I think you would still have to feed them when fresh unless its cold in there.

Cappy, our detached garage is definitely cold!!!

Hey Sexy Sammy... wanna make some for me ::: eyebrow wiggle :::

All you need to do is have a board leaning against a bucket. You can even live trap if you want, just put feed in the bottom. Too deep to jump out of a 5 gallon bucket.

Well, it definitely looks like something more viable for our detached garage, rather than trying to set 10 traps and checking them every morning and night.

The trick is to barely cover the water with grain so the mice think they are jumping into a bucket of grain. Well low and behold there's water under the grain. Guess what mice can't swim forever.

We have 4 of the snap traps we HAD BEEN using in our attached garage... up until DH kinda got tired of having to empty them every morning... AND the damn dogs stomped on while running around and acting like the little heathens they are and broke them! I gotta find the top pieces to a couple of them and reset them.

Again... I don't *DO* mice....

I can send you a picture of what it looks like. It's very simple

We've tried an open bucket of grain (a bag that was expired). Didn't catch a damn thing.

Cuz you need peanut butter to smell like heaven is in the bucket. Plus if you don't have the water they can jump out

But did you put a board up to it, and how deep was the bucket? They are pretty good jumpers!

Heck, i used to catch mice by the tail and throw them in the buckets! Now rats are another story!
