I copied the diagram and instructions for my granddaugher...age 12 years, who thinks mousetraps are just the most terrible devices devised by man! Thanks for the clip.

Wow, I'm glad someone thought of this! I was always concerned with what I would have to do If I had a mouse. I would never be able to kill an animal. I hardly like to kill bugs!
Thanks for clipping this!
