How To Make A No-Kill Mouse Trap To Get Rid Of Mice Without Harm

YouTube

Nobody wants a pesky mouse hanging around the house, but it’s always preferable to find a humane way to get rid of them.

Gone are the days of leaving a piece of cheese in a mouse trap, especially now that Chris Notap has taken to YouTube to teach you how to create a contraption that will get rid of mice without harming them.

This isn’t a one time use kind of machine here, either. You can reuse it as often as you need to, and all it takes to make it is a hanger, a two liter soda bottle, some washers and screws and a two by four block of wood.

As you can see, having the soda bottle balanced just so, a mouse will be able to enter, but will be unable to escape. Until you take the little guy outside and set him free, that is.

If you’ve got a little bit of time and these things lying around your house, why not go ahead and create a safe way to get rid of mice? This helpful video really makes the process easy, and you’ll rest better at night knowing your house is rodent-free.

Check out how this device works and get step by step instructions in the video so you can recreate it for yourself.

See how harmless that was for the mouse? All it will take is a little finagling to get the tilt of the bottle just right, but once you do, you’ve got a safe mouse trap that will rid your home of mice, each and every time you need to!
