Wanted: humane mouse traps

Recommended Posts

I've caught a few mice before, but never in any trap or cage I've bought, the mice never looked at them.


I caught them using handmade traps. They love tunnels and food.


One trap was just a kitchen roll inner tube and a tall bin, balancing half on and half off the countertop. I put a bit of bread and jam on the end that was hanging off the countertop to entice the mouse to go into it. Then when he reaches the food, the tube unbalances and they fall down, into the tall bin directly under it. Then lid on the bin, pick it up and bring to the park!

Ha, thanks Ted! Most people look at me like I'm mad when I tell them.


I'd also just say try not to leave the traps out all night. If they get caught in the middle of the night they'll spend the rest of the night hurting themselves trying to escape
