Got A Big Surprise From A Mouse When You Opened Your Cabinet? Better Get Rid Of It Fast

If you see one mouse in your home, then you likely have more. You may be surprised at how fast they can multiply if you do not get rid of them as soon as you see them. Over time, you could have thousands of mice in your home. To prevent this from happening to you, below are two types of mouse traps you can use.

Bucket

If you do not want to kill your mice, you can use a bucket to remove them from your home. You can make this trap yourself using the following items:

  • 5-gallon bucket
  • 1 wooden dowel
  • Electric drill
  • Empty water bottle
  • Peanut butter
  • Scrap of wood for a ramp

Use the electric drill to put two holes on each side of the bucket. The holes need to be large enough to insert the wooden dowel in.

Take a water bottle and cut the closed end off, and remove the cap from it. Place a wooden dowel in one hole of the bucket, put the dowel inside the water bottle, and then put the other end of the dowel into the opposite hole. Spread some peanut butter all around the water bottle.

Set the bucket on the floor and use the wood to make a ramp. A mouse will climb up the ramp and get on top of the water bottle. Once it does, the water bottle will start rolling and the mouse will fall into the bucket.  Repeat this for a few days, as you likely have more than one mouse.

Electronic Mouse Trap

Another type of mouse trap that works well is an electronic mouse trap. This type of trap uses batteries, and when a mouse walks inside of it the trap senses the mouse, and it gets an electronic shock that kills it within seconds. You can find this trap at pet stores, and it will come with instructions on how to set it up.  You will have to bait the trap using things like cheese, peanut butter, etc. Once it kills the mouse you simply turn it off, and dump the mice in a trash can or somewhere outside so you do not have to handle them in any way.

If you continue to see mice in your home, then you likely have a bad infestation of them. You need to call a pest control company as soon as possible so they can remove them for you.
