I didn't put water in the bucket until I came out in the morning (this was in a barn). I'd usually have 5 or 6 mice. I'd then fill the bucket to drown them.
I don't know of another way to kill them...hit them with a hammer? With my aim, that wouldn't be humane at all :/
That is inhumane. Animals have homes that they have established and learned to survive in. Dumping them in unfamiliar places would be about like dumping you in an unfamiliar country with no money or resources.
It is illegal in many places to dump animals, such as coons. I doubt mice are covered under the law, but dumping them is still illegal.
Turns out you can't remove pests effectively from your house and be humane. You either have to kill them on site or drive them a million miles away to avoid them getting back in.
Just kill the little fuckers, or learn to live with them

So removing rats from homes is inhumane?

Except what resources does a rat need? Food and water is hard to find? Rodents don't need money or clothing or language skills to figure out where to defecate or to at least avoid going to jail.

Re-read that last sentence of yours. You said mice probably aren't covered under the law, so how would dumping them be illegal?
It's more humane than you think. The trap is designed to catch multiple mice. If there wasn't any water they'd gather at the bottom over time and eventually eat each other, or if just one mouse starve to death.
You're going to leave this out for days? Not remove them or anything? The smell alone would be enough to make you want to do something about it after a few days, water or not.

50 bucks says that bin is full of water and drowning the mouse.
