I also have an old farm house and it sets empty a good share of the winter. I have three of the 5 gallon mouse traps. So far this year I have only caught five. Last year was a total of 13 and the year previous 17. Think I'm thinning the herd!

Google 5 gallon mouse trap and you will find several videos on making them.

The most humane is to use automotive antifreeze but then you have a problem disposing of the dead mice so other animals don't get hurt.

I have used tap water but if left setting too long they will get to stinking!

Currently I am using RV Antifreeze. Buy it off season and you can get it pretty cheap.

My nephew made a modified bucket. He installed the axle further down in the bucket, drilled a mouse sized hole in the side and then put the top back on. He uses this under he trailer house and other critters do not get into it.

Good Luck

Jack
