In Nixa, both snap traps and live traps are effective for controlling mice. Snap traps provide a quick solution by killing the mouse instantly, while live traps capture the mouse alive so it can be released away from your home. For best results, use traps with a bait that is attractive to mice, such as peanut butter or sunflower seeds. Position traps along walls and in areas where mice are likely to travel. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for placement and use.
