I do this in the cellar where no pets will be since my wife freaks out whenever there’s even a single mouse in the house.

In the detached garage and cold storage I use the “rolling log” in a bucket technique since the cats have access and are kept inside when it’s really cold. One is a kit purchased from Amazon like this one, but the rest I’ve 3D printed some bushings that fit into electrical conduit and rotate around an aluminum rod. I’ve found they work better than the spring traps, and I can let a bunch of dead ones float for a long time before I empty it.

There’s a guy on YouTube that buys and tests all sorts of mouse and rat traps - both present day and antique designs. Pretty crazy to see all the ideas that have been built.
