I was cleaning out the garage the other day and discovered, completely by accident, a new way to catch mice. I had a piece of 4" PVC drain pipe about 15" long standing on end beside a large plastic trash can with a lid.
For some reason mice like to chew on plastic and they must have been able to climb up the outside of the trash can or, more likely, the wall beside the can. Once on the can they could hop onto the top end of the PVC pipe. If they fell inside the pipe, as two of them did, they couldn't climb back out and it was apparently too heavy to crawl under.
