Rats, this rodent is categorized as a neophobic animal which means that he is very careful when he finds something new and even tends to feel afraid. Therefore, rats always feel alert and always feel suspicious.

Naturally, mice are able to learn their environment quickly and are very suspicious of changes in their environment. One of them is their suspicion of the appearance of mousetraps placed in their usual environment.

Because rats have very poor eyesight, they have excellent hearing as well as a strong sense of smell and taste which makes them sensitive to small changes in their usual path including the type of trap or bait.

Therefore, it is not impossible that the traps set to catch mice at home will not produce instant results and take a long time to catch them.

Tired of trapping mice in your own home? Don't be disappointed yet! It's not easy to trap mice yourself at home without the help of a **mouse exterminator** , because they have a neophobic nature or are easily suspicious of something new.

It takes a while to get mice used to mouse traps set near their usual haunts. If you feel overwhelmed to control this pest, don't forget to use ETOS as the right solution to the rat problem in your home.
