7 Best DIY Mousetraps ● All Capture and Release !

  • Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
  • All of the mousetraps I have made over the last 2 years are capture and release which makes them very earth friendly. You can make any of them yourself quite easily. Just catch it and then relocate it outside. Teach your kids to treat animals fairly and responsibly. If you have mice in your house, any of these traps will catch the little rascals safely and easily.
    Note:
    Mice are timid when they are in the bottle. As you put the cap on there is no fear that they will just run out of the bottle onto you. When you put the bottle on the ground, it may take the mouse up to 10 minutes to leave.

    I love the humaneness of these. I tried to convince my parents to let me make these, but they said no. I know that when I'm older, if I ever have a rat or mouse problem, I'm going to do at least one of these. Thank you.

      I totally understand you. I tried to suggest to friends to capture their three baby mouse and the mom, but they don't like rats at all. They killed them. It was hard for me to see them dying. There was nothing I could have done. It wasn't my house.

    Chris thank you for creating these humane mouse traps. I'm going to share this with my 2nd graders. We recently had a mouse in our closet and the kids scared it out of the room! Some of the children were worried when one of the boys talked about killing it. I assured the class we would not be killing the mouse and would let it go. I am sure there are more because it looked like a baby. As a science project, we will make humane traps:-)

    days after I made the trap. Also glad that it was caught in the live trap instead of the glue. It will be free soon!
