The summer season is not only the time for berries and ripe fruits, it is also an endless struggle with rodents, which strive to climb onto the site, or even into the house.
Finding an effective way
Many gardeners endlessly study the forums, trying to find some effective means for intruders to leave their territory. Today we will talk about a trap, the main idea of which is to use a balloon.
What is needed for this
Everything is simple here, you just need a bucket, the balloon itself, a couple of small boards, and the bait - cheese or grain.
How the trap is prepared
First you need to inflate the balloon to such a size that it fits snugly into the bucket. Then, after the base of the structure for trapping rodents is ready, any delicacy is scattered there: grains, crumbs, cookies.
A plank is leaning against the bucket, which acts as a bridge. That's it, the mousetrap is ready!
How it works
Rodents climb the bridge into a bucket, see a treat there and start running around an inflated balloon, collecting goodies. And one fine moment, when their sharp claws stretch it out, in an instant they will be at the bottom of the bucket. To make the method even more effective, someone pours water on the bottom.
Does it work with rats
With mice, the method will definitely be effective, but the rats are able to overturn the bucket and all the work will be in vain. If the hunt is for rats, then you can fix the bucket, protecting it from overturning and take a larger container. For example, a metal rounded high capacity.
