Home made mouse trap

went into the basement this morning and saw a mouse run across the floor.
I have a few of these made so I figured I better get them back up and active

.

.

I use some weed eater string,crappy five gallon bucket and a adult pop can.
try to put a hole dead center threw the pop can run the weed eater string through both holes (can be a pain)
then poke 2 holes in the side of the bucket across from each other
(a paper clip straightened out and heated with a lighter if no drill is handy)
run the string threw the holes on the bucket and just tie a knot on both sides as tight as you can get it. The can needs to spin.
I put about 3-4 inches of water in the bottom of the bucket
Add a few tiny spots all the way around the can and your done.
It does not matter whether the mouse can see the peanut butter or not so don't get to excited about how the can spin's.
To empty the trap just dump in the toilet and flush
