How to catch a mouse without a mousetrap.
Since starting a blog, I've found myself spending more and more time online, cruising through blogs, websites and wikis. Along the way I've run into dozens of odd little ideas, articles and artworks. Here's one of the more practical for anyone who's ever had problems with mice but could never bring themself to kill the little critters...
Here's a problem solver that's cheap and humane... and pretty damn clever too...
Here's how it works apparently.
1.- Get a toilet paper tube and crease two lines to form a flat sided tunnel.
2.- Put a treat on one end of the tube: A cracker and dab of peanut butter works pretty good.
3.- Get a tall bucket or trash can. Balance the tube precariously on the edge of a table or counter with the treat hanging directly over the bucket.
5.- The mouse will scurry to the treat (apparently they like tunnels) and fall into the trap.
6.- Set the fella loose at least a few k's from home and there you go.
What would we do without the net hey?
Kill more mice probably.
