Mouse trap

[Bob the slob]

Seen a mouse last night in my apt. Its in the 3rd floor am baffled as to how it got there.

Where can I get one in Tallaght? Was thinking Woodies myself. Need to get it at lunch.

Any DIY store, even local shops usually sell them.

Thats what I thought. Woodies has wooden ones and thats it. B&Q had about 7 different types of traps. Hats off to B&Q

if you're buying a regular old fashioned snap yer neck trap, dont get a cheap plastic one. I ended up fattening up a mouse for a week on one of those... it kept eating the bait and the trap didn't snap. Eventually binned them and bought a humane one that traps the mouse - worked a treat first time and the little fella is possibly still running around the woods now!

Tesco also sell them. The best ones I've found are the wooden ones with the yellow plastic plate. Can't think of the name for them for the life of me. A bit of ham fat or chicken fat mushed into the plate should do the job, alternately, just set the trap unbaited where the beggar is running.

A piece of a Cadburys Timeout bar also works!
