Simple mouse trap that resets itself

[Clair_Schwan]

Howdy from Cheyenne,

I just updated my website today with instructions for building a cheap and effective mouse trap. In three days, it has caught 20 mice, 15 in one night alone.

It requires no resetting, so you can leave it to catch mice for days at a time. I am building more since they work so well.

You might be interested in making something like this yourself. It takes about 20 minutes and requires the following items:

5 gallon bucket
round metal rod
tin can
wood lath

Basic hand tools are all that is required. If you are interested, please take a look at my website. The following will take you right to the page for mouse traps:

If you have questions or suggestions, please let me know. Happy mouse catching.

My great uncle taught me a simplified method.

He took a garbage can, filled it with 75% water, put it near a ledge that mice used that they could easily access it. Then he put oats on top of the water, they float and look like the can is full of grain, mice jump in, sink, die.

He put new oats on each so many days after skimming those that floated and put them in a bucket. He let those ferment to use for catfish chum. Simple, easy and killed the hell out of mickey and his brothers and sisters, ;D
