I have a bucket trap like that in the RV barn and have caught dozens in it. I pour about 4" of antifreeze in the bottom which eliminates odor from the little bastards.

I just found they invaded my garage and ate some of my camo! The war has begun! 2 with mouse traps and actually made one of the bucket traps I remembered from my old trapping forums just today! Didn't have a 5 gallon bucket I wanted to use so used a smaller one! If it doesn't work I'll go buy a new bucket! But I have seen lots of pictures! They work very well! Coat hangers work better than that big piece of whatever he used! More rotation! It's just like Christmas morning! Can't wait to see how many I have in the morning! I heard more after I caught the 2... Tis the season! But it 3 years I never had to worry about them! Kind of interesting! Crazy how much damage a little critter can do! Hoping I stop it at my camo! Haven't checked everything!

1 of 2!

Can you explain how that bucket trap works? I guess I'm not entirely sure of what I am looking at nor does the design make sense...

Mice climb up the wood and jump onto the can to get the food. The can rotates and they fall into the bucket which has water or antifreeze in it which drowns them.

Ah gotcha I see it now. Thank you for the clarification.

Ya thinking I have to use a 5 gallon bucket... I think these acrobats are jumping back and forth just fast enough to hang on and crawl out because the can had moved but no bobbers! Had another in a mouse trap though! I'm up to 3 now!

Be careful, now ... don't want to exceed your daily bag limit
