could some one tell me how to make a mouse trap out of house hold stuff, thanks?

Question

a multi catch trap thanks

Answer 1

Get an empty plastic milk bottle. (4 pint is best, 2 pint will do) and a bucket.
Make a pile of books the same height as the bucket. Bait the milk bottle (muesli or chocolate works well - mice aren't so bothered about cheese). Balance it on its side between the books and the bucket, with the bottom of the bottle hanging over the bucket. Now arrange a tray, piece of wood or anything you have to hand to make a ramp up to the neck of the bottle.
The mouse will go into the bottle. It will tip over into the bucket. The bucket will stop the mouse from knocking the bottle over and escaping.
Put the lid on the bottle. You now have a bottled mouse with which to have a reign of terror. (Or you could take it over to the park and release it)

Answer 2

Simple. Get a piece of wood, like chopping board, and in the centre attache, on edge, a razor blade, on one side of the blade place a piece of cheese, place the board where the mice congregate, after a period of time you will find that the cheese will be eaten, don`t despair if you don`t find any dead mice, cos` what has hap pend is that the mouse has gently reached over the blade and nicked the cheese. Now, this is the clever bit, after a while put the board down without any cheese, along comes the mouse sticks his neck over the blade and while moving his head left and right asking "where`s the bloody cheese gone", cuts his throat.

Answer 3

OK...Try this..... get a house brick and place it in the middle of your floor. Then get some pepper and make a line of pepper close to the brick. Lie in wait for the mouse. It will come along and sniff the pepper. This makes it sneeze violently. When it does that it makes the mouse bang its head on the brick which knocks the mouse out. You can then humanely dispose of the mouse as you wish. It doesn't have a hope in hell of working but wasn't it a great idea?

Answer 4

You have way too much time on your hands !

I thought I was one for making stuff in the workshop but this would definately not be worth it.

They are about 25p each - try an old fashioned independent hardware shop.

Or you can get plastic multi-mouse unit ( that use poison ) for about a fiver

Answer 5

go to your hardware store and ask for rentokill humane mouse traps .it captures the little meeces without squishing them and then you pick up the trap....take it to the local woods or fields and release them..then all you have to do is take the trap home..wash it under cold running water rebait it(i find chocolate spread/peanut butter mix works well) and put it back..keep doing it until all your mice are gone..ps check traps every morning as mice are normally nocturnal..

Answer 6

You could make one with a few hours work out of common tool shop materials. Otherwise you could get them in Home Depot at two for a dollar. It's your choice what your effort is worth.

Answer 7

Why bother, a mousetrap is about 25p, or 50 cents if you are over the pond.

Answer 8

Get empty box, sit and wait for mouse, drop box on mouse. Ensure you drop box open side towards mouse.

Answer 9

get a Styrofoam cup and put lots of thumbtacks through it with the the point inside the cup and put some food and put it on the bottom of the cup the mouse will go to get the food and ......die. i never tryd it not sure if it works or if you want it.

Answer 10

A glass, narrow necked bottle on it's side with bait in and a ramp up to the neck. They get in, but can't get out. Their little legs can't get a grip on the glass and they can't jump out either.
