Yeah, but I have no mesh wiring. Darn-it! Crazy wood rats in my house. Getting cooler here. And they are sooooo disrespectful! Pooping and making a mess. It's on now! Lol.😆
I used your basic model but used the original bucket lid and cut a hole into the lid. Then placed a PVC pipe into it. I also cut a slat out of both sides near the bottom and covered with a screen so that you can#1 allow the mice/rat to see and smell the bait and #2 so that you can see if you caught anything.
"two little mice fell into a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn't quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out." ...but not in this video.. Hahaha
At one time I had a similar problem. As I'm not as clever as you I resorted to explosives. It was pretty effective but I have to admit, it had a few... drawbacks.
as I read your comment I thought about the movie with Bill Murray battling the rodents. Explosives to defeat mice. Holes blown all in your walls and the smart mouse is sitting there looking at you. lmao
Mice are a lot craftier than just jumping out of buckets. They can catch and climb upside down on the wire you put on there, since it has large enough holes for them to stick their feet into. My mice climb upside down ontop of their cage all day.
One way to fix this trap would be to put sawdust or something soft or loose, like sand, so that the mice can't jump as high. If the ground beneath them isn't solid, they don't have a solid platform to jump high enough.
You know, I've been watching a bunch of these "better mousetrap" videos and I still haven't seen the easiest of them all, and what I used to use.... and I was shown how by.... a MOUSE! You just need one or how ever many you want to use; big trashcans, the 50 gallon I think they are, the kind used in factories, and as in my case; flower shops. I came to work one morning and found a live mouse in the bottom of an empty can and realized then and there that this was a perfect, most EASY way to catch mice! Just throw some crumbs or cheese or put some peanut butter on some crackers, anything like that, and the mice will smell it and go for it; either they jump on in, or if you tilt the can, they can slide on in, but cannot get out; too high up for them to jump out. No tools needed; nothing needed, except for some kind of food to attract them!!! Easy peasy and free!!
My brother in law was doing some remodeling and opened a wall. It was filled three feet deep in field mice in every stated of decomposition. Truly a Hotel California for mice....
The sound you were hearing was their tales rattling back and forth really fast against the wall. They do that rattle when they are scared and cornered. Good easy traps.
They also squirt urine during such times, loaded with the Hanta just in case you got that kine. Already endemic in every corner of the globe, it goes by different names everywhere with a dozen different varieties that kill you the same dead. Every couple of years or so some poor sap gets and dies of the Hanta heat taping up some water pipes under his trailer house here in Colorado.
Somebody in Long Island New York died from Hanta virus a few years ago after cleaning out his garage. The dust from dried up mouse pee gets inhaled and can kill within 2 or 3 days. The guy was losing his home to foreclosure, and also getting divorced, and then he gets sick and dies relatively young, in the prime of his life. I saw this in a documentary about the housing bubble and financial collapse.
Yes recently I had to be present overtime for electrical maintenance made by other guy on a room full of mice poop, he told me about the hanta virus, I would never imagine it is so dangerous. Filthy little animals could kill you in many ways.
WOW! I NEVER HEARD THIS SHIT BEFORE!! Sounds like if you clean/re-hab properties for sale/lease, you'd better be well-protected from the elements, both visible & invisible. Thanks for the info, good 'un.
Congratulations. The most simple and effective trap I've seen on UA-cam. I need one since I've been unable to find out how mice sneak into my home. Thanks so much for sharing.
best trap I've seen yet, I'm trying it. got an idea, pot penut butter around outside of pipe, and water in bucket, mice smell penut butter slide in, fall into water, wala! easy disposil.
Hello again, So I made the bucket trap lastnight, put it under the sink and this morning i have caught one!! this is the best trap ever. It cost me nothing and it's the best safe trap ever no poisons no danger to the other animals or children. all i used was peanut butter a dog cookie and hampster food. works great. Thank You😆😎🐀🐁🐀🐁🐀🐁
Put them in a barrel and force them to eat each other. When there are only two left, release them into your house because they will now hunt mice. Stole this from a James Bond movie
