I am looking to buy a few colony traps to clean out some mice in a barn. What is your favorite trap/traps?

Minnow traps set along mice runways will catch plenty-they are like a colony trap for mice.
Buckets will catch lots also.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I have tried the minnow trap but they eat my bait and escape.

I wouldn't think screen minnow traps would work at all for mice, for the simple reason that they are such good climbers and they have nothing better to do in the trap then climb around...till they find the hole. Boco, do you mean the plastic/glass ones?
I'm happy with the good ol' wind-up Ketch-all; large and not terribly durable, but it do catch 'em! I think Tin Cats (or their copies) are the best overall.

The tin cats are my first choice, the wind ups second. I'm always watching for the older wind ups with out the plastic parts that break when I drop them. The windups have a big enough opening to catch the wood rats we have around here.

I would never be able to take a wonderful picture of all those mice in a couple of Tin Cats; congratulations Mike.

My pictures are of a lot of tails and feet and one very, very, large mouse.
