Any Ideas for Catching Mice?

[week 71]

Woke up the other morning with my better half screaming, ran into the kitchen and she was on her hands and knees on the kitchen counter due to Mickey.

I have taken two down so far. I used peanut butter and Nutella to bait them. Maybe that is all, but need to be sure.

The mice that previously resided in my house skipped everything in the pantry and went whole hog on the salted sunflower seeds every time (in shell).

That's what I bait my traps with great success.

There are so many mouse trap videos on you tube. Great entertainment. A more important issue is trying to find out how they are getting in.

LOL! But I am a dog person.

I read the pests do like nuts and seeds.

I know many people swear by peanut butter for mouse traps, but I seen mice lick it right off without springing the trap. I’m old school, smashing a bit of sharp cheddar on the bait piece.

It sounds like you have it under control, how did they get in though?

Empty aerosol can with a rod driven through top to bottom suspended across the top of a 5 gallon bucket with a few inches of water in it and a ramp up to the can. Smear some peanut butter on the can.

Find the source of their entry into your home.

Peanut butter in the trap...
Except for one in my study who runs back and forth on occasion...
He doesn’t bother me... I don’t bother him...

The wife is a prolific mouse trapper...

[right way right]

20 victor spring traps for $10 Amazon.
I use peanut butter but, if the traps are being robbed, raw bacon sticks on the trigger better.
Adjust the trigger by bending to give it a hair trigger.

I am amazed at how they can rob traps like they do.

We actually got one of these sonic devices for getting rid of mice and other pests, takes a few weeks to work but it did work and it’s been years now without them being back.

Any kind of trap and peanut butter.
Live trap or other,
They can't resist peanut butter.

I have no idea. My house is 100 years old so points of entry are legion.

Peanut butter works great too .

@ 25 - Really? I’ll try it.
