Rats or house mouse are among the oldest enemies of man. These animals have been infesting houses, buildings, agricultural farms, and water ways for centuries since man’s existence. Generally, everyone would like to get rid of these animals because of their unsanitary effects to the community. Uses of house mouse If some people are trying to get rid of house mouse permanently, there are, however, people who capture them for some purposes. These purposes include laboratory experiments and studies wherein mouse are used as subjects. Their DNA has several similarities to humans’ making them one of the most commonly used laboratory experiment subject aside from chimpanzees and monkeys. The legal issues of trapping a house mouse Generally speaking, there is no legislature prohibiting mankind to trap mouse in their houses. If man thinks that these animals are infesting his or her property, he or she has all the rights to get rid of them. If you are living in a community where every animal is considered sacred or a reincarnated version of a person, you must first ask the people in the community first if it is just fine to capture house muse and if there is any legal implications of such activity. Humane way of trapping house mouse A live trap and one-way exclusion funnels are two of the most human ways to capture a house mouse. The animals will be trapped inside a cage without killing them. • Live traps. These are rectangular wire container with one-way entrance. The opening contains a wood or metal door with spring trigger. Once the mouse stepped in, the cover flaps and gives way for the mouse to walk through inside. • One-way exclusion funnels. A piece of chicken wire rounded and coiled with plastic funnels at both ends. The funnels serve as one-way entrance for the mouse to get in. once they got in, it will be difficult for them to get out as funnels have ridged edges. The inner ends of the funnels are also designed to be too narrow to fit the mouse from the inside. After trapping a mouse Once a trap is placed, make sure to check on it if any mouse walked inside or if you need to replace the trap. Wear a pair of gloves and immediately dispose of the trapped mouse. Clean up and disinfect the area. ![]() |
