Methods/steps
1/5 Step by step reading
First, you should prepare one or two mousetraps, not too big. If it is too big, it is easy to break the mouse's foot and cause the mouse to escape. Not too small, too small, no matter how big the mouse is. It is best to have a clip the size of an adult's palm.

Next, we should prepare a small chain about 1 m long to cover one end of the mousetrap. The function of the chain is to fix the mousetrap on a fixture, so that a mouse with legs can't drag the mousetrap away.

It is important to choose a place. It is best to dig a small hole in the path where rats often haunt, but the action should not be too big. The size of the pit is similar to that of the open clamp, and the depth is 3 to 5 cm. When digging a pit, fresh soil should be taken to a distance, and the branches and grass leaves at the edge of the pit should be kept as still as possible.

After the pit is dug, open the clip and put it into the pit carefully. The other end of the chain is tied to a fixture, and the pit and chain are covered with soft branches and leaves. Try to treat it like it was before digging.

After the tools are covered, it is best to sprinkle a few grains of rice or corn nearby and pick them up the next day.
Matters needing attention
You must be patient in catching mice. After the clip is put away, you can't always walk around and look at it, let alone always move the seat of the clip. If you leave the clips in one place for a long time, you will certainly get something.
