This guy has some interesting videos. Calls his series "Mousetrap Mondays". He's explored and built old designs, tested the new, and is fun to watch.
I like this one: Walk the Plank. I actually ordered one to deal with some squirrels. We'll see how it fares.
The author of that video, Shawn Woods, [if that is his real name] is the internet's foremost authority on mouse traps and the history of mouse traps. I suspect when youtube changed their monetization policy, he was forced to get a job or sell mouse traps. You can watch youtube until you are blue in the face and never find anyone better than Shawn Woods https://www.youtube.com/user/historichunter/videos

I've never understood why anyone would want to release a rat or mouse after they catch them. What's the point in catching them in the first place?
A number of years ago, I was in a Walmart store, in the pet food department. I look down the aisle and see one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen coming towards me. This gal was blonde, extremely pretty, dressed very nicely, and you could tell she was not the average Walmart shopper. She came up to me and said "excuse me, sir, I'm looking for mousetraps, do you know where they are?" Now, I'm starting to imagine all sorts of things......maybe she's liking what she sees, maybe that's her way of breaking the ice, maybe she will want me to come over and show her how to set the trap.....that's just how captivating this gal was. Anyway, I know where the mousetraps are, and I take her there. I pick up one and say "is this what you're wanting?" She takes a step back, and says "oh no, I don't want a trap that's going to kill them, I want a live trap, so I can take them back outside and let them go." But, I tell her "when you do that, they just come back in." She says she doesn't care, that she loves all animals and doesn't believe in killing any of them. I knew right then and there that this gal, no matter how beautiful she was, was not someone that I would ever be on good terms with. So, I wished her good luck with her mouse trapping, and walked away. I will admit though, that every time I'm in a Walmart, and walk past the mousetraps, I still remember her.
True story.

True story. I guess it would have been very un-PC to have told her that in the Middle Ages women in Europe used pussies to catch mice?
