Redneck Mouse Trap
 ✖  |
“I’ve had great success with this simple redneck mouse trap which I use in my shop and anywhere mice are a problem,” says Loren Lindsay, N. Mankato, Minn. “It makes use of a one-liter plastic bottle with a screw-on cap that fits inside the top of a 5-gal. bucket.
“I make a ramp to the top of the bucket, securing the ramp to the lip of the bucket with nails. Then I drill a hole in the bottle cap and also through the bottom of the bottle. I thread a stiff wire through the bottle and also through a hole in the top of the bucket on both sides. The bottle will rotate on the wire.
“I place a gob of peanut butter on the middle of the bottle. I also pour a few inches of water or antifreeze into the bucket. Mice climb up the ramp and jump down onto the bottle, thinking it’s a solid floor they can stand on to get the bait. Of course, the bottle rotates and the mouse drops into the water and drowns.
“Works great and cost nothing to make. I sometimes find as many as 6 dead mice during a week’s time.”
