RARE DROWNING TYPE MOUSE TRAP. THIS TRAP HAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE MECHANISM – THE MOUSE ENTERS INTO THE BAITED CHAMBER, THE DOOR SHUTS BEHIND THE MOUSE. THE TRAPPED MOUSE THEN CLIMBS UP THE TUBE STEPS OUT ON TO WHAT IT THINKS IS A LEDGE, AND FALLS INTO THE BUCKET WHICH CAN BE FILLED WITH WATER. WHEN THE MOUSE FALLS INTO THE BUCKET PORTION, THE TRAP RESETS, AND THE DOOR OPENS FOR THE NEXT VICTIM. THIS TRAP APPEARS TO BE FULLY FUNCTIONAL.
