“Teeter Totter” Mouse Trap
 |
 |
The patent pending trap is made of high- impact polystyrene plastic and comes with a 1 3/8-in. wide, 13-in. long pivoting beam. You simply put a dab of peanut butter on the end “plank” and crumple up a paper sack or other easy-to-climb material next to the bucket. Mice will “walk the plank” to get to the bait and fall into the bucket. The trap then resets itself.
The bucket can be partially filled with water to drown the mice.
“We know this trap works,” says Tracy Matzen.” “We placed our final prototype in a massive poultry barn in Arkansas and caught more than 390 mice over one weekend. We set the trap on a Friday night, and on our first trip back to check it, the bucket was so full of mice they were crawling over each other to escape. It looked like something from a horror movie. That’s when we realized we might be on to something.”
The Teeter Totter trap sells for $14.95 plus $3.55 S&H. Call for bulk order pricing.
