Here’s my entry in the Mouse Get! Challenge from Cathal Garvey. I call it the “Peanut Butter Jar Mousetrap Insert.”
The idea is pretty simple. Mice probably like peanut butter enough to squeeze into a small opening for a chance to eat it. If the opening is difficult to wedge back open they might not be able to get back out.
So, buy a jar of peanut butter, eat most of it, leave some peanut butter at the bottom, cut out most of the top from the lid, print the “Peanut Butter Jar Mousetrap Insert“, put the insert with the pointy bits going inside, close the lid, prop it up somewhere so it doesn’t roll away, and wait for your peanut butter covered mouse!
