DIY Homemade Mouse Trap: Toilet Paper Roll Edition | Handsome Youth Of Classical Mythology

Introduction

Are you tired of pesky mice running rampant in your home? Are you looking for a humane and inexpensive way to catch them? Look no further than the DIY homemade mouse trap using a toilet paper roll.

Materials

To make this trap, you will need the following materials:

Toilet paper roll
Peanut butter
String
Bucket
Stairs or a ledge

Step 1: Smear Peanut Butter

Take a spoonful of peanut butter and smear it on one end of the toilet paper roll. Mice love peanut butter, so this will attract them to the trap.

Step 2: Tie String

Tie a string around the middle of the toilet paper roll. Make sure the string is long enough to hang over the edge of a bucket.

Step 3: Set Up the Bucket

Place the bucket at the bottom of a flight of stairs or a ledge. The height should be enough so that the mouse cannot jump out of the bucket once it falls in. Make sure there is a soft landing at the bottom of the bucket, such as a towel or newspaper.

Step 4: Hang the Trap

Hang the toilet paper roll over the edge of the bucket, with the peanut butter side facing inward. The mouse will climb onto the toilet paper roll to reach the peanut butter, causing the roll to spin and the mouse to fall into the bucket.

Conclusion

This DIY homemade mouse trap using a toilet paper roll is a humane and effective way to catch mice. It is also inexpensive and easy to make. Give it a try and see for yourself. Happy trapping!
