Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Had a mouse that became weary of the normal spring trap. Rather than spend $20-00 on a different type, I took the back shed approach and made one. Not only did it catch the main critter, but shortly after caught its mate. Anyway, the trigger circuit may be of interest. It could no doubt be made simpler, but this was cobbled together with what was on hand, at a cost of $0-00. my favorite price
