Walk the plank mouse trap

[TNhobbyfarmer]

I have a pole barn at a property I own about 90 miles from my main residence. Mice have always been a problem in the building. I recently made a walk the plank mouse trap and placed it in the building. I have made a couple trips to the property in the last 3 months or so. The trap caught 9 victims the first time and sixteen the second. That thing really works.

If you're not familiar with the trap, Google and/or Youtube it. I was not aware of it until recently. Interesting and effective device.

Thanks. I hadn't heard of these either. I can catch a couple every now and then with the beer can spinning on a tig rod through the bucket trick, but then I forget about it. On my next order!

Someone post a youtube link. Think I have seen them before. I should give it a try. No cats in our family now so they are on the increase.

Post a link. There are lots of competing versions and not sure which trap you mean.

I made/used a similar device. Walk the plank up to the lip of a 5 gallon plastic bucket. Have a spinning can on a rod out in the center of the bucket. The spinning can is covered with peanut butter. The mouse jumps out on the can - it spins - dumps him into the 6" of water at the bottom of the bucket - he drowns.

This caught about 35 mice for me a couple years ago.

I like the "barn cat" technique better. Nothing to change, refill or dispose of.

The cat takes care of it all.

These are the originals https://www.ebay.com/sch/southern-o...lass!44118!US!-1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562, but there are many fake copies sold that all claim to be original and made in USA. If you read the reviews on the others, they are cheap imitations and many are made in China and are built poorly.

I copied the picture.

We no longer have cats. The 5 gallon bucket contraption works. The "water" needs to be changed frequently.

I prefer using my mouse trapline.
