Muff Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Well here at work we have been having some mice trouble in the control room so one of the other guys and I set up the old bucket of water with a can on a wire across the top....add a little peanut butter to the can and sit back and wait....in less than a hour I watched the first one take the splash.....first time I have ever used this kind of trap....it worked great!....any of you out there use this kind of trap for mice?.....and yes it is a slow night....just sittin around waiting for mice to fall into a bucket:D:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Shooter Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 That is a slow night, I've never heard of a trap in that fashion. Sounds fun to watch, but I'd have to add something extra to it, like a slingshot as they walked the wire.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htephil Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 One little mousy, two little mousies, three little mousies! LOL!! To funny! Love the Wolfe Island sig. I & my son use to head to Wolfe Island every year (about 10) in Sept to fish for Northerns/smallies/ & walleye. Loved to stay at the Hitchcock House and listen to Jan share his wisdom. Sure miss taking the trip ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I use one in the attic Joe. But this time of year I use the blue windsheild cleaner so it does not feeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 We use that type up in our house upstate. I use the RV anti freeze in my bucket and we get lots of 'em. Good luck gettin'em all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierbuck Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I can think of two types of this trap, one where you put a can on a wire like this (and when the mouse crossed the wire to get the peanut butter, his weight rolls the can and he goes in the drink to drown) and the other a little more elaborate with a string and a ping-pong ball as the bait over the bucket with a stick leaned up like a ramp, ALMOST close enough to reach the peanut butter on the ball...

wtnhunt Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I have one setup in the garage now, hope the water has not frozen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 put some anti freeze in it.....I know guys that do that at their hunting camps for the winter so it works all year long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 put some anti freeze in it.....I know guys that do that at their hunting camps for the winter so it works all year long. Thanks Joe, I might try that. Would just have to be sure to keep our outside dog out of the garage when the door is open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
