Re: O/T Explain water bucket mouse trap
I put Coca Cola in a couple of dishes under my walnut tree.
No more rats or mice since. Coca Cola won’t hurt dogs or cats since they can burp. |

Re: O/T Explain water bucket mouse trap
This sounds like it works fine if you like disposing of dead mice... I don't.
Put mothballs under and around and you'll never see the mice. You will have to replace the mothballs periodically as they evaporate. fearless |

Re: O/T Explain water bucket mouse trap
From Google:
"Mice are breeding machines. They have a gestating period of 19 to 21 days. A female mouse gets pregnant about 5 to 10 times each year and can give birth to a litter of 3 to 14 pups. On average, the litter size ranges from 6 to 8 pups." So if I did my math correctly, using the average values, a single female mouse could give rise to 16,000 mice in a year.

Re: O/T Explain water bucket mouse trap
Don’t use antifreeze, dogs and cats love it and it will kill them. If you live where it freezes put about 6” of water in the bucket and 2 or 3 cups of salt, this will stop it from freezing and it stops the mice from decomposing if their left in there for any length of time.

Re: O/T Explain water bucket mouse trap
Have to say the bucket trap works a treat. Been noticing a field mouse enjoying the leftovers from my wife's bird feeder out back. Afraid he might find his way into the house, I set one up. Took a couple days for him to "fall" for it. Trotted him across the road and dumped him in the copse where all the feral cats hang out. Doubt he'll be back. (Kitty, kitty.)
