Simple Humane Mouse Trap - Only Cardboard, Bait, Bucket

From youtube poster:
We've had a mouse problem in our office for awhile. We've tried to catch them before but had little luck. In February BoingBoing.net linked to a blog post about making a mouse trap out of a cardboard tube. This is the result of that. We've caught 5 mice so far using this method.

From a boing boing link shown in the vid.

Oh yes, SO HUMANE. What are the odds that mouse lived to the end of the day? Sorry to be so cold, but rationally speaking, all these people are doing is making THEMSELVES feel better.

Some of the youtube commenters (so take with a grain of salt, lol) were mentioning that these nice fat indoor mice make great meals for owls when you release them outside since they aren't used to those conditions.

I'd say that's still a better use for them than DEFCON KILLSALOT TRAPS! with SUPER POISON!!! lol And this way they have a chance at least.

The catching method, at least, is humane. What the owls/other predators do to them later, no idea how humane that is.

I'm all for live (and humane) capture and release. Not because I feel sorry for the mouse (I'd be quite happy if it got picked up by an owl, I likes owls!!) but because of something I learned years ago.

I have my pesticide license (legally allowed to handle the really bad stuff!) and had to take course to get it.
On the first day of the course we got to hear statistics and see some pics and vids about accidental poisonings. It was horrible, every year people (mostly kids) and pets die because of poison intended for mice, rats or other pests. I remember one video with a little girl with brain damage from eating some of the poison her parents put out to stop a mouse problem.

If the problem is small and can be dealt with without pesticides then that's the way people should go.

Now having said that, if these people in the video are only catching one mouse a night it's not enough. After about three weeks they will have a problem too big to deal with "humanely", and will have no choice but to go for the chemical option.
