Stricky

Stricky: adjective. Something that is very sticky and tricky, perhaps even stickily tricky or trickily stricky. An example of something stricky is a stricky trap. This ingenious invention relies on stickiness and trickiness to catch mice into a bowl of tomato soup in the following way:
1. The mouse is lured by a fishing rod with cheese.
2. The mouse crosses a wire, which triggers an alarm.
3. Green arrows start glowing, pointing in the direction of the tomato soup.
4. The mouse is tricked into thinking that the green arrows point to an emergency exit and follows them, until it crawls on top of a piece of cardboard with sticky tar on it.
5. The piece of cardboard then slides off of a slide into the bowl with tomato soup.
6. The mouse survives, using the cardboard as a buoy. Don´t worry, if you are not at home at the time, it can survive by eating/drinking the tomato soup.
So, as you can see, stricky traps are very practical and fun to watch when operating. This product covers roughly four metres squared. If you want more information, look at the website www.welovelivemiceandstrickytraps.com.
