What is the recommended distance to place traps apart for an infestation of house mice?

For an infestation of house mice, the recommended distance to place traps apart is 6-10 feet. This spacing is effective because house mice typically have a home range that includes areas they frequently travel. By placing traps within this range, you increase the likelihood of capturing the mice as they move about searching for food and shelter.

House mice are creatures of habit and prefer to stick close to walls or structures where they feel secure, so positioning traps within this distance ensures they are in accessible areas where mice are likely to scavenge. This strategic placement can help maximize trap effectiveness and improve overall control measures during the infestation management process.
