Bruce,
This is how I build my mouse traps.
I have been setting up traps for mice in the GMC's storage shed for the last two weeks.[/color]

> I than hooked up a board that would pivot and drop the mouse into the bucket.

> As of a week ago Monday I started to use the old snap type mouse trap, four with peanut
> butter and two with cotton. After a week I had killed 18 mice with the snap
> traps and found four dead mice from poison that had been put out a month ago.
> The cotton traps seemed to work far better than the peanut butter as mice were able to
> sometimes eat the peanut butter without springing the traps.
> I would like to thank the member who had suggested the use of nesting material in the traps
