Mass Mouse Trap

The mouse population in East Port Medway is on the rise, and people are taking up arms in a counter-attack. I have opted for a “Mass Mouse Trap” (no pun intended) in an attempt to capture multiple mice without re-baiting. The concept is simple… partly fill a bucket with water, and lure the mice to fall in and drown. As pictured below, the bucket of water has two spindles secured above it, the top one with a canister of peanut butter, and the bottom one with a slippery container for the mouse to fall off and drop into the water below.

The trap looks and sounds good, but whether it is effective is yet to be tested.

Post Script (November 10, 2012): Mickey and Mighty Mouse were caught lounging poolside, while Minnie, Speedy Gonzales, and Jerry Mouse were found floating belly-up in the pool.
