ditto ... I'm jumping on the bucket bandwagon too! Declared war on the mice after I opened the air filter on my truck and found it full of sunflower seeds from the bird food.

Had a look at it, looks very easy to rig up and should be effictive. I'm more than pretty sure my wife wouldn't want to look at the bucket with dead mice and rats thought. We like using the Jaguar bait as they just go die somewhere and we don't have to deal with them.

I had rats in my barn, LOTS of them... I also had 3 barn cats, they did an okay job but still they didn't get all of them. Do your self a favor and get the "Rat Zapper" I think I paid about $50 bucks for it a few years ago, but man, can that think kill rats (safely too). Needless to say, I have no more rats. Google search it, I might even have a photo if I look hard enough. It'll get all your rats. I have chickens, and no rats. Good luck!

I use the bucket trap also but put a toilet paper roll on the wire/with peanut butter on the roll..Works great.

With or without the paper? How do the mice get to the roll? Balancing act along the wire?

Depends on where the little buggers go off and die . If they work their way into an outbuilding or decide they'd like to meet their maker inside the walls of your house if they can find their way in...

Perfect screen name for this discussion though :laughing:.

Hi Max,
I heard about those traps. Some say they are great and some say they don't last.
How's yours on lasting