I had a bucket with some peat-soil mix that I mistakenly left out in the rain and the bucket filled halfway with water. Later I found a couple dead mice in it. I assume the mice thought they were jumping on to some solid soil but ended up in drowning.
nice! Have a problem here in vacation land with people feeding the squirrels and so everything else. Usually put 400-600 in the dumpster every year. love the low maintenance/check and empty once daily. I send the live ones to Mexico via the Rio Grande.
Great idea! I have very costly damage to my vintage airstream and my house from a rat infestation due to a large overgrown (blackberry brambles on 1/3 acre, solid front to back, side to side, above the roof line) lot, next door, being cleared (completely bare ). I knew it was going to happen. Tried to avoid it to no avail. For what it's worth, people, comparing mice to humans is, off the chart, ridiculous!
i used to be one of those people...after having mice in my house terrorizing me, i have seen the light (or should i say darkness?). they need to die, humanely though
Clever ideas! What helped me the most was spreading cayenne pepper all over my yard! The store bought poison didn't work. They didn't eat it. Then, I was told to move traps away from the kitchen! They were placed in the attic with a bit of candy wrapped poison, just enough to make them want to leave. I also decluttered and cleaned everything spotless. After that, I got help patching up holes in my walls and now they seem to be gone! Thank God! I still see holes in my yard, so I'm tempted to try your method!
Put the lil buggers to work . throw em in the toilet with some cleanser around the waterline .they will scrub that nasty water stain off the edge and work themselves to death doing it. Than just flush . make sure there dead though , don't want em sneaking a tickle when your sitting. It's also nice for practicing your aim and getting a little payback in at the same time. Capital punishment for house deficators.
Dev Stevensons I'm not sure. I'm really like 5.75 long by 5 girth erect, and then like 3.5-4 long soft. IDK, I've never measured it soft, kek. Only hard.
that's a good idea :) Mice are cute but if they get into your food they can make you go blind with their excrement, chew cables and even put a few good leaks into your hoses. If you aren't careful you'll have to pay over 9000 in repairs and medical bills.
Nice work. It seems like an excellent design to catch high volumes of mice. If you have to set snap traps one at a time you would never be able to keep on top of a the volume of mice you get on a typical farm. Great work!
Love your traps! Here in central Australia which is normally a dry old Desert we have recently had big rains which is bringing the place to life. We will most certainly be expecting hordes of 'Satans Soldiers' that will infest homes so your trap design will hopefully be able to deal with them.
It didn't explain why the mouse would get into the hole. That's why some comments here says they didn't get it. We have to assume that he placed bait inside. But we have to see that a mouse would actually plunge into the pail from the hole on top to believe it. A video camera showing it would have been nice.
You might want to hook it up so that the zip tie is on the outside of the trap so that the mice can't get at it to chew it loose and let the pipe drop inside letting them escape that way.
I used peanut butter and snap traps, but only caught a small one. I found the house mice are really smart, they know where the food store and are aware of new objects in the room. I put all the food away, but they are not touching the traps. Your bucket trap looks quite efficient, I just built one today, hopefully it's going to work better than snap traps.
I'm sure someone has mentioned this but mix the oats and peanut butter and spread it on the inside of the bucket then fill the bucket 1/4 way with water, they can only swim for so long.
So, obviously this guy has never caught a bucket full of live ones at once. They eat each other in a setup like this. The real trick is to keep catching them and letting them eat each other in the trap ti you have 2 or 3 alpha mice/rats that killed the most of their trap mates, then you release those supermice. They will continue to kill and eat the other mice as they find them. Cannibals, cant beat em. We do this at the feed store. Cannibal river rats are better ratters than any cat, dog, or poison.
common logic taken from a movie? I wouldnt know. I have seen it work at the feed store and on a couple farms. Those old farm hands that did it for years, they must have just been bullshittin with some movie quotes tho.. That darn internet...
That the best tom and jerry episode I've ever seen, glad to see tom got a little smarter. Thanks for the video seriously, now I can put a couple pails around my old vehicles in the garage
I actually know someone who now has a pet rat that was originally supposed to be their pet snake's dinner, the damn rat killed the snake. I think they call him Peaches, though I think they should have called him Master Splinter.
