Nothing hightech, but just fun to share… (If you’re not supposed to do so, sorry!)
When I was hooking up the LED under my bed and connecting the wiring behind the wall (small space under the roof/behind the bedroom wall) I found out a mouse was in there as well (droppings and chewed stuff). Now it’s a place I don’t go often, as it’s behind the wall and just has a little bit of storage, I don’t want to keep checking if I caught something.
There are very nice (and expensive) options out there, but a simple door sensor on a mousetrap should work just as well!
IF
the contactsensor is open for 10 seconds (to not get a accidental miss report)
THEN
sens a report to all members: “Dead mouse in the house”
Great idea. Last fall (as it turned cold and they came in), I caught several mice after I found some evidence like you. This would’ve been great to have setup then.
