Safety Information
Please read and understand all safety precautions before using the SWISSINNO SuperCat Mousetrap. This product is designed for pest control and should be handled with care.
- Use the trap carefully to prevent protected species (such as hedgehogs, dormice, and birds) from being lured to the bait and potentially endangered.
- Dispose of the trap and any bait residues with household waste in accordance with local regulations.
- The trap contains a pre-baited peanut butter attractant. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

- Position the Trap: Place the trap where mice are likely to appear. Since mice tend to avoid open areas, always position the open side of the trap facing a wall or in a corner. Secure the trap if necessary to prevent movement.
