Mice can be a real problem, this time of year they aren\u2019t satisfied with staying outside.\u00a0 This means that they will bring all of their diseases with them, if you let them.\u00a0 Exterminators can be expensive, and traps can too.\u00a0 My favorite store bought trap is the igloo-like electric trap, and that can cost as much as $50 depending on where you get it.\u00a0 Poisons can be dangerous to children and pets, and might leave a dead animal trapped in your walls rotting.\u00a0 Like always, it\u2019s better if you can just do it yourself.\u00a0 Here is a video demonstrating and explaining the building of an inventive DIY mouse trap made from material that you might already have laying around your house.\u00a0 It is a live trap, which not everyone prefers, but if you want it dead you can always kill it after catching it.\u00a0 Good luck.<\/p>\n