I will agree, it's about 2 feet that they can jump, the 5 gallon bucket is just short. The waste basket is too short. A tall kitchen waste basket is just right, clean straight sides and a little bait in the bottom sitting next to the counter.
I was thinking throughout, Is he gonna kill them and if yes how so. I thought drowning and then you said "theyre just gonna take a little swim" I laughed cause I was right
we use a similar trap at our cabin in the mountains. We put about 4" of RV antifreeze,(the pink stuff) in the bucket and leave it in the winter. They cant jump,they drown and if you put some liquid dish soap in the mix then the smell will stay below the surface.
A Motorcycle Nut Why don't you take a hypothermia nap? You ever observed a mouse up close? They are very human-like in their actions and emotions. They don't realize they are inconveniencing you. They see you as their friend.
I've used these type of traps, they're great. However, I caught 8 in my chicken pen, by accident. I had a handful of cracked corn left in a 6 gallon bucket. 6 gallon buckets are somewhat taller than a 5 gallon. I had accidentally left the lid off. the next morning I went out to care for my chickens, there was 8 mice alive I simply put the lid on. By that evening they were all dead. I use it all the time now. Just a bucket with no construction.
I've had them crawl into the open top of a one gallon plastic milk jug. Add a ramp and some peanut butter inside, and you've got a pretty good trap. I like your idea. Where can you get six gallon buckets?
+Anonymous he should take all the mice separately to a veterinarian and have them injected humanely with a phenobarbital drip until they enter dreamland? are you forgetting these are rodents?
I'm making a grilled cheese sandwich and got to watching your trap ....... and forgot to watch the sandwich. It got burned. Your trap is a work of art.
One day a red tail hawk was sitting on my porch looking at me like " Where's my lunch?". Check out the video of it. ua-cam.com/video/Hxuk1bGgFUE/v-deo.html
I did your "upgrade" trap, But I cut "stucco wire" just so it fits inside the pail about 2 inches, then drilled 2 holes just under the wire- about a 1/3 rd of the diameter used cloths hanger wire, run that through the holes so that the mesh won't fall down, then cut a old metal window screen to fit on top of the mesh, - cut the slot for your 2" pipe in the middle, of the mesh and screen, then put corn kernel's and sunflower on top ( the screen keeps the kernel's and sunflower seeds from falling in the pail ) -Then- cut another wire mesh with the slot for the 2" pipe again - on top of the seeds, ( I put 3 foam blocks - about a 1/2 " thick so the mice won't eat the seeds from the top, then put about 2" of anti-freeze inside the pail( do the anti-freeze before the seed bait) so when the mice fall in - in the winter - - - - - - - - -
I take them for a swim. Then I put them on top of a leaf pile I have in my yard, and with in a hour the birds of prey are having a feast. Owls, hawks, blue jays , crows and others. Then they hang around and also hunt in my area to reduce the mouse population. One day I didn't catch any and a red tail hawk was sitting on my porch looking at me like " Where's my lunch?". Check out the video of it. ua-cam.com/video/Hxuk1bGgFUE/v-deo.html
If you don't have liquid in the bottom of the bucket to drown them immediately, they will sometimes kill and eat their brethren. Suspend the bait off the bottom of the bucket, off center relative to the entrance, and put a couple inches of water (though it may freeze) antifreeze (toxic) or heavy salt brine (best) in the bottom of the bucket. The trap I made has a lightweight, freely moveable rolling cylinder on a stick suspended over the bucket, with peanut butter and a couple of pistachios (like crack for mice!) on the roller. For that type of trap, a screen is unnecessary.
Thank you! I don’t want to make them suffer and murder them. I just want them out of my house ( and dropped off several blocks away in the forest preserve)! Also, I’m scanning the perimeter for entryways.
Kill them! They are a pestilence. They spread disease, do incredible amounts of damage, and can cause house fires from chewing electric wires or gas lines. Don't set them free to be someone else's problem!
at my shop there's mice so I could easily set this up with the scrap I have lying around the shop and I won't kill them I'll just set them free in the neighbors yard the neighbor that's always calling the cops for anything
Maybe if you coat the inside of the trap & tube with cooking oil spray, or something else similar, the mice would have a tougher time climbing the walls. If they continue to chew on the screen they may create an escape hole. Otherwise, awesome idea. Thanks for sharing!🐭

