That is most excellent! The next time I go home I'm stealing some of those drywall goop buckets from my family (they're always remodeling) and making my own mouse bucket!
You should make a detailed picture explaination of how you made it and get it sticky'd
The bucket was free (got behind a Panera Bread), the hardware cloth and wire was scrap from rat rack, and I will let all know if the chew them self out...
