Redneck mousetrap

[Mano]

This is the best mousetrap You will ever use. 5 gal bucket with a gallon of RV antifreeze dumped in the bottom,  plastic bottle with a coat hanger through it and some peanut butter on the middle of the bottle.

Lean a board up against the side and it works all year without checking it and no smell.

I use the same type of thing at my hangar, although mine has a steel coffee can on a steel rod.  It's helped me prevent quite a few of the little bastards from setting up shop over the years.

Poor ickle mousey

What an emberrasing way to die.

I bet we could set one of those outside the welfare office and get the same results.  Of course, we'd have to build it a bit bigger and use EBT cards instead of peanut butter.  Oh, I'd not use antifreeze either.  I'd fill the bottom with job applications though that may have the same effect as anti-freeze.

[Nypsy]

Call me worthless and weak but I felt bad for the mouse.

[BluBerry]

the fact they fall into anti freeze to drown in poison is pretty effed up. Why not let them fall into an empty pot they cannot escape from and dispose of them in another way.

Cut and hole in the bottom side of the bucket so they can do it over and over

Agreed, that's pretty needlessly cruel. If you're going to use a kill trap, use one that's more likely to be an instant kill (IE the classing spring traps).

  I think the idea behind this type of trap is that you don't have to check it and reset it.  I'm not saying I am in favor of it, but I understand the reasoning.

  exactly correct sir  this works well when there are LOTS of mice, my friends dads farm uses this setup and catches hundreds of mice a week, he also has 2 55 gallon drums welded together top to bottom and uses it to catch raccoons, when he catches raccoons, he uses a .22 to kill them, the barrels are empty and he checks this one daily.  I have used this setup to catch fishbait too, with the bucket being empty.
