Kibkom North Cyprus Forum

As a Cypriot and "Mr know it all" I am a bit embarrassed to ask this question but does anyone know where in Girne I can buy mouse traps - old style? The cage type that shuts behind the mouse when they go for the food, or the ones that have a "funnel shape" entrance where the narrowing pointed ends prevent the mouse from going out again.

They are a rare commodity nowadays and instead of searching all relevant shops for many hours, I thought someone might have seen or bought one from a specific shop. Any suggestions would be most helpful.

Thanks for the info Keith

There is lots of info on line about how to make homemade humane mouse traps. We had mice in our store room. Caught eight of them humanely. Getting rid of them was a problem ! We managed to get them into a box and released them outside in some fields away from houses. We used the bin, piece of wood and cardboard toilet roll holders method. And lots of peanut butter !!

They often have mousetraps in Lemar.

Mr. Pound.

Thanks everyone - but Lemar and Mr Pound seem to have the spring ones that violently shut spilling the guts everywhere. On the way to Yapı market I dropped in a shop inside town and the guy buying some paint there happened to be the importer of the ones that shut behind the mice once they go for the food inside the trap. A bit dramatic but exactly what I wanted (I guess... let's see what happens in the morning).
