Don’t they?

No. Ezy set mousetraps webt out of business a good while back and the made in China copies just don’t cut it. There have been numerous new mousetrap designs designed to be better but they simply aren’t

Mousetraps do benefit from being simple as possible

There’s this US patent from 1882, which someone described as ‘perhaps the most American thing i’ve ever seen’:

I saw a good mouse trap design.
It was a bucket that had a lid.
The lid had a centrepiece that swifled
around.
When a mouse got onto the centre piece
It rotated dropping the mouse into the bucket.

if you go back and klick on my original link
it has at least 20 mousetrap designs, some a darned clever
There are numerous bucket traps for mice and they do work well. The simplest is to smear some peanut butter on a coke can and mount the can so it can rotate over a bucket, One the mice step onto the can they have no recourse.
If hungry you can eat the mice.
However most people put water in the bucket so that the mice drown.
Whether they eat them or not, I am unaware.
“Victorian senator Lidia Thorpe has suffered minor injuries in a car crash.
The independent senator was rear-ended while stationary in a vehicle at the end of last week in Melbourne”
That’s a terrible spot, the intersection of the end of last week and the beginning of next week in Melbourne.

Remind me not to go there.
I was interested to note that I wasn’t the only one to repurpose the fan blade protector grill.

add an e to the end of grill = grille.

grille is the feminine form. grill is the masculine form.

after having removed every food source from my spare room
Ii set a conventional snap-trap and withdrew.
I’d occasionally see the lil bastid scurry across the kitchen floor
and withdraw back beneath the door to the spare room when ever
I’d come charging out into the kitchen and turned on the light…
I’d fling open the door just to see him slide beneath the closet door
…hmm…
So I rebated the snap-trap with a gob of peanut butter, close door
of the spare room and stuffed a towel under the door trapping
him inside WITH THE ONLY POSSIBLE FOOD SOURCE
…AND WAITED…
In spite of my curiosity I refused to open the door for a solid week
so it became a waiting game between me and Schrödinger’s Rat

PMSL.
I see a lot of rat traps around of the three entrance design. At places like CSIRO and service stations.
As for the power of innovation. I’ll get back to you on that one.
