The challenge is on. Which of the above is the better mousetrap? So far the score is one all.
The Milo tin with the lid held up with a matchstick and a bit of bait rice in the bottom has been more effective. The mouse was let out at West Hampstead station on my way to work hopefully to live a productive life scouring the rubbish on the railway sidings of London (although likely to end up as a local cat's breakfast). The one that Fox caught was dropped in the garden and is probably relaxing in the shed with an acorn cup of nettle tea frightening the grand-kids with a monster story.
There are loads of sites with home built trap ideas. See some of the following: soda bottle trap, toilet-roll tube trap and a couple more.
