Peanut Butter.

If you have an ongoing problem and the trap doesn’t catch anything in a week or so, change the PB and move the trap. I find that 90% of the kills are with fresh bait.

A bit of uncooked instant oatmeal, pressed into a small amount of peanut butter.

Also, a small piece of Frito corn chip, stuck to the bait trigger with a dab of peanut butter.

I like to bait the trap with peanut butter then sit in wait with ma thirty ought six rifle, with the night vision scope and oh about hundred or hundred-fifty rounds or copper jacketed hollow points movin about 1250 feet per second. You only have to wing one of the little suckas and he will get the word out to the rest of his little mice buddies.

Liberal democrats. ;)

No, really, peanut butter.

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

cash!

[wolfcreek]

Any recalled product containing peanuts or a peanut bi-product.

[IrishMike]

peanut butter or a piece of fresh banana

[buridan]

Peanut butter on a piece of walnut. Sometimes a mouse can lick off the peanut butter without triggering the trap. With a piece of nut wedged in, they have to chew.

Gubmint cheese.

[TornadoAlley3]

Any high aroma food is a good choice for bait for a mouse trap.....a drop of vanilla, maple or chocolate syrup is good bait so try a tissue or a little cotton ball (use a rubber band to anchor it to a snap trap bait holder). Caramels , jelly beans and tootsie rolls are successful as well as snickers bars and Slim Jim meat sticks.

..several years ago, I had a case of a mouse who was either very brave or stuck on stupid. He would come out in the open, stop sit and watch TV...but as soon as I moved he was gone. I got hold of a kids small play broom and had it within reach, waiting for the next appearance.
He showed up,same routine, and then I attacked....with great speed and agility, I swung, hit my wrist on the end of a coffee table,continued through the delayed pain,and promptly missed the target...by at least a foot. But it( the attack) had a good result. He flew up in the air, and by the time he came down he was either dead or passed out..he wasn't moving. He got a burial at sea.

ROTFL! Did you ever see the movie “Mouse Hunt”? Your story sounds straight out of the movie.

Are you sure the same mouse hasn’t returned?
