Idea To Catch Rats or Mice MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Pest Animals 27-2-41 Here's an idea that's been around but really works to catch lots of rats or mice. Slip an empty pop can onto a straight piece of coat hanger wire by poking a hole in the bottom of the can and passing the wire through from top to bottom. Melt holes on either side of the top of a 5 gal. bucket to run the wire across the top of the bucket. Run a small piece of wood up to the top of the bucket. Drill a hole in the end of the wood and in the side of the bucket and tie it in place.
Put a brick in the bottom of the pail for stability if you're going to catch rats. Put about 2 in. of anti freeze in pail. Smear peanut butter on the pop can. You can also smear a little on the ramp to get their attention. Mice and rats will try to get at the peanut butter on the can and fall in the bucket. The anti freeze will not only kill them but it also takes care of the smell. Just empty it out every three or four days. This really works great.
