Baited ia bowl with a cracker tied to a bell on a string.Then teped it to the top of the bowl. The string on the measuring cup that held the bowl up slightly. Then I ran the string down the hall to where I slept. If I heard the bell I knew he was eating the bait, pulled the sting, and trapped him under the bowl. Evaded me for weeks. I went without a mouse in the house 1 week. Until next time. Thanks for your help.

    How deep does a bin need to be so they can't jump out? I once found a mouse "nest" and put the mice in a small garbage bin (about 50cm deep) - they all jumped out. Or does there need to be something in the bottom to absorb the energy when they try to jump?

    I woke up in the middle of the night to hear something running under my bed and to my horror saw a small grey mouse running out of my bedroom. For the last few weeks, we’ve pulled up the carpets, plugged any potential mouse holes and used this bucket trick, as wanted an alternative to mouse traps.
    We placed the bucket in the warmest room in the house (laundry/boiler room) and just left it and to be honest, completely forgot about it 😂
    You need a lot of patience as this was not an overnight operation but took 2-3 weeks until we caught a mouse. Would recommend to anyone looking for a laid back approach to catching mice.

    I am now putting this to the test in my home. I got three 5 gal buckets with water in them. Will see how they do in practice. I have a well sized colony in my home by now so if they work at all, they will work well. I added canola il on the rim to make it easier for the mice to slip in as well.

    I tried this idea. Came home and found the bucket full of mouse droppings, the peanut butter gone, and no sign of the mouse! I have tried every trick in the book. I am basically putting on a free mouse buffet. My life is a Tom and Jerry cartoon at this point, spending all my spare time plotting against my arch nemesis, the mouse.

      The bucket probably wasn’t tall enough. Add water, you can’t really jump while standing in water. Or, if you don’t want to drown them, put oil in the bottom, just enough to completely cover the bottom. Their feet will be so slick they can’t hold onto the rim.

    Shawn, several years ago I had a cookout and had a 6 gallon bucket with water in case of fire as we were in a terrible drought. After the cooking was finished and the fire was out, I doused the areas around the grill and stuck the bucket inside a shed. Someone had thrown a chicken leg bone in the gallon of water left in the bucket. I came out to do some yard work the next morning and was going to dump the water as it was next to my work bench. There was a huge dead rat in it. Apparently he had tried to get to it off the workbench and fell in but couldn’t get out. This video brought back a good memory for me. Take care and Friday and today Your counter showed I was #421 on the Like counter. Have a great week and check You Friday 🤠

      50 years ago, in 'A' school at Great Lakes, they still had some of us living in old WW2 "H" barracks. we did the same for cockroaches. one legendary Jurassic roach was pinned to the bulletin board on top of a dollar bill. No BS: it was larger than the bill. people would come from all over the base to see it.
