Αν το αφήσετε ελεύθερο στα χωράφια, είναι πιο καλά από να το σκοτώσετε,υπάρχουν και γεράκια, σας ευχαριστώ
Using a 12cm diameter PVC pipe, a couple of pieces of chipboard, some nails and a rubber band you can make an easy mouse trap.
Close one end of the pipe with some chicken wire and drill two holes in the middle. These two holes will accomodate the center axle where the pipe willl pivot.
Take extra care though, to make the upper hole bigger than the lower one, so that the pipe will be able to tilt a bit up and down too. That up and down movement is essential in order to "unlock" the trap and let it close.
Make a small notch in the lower part of the open end of the pipe, to use as a lock in the "armed" position.
Now place the axle in the wooden base and place the pipe on the axle so that it is able to rotate, (and tilt) and figure out the position where to place the cap of the pipe according to it's length. That cap will keep the mouse in the trap once it has been activated.
See, what happens is this: we want the mouse to go into the pipe, and then move the pipe around the axle to the "closed" position, where the open end meets the caps and effectively closes the pipe end, keeping the mouse inside.
In order to achieve this, we place a small nail in a strategic position, and on that nail we catch the small notch we made in the open end of the pipe earlier. This will keep the pipe in the open position. Run the rubber band around the pipe's open end, and catch it on another nail so that it pulls the pipe. However, it can't close the pipe because it's securely caught on the notch.
Now if a mouse is to enter the pipe, and walk all the way to the closed end, where the bait probably is, the weight is enough to tilt and raise the open end and unlatch it from the nail, allowing the rubber band to pull the pipe, pivot around the axle and meet the closure, effectively traping the mouse.
Of course you can put any kind of bait in the trap, and once you catch the rat, it's a good idea to let it loose somewhere in the fields, away from the house, so that other rat eating animals and birds have something to eat. In my area we have hawks and falcons.
