mouse traps
Baited pest devices
Mouse traps are devices designed to catch or kill mice.
The classic spring-loaded snap trap uses bait to lure a mouse onto a trigger that releases a metal bar.
Other types include glue traps, live-capture traps, and electronic traps.
Figuratively, a mousetrap is any scheme to ensnare the unwary: The detective set a mousetrap for the embezzler.
