Q. Can mouse detects glue traps?

Answer

Mice are able to detect odors very quickly. When animals start avoiding traps, it could be because they pick up on human scents near them. It's for this reason that it's recommended practice to always use gloves when handling mouse traps. The traps must also be meticulously cleaned. Studies in the wild show that many mice are initially repulsed by glue traps and surfaces, learning to avoid them or neutralizing them in some way. If someone is worried about getting the fingers caught in the trap, wearing thick gloves is another precaution a user may take. Among the best baits available, peanut butter is a sure bet.
