Company Sells Tick Tape And Humane Mouse Traps
Billy-Bob Products specializes in creative items that improve your quality of life, including the company’s clothing-safe Tick Tape. “I grew up in rural Illinois, on 36 acres—very humble beginnings,” says Jonah White, founder and owner. “I had to hunt for food to help supplement our family’s menu, and I was always plagued with ticks and chiggers when I walked out of the woods.”
White’s solution was to roll duct tape strips sticky-side-out around his ankles. “It was expensive for us and not very efficient, but it worked to reduce the number of ticks I would have to pull off.”
Years later, White designed a superior alternative. “What can I say? Everything in life comes full circle. My Tick Tape is much less expensive and works so much better than what I used to use. I use it, especially when I mushroom hunt in the spring, and the seed tick nests are thick in the woods.”
Billy-Bob’s Tick Tape is good for hunters, hikers and campers. Just apply the double-sided tape around your ankles to prevent ticks from crawling up your clothing—any that try will get stuck partway. The tape is sold on the Billy-Bob Products website for $12.99 per 30-ft. roll.
Another of White’s inventions is the Billy-Bob Mouse Trap, designed to humanely catch and remove large numbers of mice. It works without harmful poisons, sticky messes, or even killing the mice.
The included bottom tray is split into two compartments, one for bait and the other for an ice cube. Peanut butter, wild bird seed, nuts, cheese, and popcorn make great, shelf-stable mice bait. Mice will climb through the hole in the top and become trapped within the metal cage. The bait ensures the mice stay alive. That’s ideal, as the caught mice will attract more over several days.
The trap works best when set in a secluded area away from light—garages, sheds, and barns are all ideal. Consider placing it underneath stairs, inside cabinets, or tucked back in closets within a house. After a couple of days, check the trap and empty it by releasing the bait tray at the bottom to free the mice into a more suitable habitat like the woods.
Each Mouse Trap costs $39.99 and can house a dozen-plus mice at a time.
