Humane and efficient mousetrap

    The blogger Chris "MacGyver" Glass, in his blog posted a very simple and effective way to catch mice, below is a free translation, although the pictures show how it works:

    • We take a tube (base) from toilet paper, or we make any other to your taste, from not too light and not too heavy cardboard.
    • In the case of a toilet paper tube, we cut on one side of the circle and glue two halves in such a way that the structure could lie flat on the surface of the table or any other platform, do not stagger or roll.
    • We put a small piece of cheese or cookies on the edge of the "mousetrap", and put the design on the edge of any surface you choose in such a way that the bait is on the opposite side (see figure).
    • Now you need to put an empty open bin under the designed structure. so that the mouse does not get out.

    Actually, after the mouse goes to the goal in construction, it will inevitably fall into the bin, what to do later is a matter of humanity for everyone, the main charm of the method is that you do not need to buy any mousetraps and listen to the grieving girl over the dead mouse, it’s enough let out.

    PS: After reading the post yesterday at work, we designed three such mousetraps, and this morning we carried two mice into the street.

    UPD:Thoughts are rumored, because this very simple method was invented by ordinary ingenuity, and I had a question, those who constructed a mousetrap. and those who approved it and authorized for sale, they needed to come up with such a method for reporting, or they were just bloodthirsty, to such an extent that they did not think about safety, because how many people had come at the time to this miracle of engineering =)
