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

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.
