That is very very expensive.
Go to youtube.com , search for 'bucket mouse trap'
Put a piece of metal and a microswitch at the bottom of the bucket,
connect to raspberry GPIO,
write some simple script to test the switch and send data with netcat anywhere.
Alarm beeper on a GPIO out if must be.
< 10$ IF you already have a raspi.
