Part of teaching
Professor Gunnar H. Gundersen has around 300 different mousetraps from around the world in their collection. He uses mousetraps as part of a curriculum for students in product design, he says the school’s research magazine “Knowledge + practice.”
It’s construction and solutions that fascinates professor.
– The is no affectation with mousetraps. Everything is made as simple as possible. Nothing gets in the way of the structures, thus they also become easier to read. Mouse traps are an academic and visual experience for anyone who is concerned with the design, he said.
– My absolute favorite purely aesthetic is a pottery shed from Tunis, he says to Hytteliv.
This pottery trap was found during excavations in the East. The trap has also air holes and is intended to capture mouse alive. It is constructed so that the mouse can be released into the wild.

The easiest Spinning Jenny is made of a coke or beer can and one wire. Cola bottle is smeared with peanut butter. The trap is usually placed above a bucket, optionally filled with water. Gunnar H. Gundersen has even given the name of Photo: Benjamin A. Ward
Caught traps: Department at Produktdesign Gunnar H. Gundersen, at Oslo University College and Akershus for years collected on mousetraps and uses this in its curriculum. Photo: Benjamin A. Ward (HiOA)
How do you ensure you
In order to avoid unwelcome guests should, in addition to setting up mousetraps, close all openings greater than six millimeters to avoid house mouse.
House mice are capable to climb, according to Public Health and therefore must also openings high up on the cabin ensured. The transition between the foundation and the wall are often exposed. Basement windows must be whole.
Vents secured with strong metal mesh.

Doors must tightly to the frame. In places that are especially susceptible to rodents can metal fittings attached at the bottom of the doors to prevent animals gnaw through.
All walls must be free of holes and cracks.
Pipes secured with concrete, specially designed dense pasta or galvanized sheets. It is best if the basement floor is cast.
Test Winner: Muse Trap Rap 2 was the winner in a test sheet Villmarksliv had of mousetraps. They captured nearly 100 mice in the various test models in a matter of months. The winner is according the test easy to set up. You do not have to take on the dead mouse, and the materials are plastic and metal. The scored above average on the capture success and good at killing ability. Photo: Dag Kjelsaas
