I'm cheating...I bought the Drop in the bucket mice catcher from the hardware store, although I'm gonna try to make me one too..right now I'm having a hard time finding a bucket. I saw on youtube where they used pvc but any suggestions on what kind of can to use? You would have to be able to drill a hole in both ends so one end must have a lid, I"m guessing.Does the can spin freely?
We have to figure out how to keep the can in the center of the wire.
One idea i have is if your wire is thin enough you could press a couple split-shot (those led weights you use on your fishing line) on each end of the can to keep it from walking out of center.
i got 2 in my bucket i keep in the garage.