you never know when you'll have a bumper crop of acorns. you wanna be ready, just in case. : 0
Have a log cabin deep in the Wood, and there is no keeping them out.
i have baby mice in my house its scaring me so bad
Precisely 98.643% did

This is the ONLY bucket type trap that worked for me in our tool shed !!!! Thanks.
Loved your statement at the end.. "population's going down" 😂😂
At first I was like, “yeah but what can I do with a bucket of mice?” Then I realized... “what CAN’T I do with a bucket of mice!?!?”
after you catch your mice and rats, put them on craigslist for sale for snake food.
Make soup out of them
Stab and burn them
Mice are a lot craftier than just jumping out of buckets. They can catch and climb upside down on the wire you put on there, since it has large enough holes for them to stick their feet into. My mice climb upside down ontop of their cage all day.

That's the only thing that works for mice, roaches and bedbugs... But even then...!
kingkongstrong XD
Lol
😂😂
kingkongstrong Now u live on the streets..Great job..lol
This is probably the best no-kill trap I've seen yet. I really need to give this a try.
Leave them in the bucket until there is only the strongest, super-cannibal mouse left and then turn him lose to prey on others.
Please read your comment and just think how bad thatll be
Lorenzo Garcia Dude, it's nature.
It would be kind of like prison.
That super cannibal mouse would reek havoc on everything lol
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
this is like a mouse concentration camp... I LOVE IT!
We made your “live catch” bucket trap and it worked!! Kudos and thanks!!
Good to hear!
Shawn Woods needs to make one of these and "set it up in his barn with motion cameras" and see what he can catch. Love me some mousetrap Mondays.
My brother in law was doing some remodeling and opened a wall. It was filled three feet deep in field mice in every stated of decomposition. Truly a Hotel California for mice....

I would suggest wearing a face mask and gloves when dealing with rodents!
Somebody in Long Island New York died from Hanta virus a few years ago after cleaning out his garage. The dust from dried up mouse pee gets inhaled and can kill within 2 or 3 days.

Use soap to keep them from climbing up. Bar soap works well "Ivory" does not scare them off either.

I came here for the "mice are people too" comments. I'm a little bummed, most here are actual adults.

+Beetbox birdy thank you. I needed that.
Nope, just killed 27 of em last week. They didn't matter at all.

Am I the only one that was thinking someone was going to throw a bucket of mice then he'll catch it?
Thank you. Best contraption so far!

When you're teaching them how to swim do you start with the dog paddle before the overhead stroke?
It's called the mouse paddle.
lol
The death butter fly back stroke is probably the best technique
Put the lil buggers to work . throw em in the toilet with some cleanser around the waterline .they will scrub that nasty water stain off the edge and work themselves to death doing it. Than just flush . make sure there dead though , don't want em sneaking a tickle when your sitting. It's also nice for practicing your aim and getting a little payback in at the same time.
Capital punishment for house deficators.
"About an inch and a half diameter, and six inches long."
Sounds familiar to me. Only mine has nothing to do with mice or mouse traps.
Sure it does, Its just a bald headed mouse. LOL
"...and I'll take that six-inch piece of pipe and stuff it through the hole..."
hahahhaha wow.😂
Hazardous-Nebula hahahaha it that a shower or a grower lol

When you go to buy that "screen", ask for "Hardware Cloth, !/4 inch".

Grease the walls of the bucket with peanut oil
Best way is putting a little peanut oil in a glass bowl.
It's the simplest and most effective trap ever.
I tried that. I did catch a few smaller ones, but some of the bigger ones jumped out. I'll try this one next.
Nice video. How much does it cost to subscribe?
It's Free!!!
Wyatt Apooch mice?

