I'm afraid it is enough to attract the kids to jump in and chase the mouse!

Apart from anything else, I am impressed to see how many British cylinders (Edison-Bell, Clarion, Sterling) have found their way to Brazil!

I don't think a mouse would be a deterrent, but a mousetrap might ;) .

A tarantula would be a better choice.
