Bottle Mousetrap with Catch

See the original 'Bottle mouse trap' by mkuiper for details to the original design. I like the concept of this design for several reasons. It's so simple. There are no springs, rubber-bands, or other engines that would create finger hazards. It's a catch and release style trap. And, it works. Within hours we had our first catch.

Not to start a little friendly Australia-vs-United States banter between mice, but the American mouse outsmarted the original trap within a few hours. It actually lifted the lid to escape. I checked the trap hours after setting it, only to find that the bait was gone, droppings were left, and the trap door was in the down position.

After a couple iterations (Fails. - We tried upending the bottle off a ramp - had to modify the T-Bar and design a retaining bracket to hold the T-Bar to the ramp), my daughter and I designed the catch mechanisms and the adjustments to the lid and bottle adapter. Only one catch is required, but I like symmetry and redundancy. P
