What you need is a bucket, a wine bottle, an old sock and a lump of cheese.

You half fill the bucket with water.
Pull the sock over the thick end of the bottle until it gets to the start of the narrowing for the neck.
Stuff the hunk of cheese into the neck of the bottle.
Now you put the bottle over the bucket so that the sock ends over the water, generally you'd sit the bottle in a tree.

The mice crawl along the sock to get the cheese, when they hit the bare glass they fall into the water and then have a "nap".

We made these when we were on the farm during the mouse plagues and there would often only be about 2 inches of empty space in the top of the bucket in the morning.

I'll add that you should add dishwashing liquid to the water as well, kills them faster as it gets rid of the air that catches in their fur. Smile

My step grandfather up in Bilo, when they had the plague of mice last year, just had a heap of those traps that once they crawl in, they can't crawl out of, (yep, peanut butter lure as well), then he just dumped the contents the next day into the bucket of soapy water.
