Something like this is easy to do

The white board isn't attached to anything. When the mouse gets near the peanut butter, the board tips in. Uncle would grease up the sides of his bucket and have enough water where they had to tread water or drown. Eventually they tire out and drown. He'd check the trap every week and dump the bodies out, but his had a light spring that would reset the board.

    That's basically what I made, but it had a tunnel over it to stop the mice from jumping sideways when the trap activated.

    And I put a few bolts on the back of the tipper part so it wouldn't trip too early, and the weight of the bolts also helped it reset itself once the mice had fallen. Simple, and effective.
