Simple, fast and effective - plastic bottle mouse trap, video

Tell me how to make a mouse trap from a plastic bottle, the video will be especially useful to me. I don't know what to do with these rodents, as soon as it is autumn, there are crowds of them in the house. It got to the point that things in the wardrobes began to spoil, and the smell of a mouse in the rooms is such that it's just horrible. I can't put the poison in, because I’m a small child, and we don’t have a cat.

If mice appear in the house, this is not only unpleasant, but also very problematic. They make moves, gnawing through wallpaper and even walls, spoil stocks of food and generally behave like owners. The safest way to get rid of uninvited residents is a mouse trap from a plastic bottle (a video example will be in the article below). Of course, it is more efficient to use special poisons, but there is always the opportunity to do so. Pets and small children can be hurt if they suddenly find the poison and decide to try it. A trap is a safe for other inhabitants of the house, but at the same time an effective method for getting rid of pests. In addition, it is easy to make it, because all the necessary materials are in every home.

Trap for mice from a plastic bottle, video

Unlike store-bought mousetraps, designed for one-time use, a bottle can catch a dozen individuals. If the mousetraps need to be reloaded, the bottle is not.

There are a lot of trap models. These can be the simplest bait traps, so to speak, humane, when the animals remain alive. Or advanced whole devices, hitting which, the mice die. Let's look at a few of the easiest to make.

Hanging trap

To make it you will need:

• bottle (capacity is not important);
• a piece of rope;
• cargo.

Just cut a hole at the top of the bottle so that the animal can crawl through. Now tie a rope around the neck and tie the other end to the weight. This can be a kettlebell or other heavy object that can be placed on a table. Place the bottle itself on the edge of the table, but so that it does not fall by itself, and put the bait on the bottom. Smelling her scent, the mouse climbs, under its weight the bottle will turn over and fall, hanging on the rope.

To prevent the animal from getting out, the walls of the bottle can be greased from the inside with sunflower oil.

Needle trap

Another simple model, for the manufacture of which you need removable needles from medical syringes. You don't need to do anything with the bottle, just open the cork, throw a piece of cheese inside and leave it lying down. Dodgy mice climb quite calmly through a narrow neck. And so that they cannot get out, stick the needles around the neck so that they stick out obliquely inside. Sharp tips will not give rodent get close to the saving hole.

Skewer bottle

And this trap is useful if there are a lot of pests, and there is no way to often look in and free the bottles. Take a bottle, stick bait on the sides (pieces of cheese, biscuits) and thread a wire through the bottle. Now prepare your old waste bucket. Pour in a couple of liters of water, and secure the bottle with wire at the top. Do not forget to attach a board along which rodents can climb onto the bucket and the bottle. It will scroll and the mice will fall into the water.
