5-Gal. Pail Mouse Trap
 ✖  |
This is not a new way to make a mousetrap but it's a good one. You need a 5-gal. pail, plastic water bottle, a metal rod, peanut butter, water and five minutes of time. Heat the metal rod to melt holes near the top of the pail and through the ends of the plastic bottle. Slip the bottle onto the rod and through the holes in the pail. Put dabs of peanut butter on the bottle and about 2 in. of water in the pail. Place next to a wall or anywhere mice can climb to reach the top of the pail. When they go for the peanut butter, they'll fall into the water. To empty, just dump the dead mice out. In cold weather, add anti-freeze to the water. (Erv Boehm, Minneapolis, Minn.)