is this a troll or for real? I've seen animals do some crazy stuff so kinda sounds legit to me. we have a horrible field rat problem right now.
It works. If nothin else you get to see rats in a gladiator arena..
+Joe Blazer that sounds like a joke but how do you catch them all?
+David Ferguson Pretty much a troll comment as it was taken from a movie... Can't remember which one though ... Oh that wacky internet! :)
common logic taken from a movie? I wouldnt know. I have seen it work at the feed store and on a couple farms. Those old farm hands that did it for years, they must have just been bullshittin with some movie quotes tho.. That darn internet...
Wow cheap and very ingenious way to catch them!
That the best tom and jerry episode I've ever seen, glad to see tom got a little smarter.
Thanks for the video seriously, now I can put a couple pails around my old vehicles in the garage
Nothing is more simple than a glass bowl filled with peanut oil.
Why not just use the bucket lid and cut a hole in the middle
where did he put the peanut butter on the trap?
I bet it's just plopped on the bottom with the oats and seeds sprinkled on top. As long as it's in there, the rodents will want a nibble lol
At least they got a decent meal to get them thru winter b/f being caught.
drop a 100 pack of black cat firecrackers in that bucket with the mice in there💥💥💥
most easy way on UA-cam and sample I don't have mice but I just like watching this ideas to make my self more smarter loll.thank you
That's a good idea.
On a side note, I've never heard mice make a sound like that. You have some odd mice there.
Sounds like young rats to me. Tooth gnashing.
Personally I believe in catch and release. Catch them and release them in at someones yard who you dislike. >;D
Yeah me too catch release and then you got some good target practice
Too funny 😂😂
Idiot. Mice and rats “home”. Meaning they RETURN to the place they call home.
@@sandydevin8580 He was joking
I'd take them to a field. As long as it's over 3 miles from their "home" they won't return.
great way to catch food for a pet snake.
the snake will die
+World of Tanks blitz I wouldn't do that, they can carry diseases
True, that's why snakes are going extinct all over the world. ;)
+World of Tanks blitz the wild mice have diseases and worms that could make that snake sick, which could kill it.
I actually know someone who now has a pet rat that was originally supposed to be their pet snake's dinner, the damn rat killed the snake. I think they call him Peaches, though I think they should have called him Master Splinter.
instead of killing them just tie helium balloons to them and send them to a different county. lol
Hahaha great idea
Thank you smart nut. My yurt is a mouse palace! This is perfect..and no kill...yay! Peace from Canada.
I will agree, it's about 2 feet that they can jump, the 5 gallon bucket is just short. The waste basket is too short. A tall kitchen waste basket is just right, clean straight sides and a little bait in the bottom sitting next to the counter.
I was thinking throughout, Is he gonna kill them and if yes how so. I thought drowning and then you said "theyre just gonna take a little swim" I laughed cause I was right
The Soul of a True Slav lmao 😆😆
1. Catch bucket of live mice
2. ???
3. Profit
G+ is terrible 2.Sell them to Snake owners
GREAT TRAP IAM GONNA MAKE ONE.
Thank you, I'm trying this tonight!! They have been outwitting me. Now with this trap, ...I might just beat them!!!
sharon blubaugh did it work
I made one yesterday.. I caught 2 good size ones. I tried different traps. It works!
This is so cool I got like 15 rats in one night!!!!!
Jonathan Wakeley damn you have dirty house
haha it was in my garage.not my house
What I missed is - how/where do you place the bait?
Catch a bucket full of mice! How to bait the trap, ua-cam.com/video/w1_4jghtMrA/v-deo.html
he was nice enough to give them a swim before he released them.
we use a similar trap at our cabin in the mountains. We put about 4" of RV antifreeze,(the pink stuff) in the bucket and leave it in the winter.
They cant jump,they drown and if you put some liquid dish soap in the mix then the smell will stay below the surface.
Very nice editing. Not boring and not too fast. Just the right speed.
Where do you put the bait. I watched it 2 times. You never showed us where the bait goes

