Why Our Mouse Traps Are Ideal for Kitchens

With 32 years of combined rodent-control experience, we've found that mice frequently enter kitchens through openings around plumbing pipes, behind cabinets, and near appliances. Our Ultimate Catch Traps provide reliable trapping without using poison around your food.

  • No poison needed: Keep toxic rodent bait away from your kitchen.
  • Hooded design: Helps guide mice directly into the trap's kill zone for more effective trapping.
  • Stable platform: Prevents tipping and keeps the trap securely positioned behind appliances and inside cabinets.
  • Reusable design: Easy to clean, rebait, and reset.

Twin Tip: Remove competing food sources, including pet food and fruit left out overnight. Most importantly, locate and seal entry points to prevent new mice from entering.

Where to set a kitchen mouse trap

Where to set a kitchen mouse trap: beside the fridge, beside the stove, inside the sink cabinet and on the pantry floor 1234
  1. Behind the fridge, against the wall.
  2. Beside the stove.
  3. Inside the sink cabinet, by the pipes.
  4. On the pantry floor.

Close any holes around the sink pipes with mesh first. Then set each trap with the bait end touching the wall, and check it every morning.

Have a cat or dog? Keep snap traps inside cabinets or behind appliances, where pets can't reach them.

"Tried a few different traps. Very low success rate. Seen the Twins on YouTube using these. They actually work well, easy to set up. Game changer."

"Never did I think I’d have to deal with mice! So when my home had become their feasting grounds I was distraught. I got the holes patched up but the SMELL of them and their droppings lingered. I tried bleach, I tried antibacterial spray, comet etc. I’d walk into the kitchen and immediately smell the scent of their visit. I searched online for a proper treatment and came across the YouTube page of the Twins channel. I watched in amazement as the team cleaned this home that was littered with droppings and urine stains etc. the video itself and the personalities were entertaining enough, so naturally I read some reviews of the TwinZyme spray and decided I would try it. I patiently awaited my package and when I got it, I sprayed the entirety of underneath my sink behind my dishwasher and within 8 to 12 hours the smell was gone and right before I wrote this review I went under my sink to smell again and again not one trace of those sneaky mice or their scent! If you have dealt with them you know the smell is like no other! Do yourself a favor and purchase the Twinzyme spray and you’ll have peace of mind and nose."

Frequently Asked Questions

A snap trap with a hood on a stable platform, like the Ultimate Catch Trap, set behind the appliances and inside the sink cabinet. Skip poison near food. For a lot of mice, a multi-catch trap like the Rat Vac next to the pantry saves resetting.

Put every bit of food away first, then set traps along the walls where mice travel: behind the fridge and stove, inside the sink cabinet and on the pantry floor. Check them every morning.

Mice climb. Most come up from behind the stove or fridge, or from the cabinet under the sink, where pipes come through the wall. Check those spots for gaps and droppings.

Not always, but food left out drags trapping out. Store dry food in glass or metal containers with lids, so the bait in the trap is the only meal in the kitchen.

Find and seal the entry points first: the holes where pipes come through the cabinet under the sink and dishwasher, and the gaps outside that let mice into the house. Then trap the mice already inside.

Rats can fit through holes less than 1 inch

Stop rodents at the source. Keep rodents out. Prevent rats and mice from entering your house.
