I have made mouse traps out of five gallon buckets, and a tin can on a wire

mouse steps out on it, it spins and dumps the mouse in the water.

I have been fighting squirrels all spring. Tomorrow a king size version
goes up, and we'll see how the squirrels do. Going to get two more for
other positions on my property.

Will keep you posted.

Yesterday a squirrel put his foot on the electrical wire that protects
the vegetable garden. He flipped back 5 feet and scolded the wire. He
then cautiously jumped onto the fence between two electrical wires and
touched the top electrical wire. That zapped him and retreated up a
large tree. The Hav-A-Hart trap works too.
