Today i finally outwitted our resident mouse, or should i say; one of our resident mice! Here's the lego trap that finally worked. This was trap mkIII, a conventional non-fatal trap box with sprung snapping lid with very lightly triggered falling floor. The bait goes on the floor, the mouse climbs in, the lid comes down, wo ha hah ha hhhaaaa.

Other failed methods included

1. Using a remote UPnP camera in the kitchen, monitoring from upstairs, then coming down to try and take on the mouse in hand-to-hand combat. Seemed a good idea after a few drinks.
2. mkI - simply a sandwich box with a trap door, but it managed to jump out.
3. mkII - similar idea, but using a waste-paper bin instead, again the mouse alluded the trap door and ate all the bait
