It’s interesting how eco-friendly traps can make a difference; I’ve seen success with biodegradable options that bait effectively. Just make sure to regularly inspect them since they can get overlooked easily. Have you tried any specific brands?

I’ve found that baiting with peanut butter works wonders for indoor traps — just be sure to change it out regularly to avoid it drying up. Also, some brands don’t always deliver on their promises, so always check reviews before purchasing. @t_greenwood, have you experimented with any specific brands that stood out?

I’ve had a solid experience with using infrared detectors for rodent issues in commercial spaces — they’re like having a little pest detective on duty! Just a heads up, though: nothing’s foolproof, so combining traps with them can cover your bases. @amelia432, what do you think about using multiple methods?
