Mousetrap bait

[gorilla]

Bought the trap.

What do I use as bait ?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

grain based products are supposed to work best- not cheese apparently.

I use peanut butter myself. If you use something more solid, make sure to thread it onto the trap, don't just place it on there.

Mice a little Indiana jones bastards if you don't stick it right on there you'lll just wake up in the morning with a bunch on traps that haven't gone off but are cleaned out!

Melted cheese always works for me.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Pumpkin seeds or Peanut butter.

A cat

 

[Gas Panic!]

Peanut butter works a treat.

We stayed in a place in the country a few weeks back, we caught 3 mice with a trap like this with one small piece of cheddar

Peanut butter

peanut butter or melt some chocolate onto the trap

OK, I'll give the PB another go - I used PB on a piece of cheese without any luck. Mo action.

The little bugger took a piece of toast off it and then a piece of stale bread was nibbled at.

I keep trying to keep the trap trigger-ready so it's hard to catch.

The PB straight on the trigger plate will be next try.

When I lived in Orange and there was a minor plague, almost anything would work.

Get the stuff they little fuggers walk onto and get stuck on

Works every time

Mice will eat ceiling insulation and the insulation off your electrical cables.

In other words, they will eat anything.

 

[abpanther]

Anything sweet, carrots dont work

 

[Cupid Stunt]

Nut butter for sure.

OK, putting it on no ... SNAP/OUCH ... ow.
