OH MON DIEU! TRAPPE DE SOURIS (OH MY GOD! MOUSETRAP)

OH MON DIEU! TRAPPE DE SOURIS (OH MY GOD! MOUSETRAP)- image

This mousetrap was designed to solve the problem of neatly disposing of caught vermin by building the trap itself into a mini, rodent-sized coffin. With a simple slogan atop the box (Oh My God! Mouse Trap) the container can be opened using the lid... or not, for the more squeamish pest catchers among us. Although if this mousetrap might not improve the functionality of the product, it does attempt to treat the killing of the mouse with more respect. And in addition the clever thing about this packaging is also that you don’t have to get the dead mouse out of it, you can simply just bury the whole thing. All pieces are included except the rubber mouse. The concept was not tested on living animals.
