Build A New Mouse Trap And The World Will Beat A Path To Your Door


Recommended Posts


It's good until you have a few mice in there and two or three of them stay at the back of the bottle allowing others to escape ......

Or start eating each other! Seen that in catch alive traps.

When we were kids we used to slope a milk bottle up onto a house brick. Spread butter or margerine around the inside of the neck of the bottle and drop a couple of pieces of bread down into the bottle. Used to catch loads like that. If you ever got two shrews in one though it was curtains for one of them. They would even eat each other.

Overnight I've had three mice in a catch alive trap, and when I went to check it in the morning there were two still alive and one dead and all chewed up. When you think how fast a mouse's metabolism works, and especially if you've baited with bits of dry dog food, for example, the survivors must be very dehydrated, and that is why I think that they attack the weakest, to get moisture. Just a personal theory, that's all.
