While mouse infestations can be overwhelming conventional snap traps often prove equally overwhelming to use. This tip trap has an ingeniously simple design that provides a safe humane and effective way to rid your house of mice. Simply remove the end cap and place peanut butter in the bait cup. Place the trap in a problem area and wait. As the mouse moves inside the trap to fetch the bait the trap will tip up automatically closing the trap door. Then you can release the mouse a safe distance from your house allowing it to go on with its life and you to go on with yours.
