Rat traps were soon placed to catch them. A few years later I saw a flat mate have the comic book reaction of fear upon seeing a mouse and I found it deeply amusing. I was also surprised by how ugly that mouse was.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was younger I remember walking through a museum with exhibits of how people would catch mice in the olden days. The one that I remember is one that would drown rats and mice. There is a channel on youtube celebrating the art of catching, mice, gophers, rats, voles, moles, yellowjackets etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-embed-aspect-16-9\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"This Complicated Antique Mousetrap Was Invented By A Mechanical Genius.
