What it is:
basicaly if you like your fuzzy little animals and dont fancy killing any of gods little creatures but you have a mouse problem this will tell how to catch one easily and humanely.
What you need:
...a cardboard kitchen roll tube
...bait (cheese, bread, nuts etc.)
...trash can/bin with steep sides *metal is best*
...a mouse problem
What to do:
...get your trash can/bin and place it beside a table or worktop
...bend your tubing so it is flat on one side and wont roll off where ever you are setting it
...add some bait to the end of your tube
...place it on the edge of eg. a table and make sure the bait end is over the bin, but will not topple over until something enters the tube
How it works:
as you all know mice prefer to run around the sides of rooms and go through small tunnels as they think they are safe. the mouse will smell the bait and when it finds it it will enter the small tube (where it thinks it is safe). as it gets close enough to the bait down the tube the whole thing will topple over into the bin and because of its steep sides the mouse cannot escape. for the mouse its happy days, its in a safe place now and its got some food to fill its stomach... untill it gets chucked out into the cold where it belongs.
if you cant follow my instructions this diagram may help you
cheers and hope my eggs is gettin a little better :)

Can do multiple tubes at the same time, to catch more than one, right? 5*
