    Default Octagonal Mouse Trap

    Greetings all,

    I remember as a kid (early 70's) there was a wooden octagonal mouse trap which would trap 8 mice at once. The mice would have to enter the trap from one of the eight holes in each side.

    Can anyone remember them?
    If so are they still available to buy, or does anyone know how they work so I could build one?

    Cheers

    I remember them being octagonal, but only remember them being able to catch 4 mice at a time, I have seen them do this.. Mouse plauge in Renmark SA in 1980..

    I think you should be able to get them at a good hardware store or even try a stock feed place..
    I try and do new things twice.. the first time to see if I can do it.. the second time to see if I like it

    A half decent siamese will do the same and you don't have to dispose of the carcasses

    Mind you, my useless animal is less than quarter decent using that sort of thinking
