Last month I made a mousetrap to catch mice alive. It’s a figure-4 trap using a wooden box with a lid with air holes. (I learned this type of trap on my first survival course in 2001).
And here’s a little video of me demonstrating the trap in my apartment.
The only problem is that I don’t have any mice at home so I haven’t been able to properly test the trap. If you live in the Amsterdam area and you have a mouse problem, please let me know so you can borrow my trap 🙂
Nice! You can come over any day to catch some mice! 😉
Thanks for the good laugh – Mr. or Mrs. Snibbles is indeed caught but no way am I picking him/her up with my fingers. Very thoughtful animal rights approach but I need to be able to dispose of the critters too. Back to the drawing board?
I guess you could slide a second lid under the box and move it that way with the mouse inside 🙂
