Ok here I go, I don't have any pic's but it's really simple...............................
Get a 5 gal bucket no lid required and drill 2 small holes opposite each other into the side right near the the top, cut the top and bottom out of a small to med sized can, insert a dowel rod or any smoothe wooden stick into one hole run it through the can and into the other hole. Fill the bucket 1/3 to halfway with water, smear a teaspoon of peanut butter on the can, lean a small board up against the bucket near the rod.
Ok the mouse climbs up the board and along the dowel rod to the bait=can smeared peanut butter and can't hold on because the can will roll and he falls into the water where he does the Michael Phelps till he succumbs and drowns. I have caught a bunch every night until they are all gone, and just rig it up every now and then more in the winter when they seek shelter in the coops. It really works great and trouble free with no poisons.

Great idea!
However would it work for sewer rats? Or would I need to get a bigger bucket? Those are the problematic pests I have in the fall, winter and early spring months. Poison baits can only go so far but many times they would bypass the poison and dig under the coop to get into the run, therefore, a buffet dinner.
