This is simply the best mousetrap design I've ever seen. It is simple, accessible and very effective in operation. With its help you can exterminate entire battalions of mice. In one night I managed to catch 11 pieces at once! It seems to me that this is a truly colossal result.
Making a sliding mousetrap
So, what will it take? Special shaft for catching mice. I bought it on AliExpress - .
But no one is stopping you from doing something similar yourself. Therefore, this is not an advertisement, but a very useful idea.
Next, take a ten liter bucket. We drill holes in it for the shaft in diameter. Then we insert the shaft and check that it should rotate freely.
Then we make such approaches for mice from planks and screw them to the bucket with self-tapping screws.
Pour half a bucket of water. Walnut paste is used as bait. We take a wooden sliver or spoon (you can’t smear it with your hands - this will scare away rodents) and smear a small piece in the very center of the shaft. And a couple of mini drops for the smell on the approaches and at the beginning of the shaft.
Leave it overnight.
Mousetrap at work
The shooting was carried out with a camera with infrared illumination.The mouse got to the pasta and started eating it.
And then it suddenly staggered, which was enough for the shaft to turn. As a result, the mouse fell into the water.
Of course, she can’t get out on her own. In the morning I found 11 dead mice in the bucket.
This is such a super efficient design.
To ensure that rodents cannot get out of the bucket, smear its walls with liquid soap. Then they definitely won't have any chance.