Neat trap! Do they take a fire nap, or a bubble bath?
hypothermia nap
A Motorcycle Nut Why don't you take a hypothermia nap? You ever observed a mouse up close? They are very human-like in their actions and emotions. They don't realize they are inconveniencing you. They see you as their friend.
Mark Greer get the hell out of here you stupid mouse lover. Yeah some people are mouse - like in their actions and emotions, their pest like you.
Can I come over and drop my cat in that bucket?
I'm sure that would make some real funny and loud noises.
Why would you want the mice alive?
😂😂😂😈😈😈💀💀💀💀🙀🙀🙀🙀
natural methods to get rid of mice
He should use antifreeze to give them a humane death;unless he is a sissy that can't harm a little mouse.He is probably a democrat.
I've used these type of traps, they're great. However, I caught 8 in my chicken pen, by accident. I had a handful of cracked corn left in a 6 gallon bucket. 6 gallon buckets are somewhat taller than a 5 gallon. I had accidentally left the lid off. the next morning I went out to care for my chickens, there was 8 mice alive I simply put the lid on. By that evening they were all dead. I use it all the time now. Just a bucket with no construction.
I've had them crawl into the open top of a one gallon plastic milk jug. Add a ramp and some peanut butter inside, and you've got a pretty good trap.
I like your idea. Where can you get six gallon buckets?
So far best bucket trap presented
Thanks
No kill trap, then you drown them....
that's so dumb huh, could have torchored them
Bwahahahahaha that's funny. Didn't even think of that.
Anonymous Hey if you are going to be a troll, at least learn to spell. Btw its "tortured"
no, you feed them to your chickens!
+Anonymous he should take all the mice separately to a veterinarian and have them injected humanely with a phenobarbital drip until they enter dreamland? are you forgetting these are rodents?
show vid on what you do with mice
Mice have emotionally dead stripper eyes. Creepy.
I'm making a grilled cheese sandwich and got to watching your trap ....... and forgot to watch the sandwich. It got burned. Your trap is a work of art.
Throw the burnt grilled cheese sandwich in the bucket and use it for bait!
That's impressively simple and effective.
I tried this and got 23 and had some cats and my 3 cats ate all of them
One day a red tail hawk was sitting on my porch looking at me like " Where's my lunch?". Check out the video of it. ua-cam.com/video/Hxuk1bGgFUE/v-deo.html
i would find out if it's safe to feed them to snakes, and if so, free food
freeze the drowned mice , that will kill the parasites. Bacteria, however? Anyway, Thaw and serve!
Jason Twist Well wild snakes don't eat mice in a urban habitat. That's what makes them wild their living in the wilderness.
The snap traps are not working 4 days and nothing In seen them run across the floor
why are you catching mice outside? that's like sweeping dirt.
king james488 look like he had a serious problem and decided to decrease the population as much as possible.
Wow! You actually built a better mousetrap. I like it!
I did your "upgrade" trap, But I cut "stucco wire" just so it fits inside the pail about 2 inches, then drilled 2 holes just under the wire- about a 1/3 rd of the diameter used cloths hanger wire, run that through the holes so that the mesh won't fall down, then cut a old metal window screen to fit on top of the mesh, - cut the slot for your 2" pipe in the middle, of the mesh and screen, then put corn kernel's and sunflower on top ( the screen keeps the kernel's and sunflower seeds from falling in the pail ) -Then- cut another wire mesh with the slot for the 2" pipe again - on top of the seeds, ( I put 3 foam blocks - about a 1/2 " thick so the mice won't eat the seeds from the top, then put about 2" of anti-freeze inside the pail( do the anti-freeze before the seed bait) so when the mice fall in - in the winter - - - - - - - - -
Hi there, do you have any update on your take at this trap?
will this work's on humans?
find a bigger bucket.
only if they're in the shed too
Come to my high school and it will lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
+MadeAUsername 😂😂😂😂
Americans yes
now what to do with all the mice...
I take them for a swim. Then I put them on top of a leaf pile I have in my yard, and with in a hour the birds of prey are having a feast. Owls, hawks, blue jays , crows and others. Then they hang around and also hunt in my area to reduce the mouse population. One day I didn't catch any and a red tail hawk was sitting on my porch looking at me like " Where's my lunch?". Check out the video of it. ua-cam.com/video/Hxuk1bGgFUE/v-deo.html
Awesome
put them in a bucket of water and let them suffer. :)
RedWhite&Blue 78 catfish bait of course
boiling water pour it over the little bastards
If you don't have liquid in the bottom of the bucket to drown them immediately, they will sometimes kill and eat their brethren. Suspend the bait off the bottom of the bucket, off center relative to the entrance, and put a couple inches of water (though it may freeze) antifreeze (toxic) or heavy salt brine (best) in the bottom of the bucket. The trap I made has a lightweight, freely moveable rolling cylinder on a stick suspended over the bucket, with peanut butter and a couple of pistachios (like crack for mice!) on the roller. For that type of trap, a screen is unnecessary.
Smart, simple and friendly. Perfect! Thank you ; )
going to try!!! I have field behind my house and the mice have poured in!!! wish me luck!! thanks for sharing
Thank you! I don’t want to make them suffer and murder them. I just want them out of my house ( and dropped off several blocks away in the forest preserve)! Also, I’m scanning the perimeter for entryways.
Kill them! They are a pestilence. They spread disease, do incredible amounts of damage, and can cause house fires from chewing electric wires or gas lines. Don't set them free to be someone else's problem!
@@ladysongster mice feed other animals they dont exist just to bother us ..
@@ladysongster You as a human spread disease, cause fires and gas leaks.
too. humm so that is your solution to living beings who cause you trouble?!
Several blocks away? They'll be back!
listen to 2:03 with your eyes closed
Games lmao
at my shop there's mice so I could easily set this up with the scrap I have lying around the shop and I won't kill them I'll just set them free in the neighbors yard the neighbor that's always calling the cops for anything
My neighbors are slobs and bring down the value of my place, I let them go over there!
Maybe if you coat the inside of the trap & tube with cooking oil spray, or something else similar, the mice would have a tougher time climbing the walls. If they continue to chew on the screen they may create an escape hole. Otherwise, awesome idea. Thanks for sharing!🐭
