What is the maximum distance mouse traps should be spaced apart where signs of mice are observed?

The recommended spacing for mouse traps, when signs of mice are observed, is a maximum distance of 10 feet apart. This guideline is based on the behavior and movement patterns of mice, which tend to explore areas close to a food source or nesting site. Mice typically travel small distances, and by placing traps within a 10-foot range, you increase the likelihood of catching them as they move throughout their territory.

This approach also accounts for the fact that mice are often cautious and may avoid open areas. By ensuring the traps are strategically positioned and close enough together, you can maximize trapping effectiveness and promptly address a mouse infestation.
