Are you sick and tired of seeing mice scurrying around your home? Do you want to find an effective and budget-friendly solution to get rid of them? Look no further! In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to catch mice using homemade traps. Let’s get started!

What You’ll Need:

  • A small empty cardboard box
  • A ruler or a pencil
  • Wire or string
  • Peanut butter or cheese (mouse bait)
  • A tall bucket
  • A sturdy stick or wooden spoon

Step 1: Creating the Box Trap

Take the small empty cardboard box and remove the lid. Using a ruler or a pencil, mark a small rectangular hole near the bottom of one of the sides. This will be the entrance for the mouse. Cut out the hole carefully.

Step 2: Setting the Mouse Bait

Place a small amount of peanut butter or cheese near the entrance of the box. Mice are attracted to these smells, and it will entice them to enter the trap.

Step 3: Constructing the Bucket Trap

Find a tall bucket and fill it partially with water. Make sure the water level is not too high, as you don’t want the mice to escape by swimming. Place the bucket near a wall or a high-traffic mouse area.

Step 4: Positioning the Box Trap

Position the box trap on the edge of a table or a countertop, with the entrance hanging over the edge. Make sure the box is stable and won’t fall when the mouse enters it.

Step 5: Propping up the Box Trap

Place a sturdy stick or a wooden spoon under the box, angling it in a way that the entrance is slightly elevated. This will serve as a ramp for the mouse to climb up and enter the box.

Step 6: Waiting for the Mouse to be Caught

Now it’s time to be patient. Leave the trap undisturbed and check on it periodically. Once the mouse enters the box to reach the bait, the stick will fall, causing the box to drop into the bucket, trapping the mouse inside.

Step 7: Releasing the Mouse

Once you’ve successfully caught a mouse, make sure to handle it safely. Wear gloves and transport the trapped mouse to a suitable location far away from your home before releasing it.

Catching mice can be a frustrating process, but with this step-by-step guide to homemade traps, you can take matters into your own hands. Remember to be patient and follow each step carefully. Good luck with your mouse-catching endeavors!
