Humane mouse traps are designed to capture mice without harming them or causing them undue distress and allow you to catch a mouse in order to release it far away from home - hopefully so far that it does not return. Because they do not kill the mouse, humane traps are also safer around babies, young children and pets.
For more information, visit the 'How Humane Traps Work' page to see a diagram and description on how humane traps work. Alternatively, if you already have a trap, or are about to buy one, be sure to read the 'Capture and Release' page so that you know how best to release your captured mouse back into the wild.
