Mouse trap
« on: April 02, 2009, 05:24:29 AM »
Here's a way to catch a mouse (rodent control).

I learned this from a friend and it works real well.

Take a bucket. Drill two small holes on opposite sides and put string between the two. While you're doing that, place a can (say a #10) with the labels off and both ends cut out on the string. Put about three to four inches of water in the bucket.

Put peanut butter on one end of the can and a board sloped up to the bucket to the other end of the string at the edge of the bucket.

The mice wlll go up the board, out on the string (make sure it's tight) and onto the can.

Whoops, it's slick..... They fall off and drown.

I've gotten four this way in the last month, and we don't really have a real problem with the mice but are near fields here, so....


So far off topic its not even funny.

Sounds like an useful idea. Around here those critters are also a real problem.. well at least the cat stays fat lol.


I use the normal metallic mouse traps, they seem to be very effective in cathing them. Only downside is, that it will only catch one rodent, and then it will need to be reset.

Nothing's as easy as drilling a hole in the wrong place
