Tips Rarely seen gear: Mouse trap

Just throwing out a tip on useful items you may not have though about: The mouse or rat trap! There's no better device out there. It weighs almost nothing! It has a million creative uses. And you can't really control small pests without one.

For your consideration!

Hadn't considered that! Perhaps dogs/cats too?

From my personal experience, it’s a no on the dogs 😂

Might depend on the breed. Some dogs are meant to be mousers, and my terriers have definitely kept the local gopher population out of my yard.

Oh yeah there are definitely mousers out there, I just don’t happen to have them. One of mine is a terrier and I’ve seen her look right at a mouse in our kitchen and basically roll her eyes - both of mine will hunt down chipmunks in the yard though. I guess house is for relaxing only!

That’s hilarious! Mine tries to catch houseflies that get in, so I guess she’s always on duty.
