I had a huge mouse problem a few years ago. I put a bucket in the hallway, half full of water with sunflower seeds floating on the water. For about five nights I would find several drowned mice. I can't remember for sure how many, but it seems like it was as many as 14 one night. This worked great for about five nights, then it didn't work any more. Did they figure it out and then warn their buddies. I still had mice, but the mouse trap didn't work any more. Maybe mice are smarter than we think.

I do well indoors with a Victor plastic spring rat trap, and I press peanut butter down into the bait well until it is only flush with the top. You can leave them out baited without the trap set to condition them to coming for the food, but I get them right away without that. I also just discard a trap with the rat. I don't reuse them. I wonder if this swinging trap made for a larger bucket or small barrel, with water, would work for you. I wonder if polishing the aluminum disc or inside of the barrel with spray shortening would help. good luck!
