About This Product

The Snap-e Mouse Trap represents a significant improvement over traditional wooden snap traps. Made from durable ABS plastic and steel by Kness Manufacturing, it's designed to provide years of reliable service.

How It Works

The trap features a pressure-sensitive plate with a pre-formed bait cup at its centre. When a mouse steps on the plate to reach the bait, the strike bar releases. Because the bar travels only half the distance of conventional traps, it delivers a faster, more humane result.

Why Professionals Choose It

Pest control professionals across the UK favour the Snap-e for its reliability and ease of use. The extra-large trip paddle catches mice from the front, sides, and back, reducing the chance of missed catches. The design also keeps your fingers safely away from the mechanism during setup.

Easy to Maintain

Unlike wooden traps that absorb odours and stains, the plastic construction cleans easily between uses with soap and water. This hygiene advantage makes it particularly suitable for kitchens and food preparation areas.

Pro Tip

Place bait at the bottom of the cup, not on the rim. A small dab of peanut butter or Nutella pressed into the base of the cup forces mice to step fully onto the trigger plate, significantly improving catch rates.

Perfect for Manchester Homes

Why This Trap Works Well in Your Area

Manchester's housing stock presents unique challenges for mouse control. The city's Victorian terraces, which dominate areas across Greater Manchester, feature suspended timber floors and cellars that give mice easy access to properties. These older buildings often have small gaps in 9-inch brick walls that have developed over decades of settling.

Mice can squeeze through openings as small as 5mm — roughly the width of a pencil. In properties with original features, these entry points are common around pipework, skirting boards, and where floor joists meet walls.

The Snap-e's compact design makes it suitable for placement in the tight spaces typical of Manchester properties: behind kickboards in galley kitchens, inside cellar cupboards, and along skirting boards in rooms with limited floor space. Its reusable design is practical for ongoing monitoring, particularly useful given that mice problems in older Manchester properties often require sustained attention rather than one-off treatment.

North Manchester sees the highest rates of rodent issues in the city. If you're dealing with mice in areas like the Northern Quarter, Ancoats, or any of the terraced streets across the city, multiple traps placed along known mouse runs will give you the best results.
