe or a crack in the foundation, a new mouse will simply replace the one you caught.

Reason #2: Mice Are Smarter Than You Think Rodents are neophobic—they are afraid of new things. If you place a trap incorrectly or use the wrong bait, they will simply avoid it. They also reproduce incredibly fast; a single female can have up to 10 litters a year. You can’t trap your way out of a breeding population.
