Just got a mouse problem in my house and I’m considering traps. Are traditional mouse traps safe around cats?
Be cautious with traditional snap traps—they can harm curious cats who might try to play with them!
I didn’t think about that. Any alternatives you’d suggest for homes with felines?
Have you considered humane traps that catch but don’t kill? Safer for all pets.
There are enclosed traps available that are difficult for cats to access. Might be worth looking into.
I can’t stand the thought of hurting my kitties. Please tell me there are other ways!
There are ultrasonic repellents that are inaudible to us but deter mice. Cats don’t seem to mind them.
Seconding ultrasonic repellents. They can be a good non-contact option that keeps everyone safe.
