Many homeowners around the world are in trouble due to frequent mouse attacks. These rodents start by destroying vegetation and fruits outside.

No one can tolerate these hyperactive rodents in the house because they can destroy almost everything that comes their way. They start attacking your food sources in the kitchen and soon will also target your books and clothes as well.



Experts reveal that Chicago mice also use to carry harmful diseases with them that can be transferred to pets and humans around. Hence, it is important to take immediate steps to get rid of the mouse. You might have used some home-based repellents and deterrents in advance, but if they have not provided you desired results, it is right time to use some humane mouse traps. Below we have discussed some proven methods to trap a mouse without killing them.

1. Spin the bottle trap:
When you have to catch multiple Illinois mice together, this spin the bottle trap can serve you better. All that you need to do is take a large bucket and create a hole at one side of the bucket. This hole must be in the middle of the large bucket. Now create a ramp for the rat so that he can easily walk to this hole in the middle of the bucket. Further, inside this hole, you have to fix a bottle or can in such a way that if mice walk over it, the bottle/can start spinning fast. In order to attract mice towards this trap, you need to use some peanut butter on the other side of the bottle/can. This spinning bottle will cause fall of mice into a bucket, and this trick will work for several rats at once.

2. Flipping plate trap:
Another trustworthy trap for Chicago mice can be created with a disposable, lightweight plate. All that you need is a large bucket, a wood plank, and a metal wire to hang the plat in the middle of the bucket. The idea is to use bait on the one end of the plate that is in the middle of the large bucket and keep the other end connected to the path created for the mice using the wooden plank. When the mice jump on the plate to eat peanut butter or cheese placed as bait, the plate will start flipping due to overweight, and the mice will soon fall into the bucket.

You can also find some humane Illinois mice traps in the market that are easy to set and can help to capture these rodents without killing them.
