Hey yall hope everyone is well, I work for a farm in my area its a larger farm for here 3000 acres agricultural land, we grow celery corn peppers and so on, any way at the grain storage area we have a large mouse problem, they were poisoning before I got there, I asked them to stop using poison and to let me take care of it. Now I have to succeed can any one help with methods to catch lots of mice?I also am planning on freezing and grinding them all after I get enough.

Google rolling mouse trap. Cheap to make,and catches multiple mice in one night. Best night I had with one is 17

I think dbooth is talking about a bucket trap we make them all the time beer can on a piece of wire over top of bucket put water in bucket for mice to drown works great

Go back to the rodenticides, save yourself the headache!

Make a bunch of these then the mice are good for bait I hate poison!

Shawn Woods has tested about a million mouse traps on YouTube and I doubt any are better than that rolling log over bucket one. Make me wish I had mice.

What do you like for bait/lure for the bucket traps?

peanut butter

This works great!

Law Dog is right these work great. Got almost 2 gallons of mice in the last month running two of them.

I've never seen a trap like that. Cool.

Swedish mouse trap is another name for the 5 gal bucket trap when you Google or utube it

they work great for me

Thank you everyone I will try the rolling trap I will be targeting canines cats and beaver mostly. But would love to get a weasel. And a skunk never had either.

I have been doing some damage control and I've got 9 ground hogs 3 muskrat and 2 beaver, we have permit for rats and groundhogs. I froze all whole imeditly for bait.

How do I trap them live can I use the bucket with no water?

I also hate poison wen they use it there's a lot of dead cats then sick and dead yotes and so on, these grain silos are in a field basically and are hunted hard by all predators as soon as the sun goes down

Law Dog MGGC where do you get those?

You don't have secondary poisoning if your using the right rodenticides legally! If your looking for bait to use
I see why you would want to trap them but if you want to actually control and maintain a low population for the farmer then
Rodenticides are the way to go.

I understand what yall are saying ,I don't no what poison was used before I got there. I'm just hoping to take as many as I can now when the silos are low and its not a big deal at harvest time ill have to use poison I reckon. But want to make as much fresh ground mice as I can along with ground hog.

Why would you want that Zach?

Not sure I've seen that before. Would you mind describing construction and baiting?

Good old fashion funnel minnow trap with crackers inside, I've caught up to a quart in one trap. Will catch many more than a tin cat. Plus you can catch fish bait when your not using them for mice.
