I received this email this morning-

“You are a legend for designing the humane mousetrap!

After many failed attempts with conventional traps, I tried your design, and it actually worked!

Thanks heaps!”

Thanks Symon!

This contribution from Jody- who has a great web site Jody’s Jungle where she posts animal cruelty issues.

“I have had a mouse/rat/rodent in my kitchen for 8 months. I placed 11 traps in the kitchen, none of them were glue traps. As of now, my rodent is strong and healthy, I cannot catch him, I tried starving him to death, that lasted all of two days, I couldn’t stand it. I have named my rodent ‘Boo’…he loves tomato’s and all fruits and vegetables, he never poops on the kitchen floor, only under the stove.”

Thanks Jody!

I get a lot of interesting email from my mouse trap site. I received this email a couple of days ago. A bit strange (even for me), but hey! Whatever floats your boat, I always say.

“I had been given two baby mice as small as your finger nail last year when my aunt disturbed a nest.

I did manage to save one of them by feeding him through an eye dropper which was as big as his head, but i did do it and I trained him to stay under my shirt all the time.

Some think im crazey, but I love him so and he loves me. He never goes to the bathroom on me, as he goes in his tank, ( nite time house), and is my best buddy. I kiss him and he kisses me with his little tongue. He is hardly away from me during the day.

They are the most gentle and loving creatures God has made. Why so many peoole hate and are afraid of them is beyond me. this is my 3rd mouse which has been my buddy.

I have saved lots of other mice from many locations and I am the official mouse saver and rescue person in our large family.

In all I must of been in contact with over 150 mice over the past 10 years.. Never did I get sick, Nor have I ever heard of a pesson who did.

As all animals can pick up bacteria and such, but they are clean animals if left in the wild and to do there natural cleaning and such..its the humans who create the filth which causes these problems.

No one can ever convince me otherwise that these little creatures who are so meak and so humble and which can share such devotion and love with humans. Are a gift to us. We just dont see the gift enough.

Me and my pet mouse Gooby

Lisa”

Thanks for sharing!

I recently received this email from Ralph K.-

First of all, thank you so much for your genius mouse trap design! My mother
had a mouse in her house and as most women (for some reason that I still don’t
understand ) she was not too thrilled about the situation. We tried to catch
the mouse with 3 regular mouse traps (the kind that doesn’t kill it). The next
morning the cheese in all three traps was gone and the doors were shut (don’t
ask me, how that was possible). So my mother got even more nervous and called
some “professional mouse hunters” and they came and put poisoned bait
everywhere. By that time I found your mouse trap on the internet and I gave it a
try. Sure enough just a few hours after I placed the trap, the mouse was in it!
I was a bit surprised too, that it worked so fast and so efficiently and best of
all, without killing the little fellow. Needless to say, that I am now my
mother’s hero (even more so, than before )…

So your trap works just great.
As bait I used cereals, and a whole wheat cookie. And instead of the oil spray, I
just used butter!

I also used some books to make sure the mouse
was able to get into the trap. I am not sure if this was necessary. Unfortunately I couldn’t
take a picture of the mouse in it, because my mother was so anxious for me to
get the mouse out of the house, that I didn’t have time to get my camera….

So as you can see, I love your trap! Thanks again and happy mouse hunting.

best regards, Ralph K.

Thanks Ralph!
