Mouse prevention
About a 4 or 5 inch plastic (non-conductive) pedestal in a pie tin. About an inch of water in the tin, and a galvanized nail in the top of the pedestal with the bait attached (peanut butter is the best bait, cause they gotta lick and lick).
Then attach the neutral from an extension cord to the tin, and the hot conductor to the nail. It won't draw 15 amps and trip when the little SOBs complete the circuit. Just keep your kids and pets clear. :wack:
