Yep SF is where I got the idea and a quick google search turned up the directions (if you need them)
Bucket Trap The only difference was the cans we have are opened with an opener that goes around the edge taking the whole top off. Very simple to drill and fit that way then reattach and tape with whatever is handy. Seems to work like a charm if you can keep the dog away from the peanut butter. I'll never buy another mouse trap. Oh where the wire goes over the edge of the bucket if you bend far enough will pinch the top putting enough pressure on to hold without moving. That way there is no need to drill any holes in perfectly good buckets.

Gotta say, I've never seen that type of mouse trap! That is simply brilliant! I wonder how long they splash around in the soapy water before they die? That is very cool! Well at least they die after having a bath. Simple and effective... You suppose if I built a great big un' and bolted cases of beer to the surface of the wheel I could catch ARFcommers? Question of course would be... water wings supplied or no? |
