How to turn the mouse false ceiling?

[elephant]

In our previous house, it turned out that it was mice: a super nice beast that jumps incredibly when we put it in a cage: but will you kill them when you have children from 10-12 years old? the House.
So, with the son, we made the "Mickey 2000", the first electronic mouse trap.
An old wine box, an infrared detector, an electromagnet extracted from an old relay to trigger the door.
In fact, the trickiest thing is to transfer the beast into a transport cage to export it 2 kilometers away (I know Stalin did the same thing with the bad Communists), but it was the business of Manu.
Please note, a young field mouse goes through 1 cm trellis mesh.

Protect the cables: in the first version, the beast had eaten them (the mice adore the PVC alarm cables: if you want to run alarm cables through a very cheery ceiling, use rubber insulation: this is yucky!)

Last detail: 86% Côte d'Or Noir chocolate is an excellent bait! (Do not use Swiss or French chocolate)

good evening, I know that chocolate is deadly for mice and rats, and other rodents, not necessarily need for death to rats, some sweets, very sweet like marshmallow teddy bear covered with chocolate will also do the trick

Hell, I'm not the only one with this problem!

Elephant you have almost the same thing as me, mine is 10cmx10cmx60cm with picture window on the top and automatic door in stainless steel.LOL !!

I use a used Aromat sensor with a mini relay whose plastic case is removed to drop the door which is locked using an aluminum rod.

Anyway, I have had a mouse problem for a few years, the first year they screwed up the whole pantry in one night. + -80 DCN of food lost, it is by giving food to the poor. took out one of his molded bag and they had time to make a nest, now everything is in plastic containers, this is where I hack this thing urgently.

The Mickey 2000 is much larger: I used a Visonic SRN2000 detector disassembled at a customer's home due to false alarms and the door is a tilting wooden door (difficult to explain: it has a screw as a pivot and a special shape)

It is adorable a Lerot, do not kill him.
To make him leave, when you leave, you put the transistor at the top of your head at the place where you hear it the loudest. He is going to complain to the gendarmerie for daytime noise. It is then that you catch it, you pull its ears for night noise and you give it its leave, me finally!

But of course on Fly and then I give him your address

Are you sure it's deadly? but after how long?
Because mine prefer it to cheese and I don't have the impression that it slows down their activity.

hello, when i was a kid i once had for Easter a packet of marshmallow teddy bears covered with chocolate, i didn't really like that, so as after a while it was expired, they hardened , with my father we used them as baits, every day 2 or 3 teddy bears and presto, we found little rats punctured under the cabinet of the workshop where we put the baits

Ah good thank you for your answer, I found that:

What is toxic to rats (dog and cat also elsewhere, eh) in chocolate is theobromine.
In itself theobromine is not really toxic to animals, since we even eat it. It's just that the organism of our critters assimilate it less quickly than us and therefore in large quantities, it becomes toxic to them.

And apparently mostly dark chocolate, but you still need a good dose.

Of course, when it is mounted on a spring trap .......

We have the same problem in our house. We have a cat that catches some from time to time but they are clever these creatures.

She ate me antenna cable and telephone. Nest in insulation and scratch at night length.

Personally I reluctantly opted for poison after trying ultrasound, chocolate and the cat in the attic.

Since I put the poison it frankly limited the population but it had to come to an end because I start to hear it from time to time.
