Victor M150 metal-pedal mouse snap traps (12-pack)

Hardware

Door sweep / garage threshold seal

Headlamp or flashlight for inspections

Hardware

Headlamp or flashlight for inspections

German cockroaches, rodent runways, and bed-bug harborages are night-shift jobs. A light you can point into a hinge beats another can of spray.

Catchmaster mouse and insect glue traps

Hardware

Catchmaster mouse and insect glue traps

Glue boards catch pets, children, and non-targets as easily as mice. Prefer snap traps.

Ultrasonic pest repeller (plug-in)

Hardware · Not recommended as control

Ultrasonic pest repeller (plug-in)

Not recommended as pest control. Extension reviews and this site’s ultrasonic question page do not support stand-alone use.

Listed because people search for plug-in sounders. They do not close a mouse gap, remove food, or replace traps. Buy exclusion and traps instead.

Tamper-resistant rodent bait station
