Description: | A triple mouse trap in the form of a rectangular wooden box; It has three blind holes drilled bored into the one side (the back of each hole would have contained bait); Two separate sprung wire nooses (one is missing, there should be three) are positioned so as to be able to be pulled into position at the entrance to the holes (through a wooden slot parallel to and just behind the face of the trap); Once triggered by the mouse entering the wire noose would shoot upward catching the mouse in the neck/chest region and causing death by a combination of crushing and consequent asphixiation (it is conceivable that the force could be geat enough to break the spine causing a quicker and more humane despatching of the vermin). | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
