If drowning offends your delicate sensibilities, leave the bucket empty or make yourself some little punji sticks to go in the bottom.
When I was a kid our house was infested with mice. My uncle came to the house with his special rat poison which was cornmeal and cement. The mice would eat the mixture and of course eventually drink water. You know the rest.

I wonder what would happen if I mix oatmeal with cement and leave it in Wal-Mart for everyone to buy?

The concrete completely absorbed all moisture in their bodies so it was like mummification so there was no smell.
Why just kill them and not use the little buggers?
Here is a good recipe of rat stew. Delicious!
rats, about 3 pounds, cut up
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped celery
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
1 bay leaf
4 cups water
4 cups dry red wine
2 cups diced carrots
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
4 ounces sliced mushrooms, sauteed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup water
Dredge rat pieces with 1/2 cup flour. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat; brown rat pieces on all sides. Add celery, onion, salt, pepper, bay leaf, 4 cups water, and wine; bring to the boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and simmer rat stew for 2 hours. Add carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms; cook for about 25 to 30 minutes longer, or until vegetables are tender. Combine 1/4 cup flour and 1/3 cup water; stir until well blended and smooth. Stir flour mixture into the broth; cook and stir until thickened.
Enjoy!

Originally posted by Hand of HecateI dont get it either. It also sounds rather impossible that a mouse gets totaly cemented up from nose to tail. It sounds more reasonable to me that the cement would from a block in the mouse its stomach and rest of the digestion organs. This would turn out to be fatal, but in my opnion alot of tissue would not get hard and will rott.
