I use peanut butter.

It sticks to the trap mechanisms and the mouse feet stick in it an help activate the mechanism.

Mice always swipe the cheese when I use cheese. Cheese is too easy.

The wheel of death is brilliant. (Odd choice of words).

My sure fire method is a regular mouse trap and raisins.

1. Put a raisin in the trap but don't set it.
2. When the raisin is gone, replace it but don't set the trap.
3. Repeat step #2.
4. When the raisin is gone, the mouse is fearless of the trap. Replace raisin and set the trap.
5. Dispose of mouse corpse.

Mine works very well, though it is funnest on squirrels. Plenty of juice to stiffen them out.

Wheel of Death? Rat Zappers!? This thread is becoming to violent for me, but then some of my best friends are rodents.

When we had cats, they were lazy. They didnt chase anything.

Califiddler · May 3rd, 2012, 11:14 AM

We had a mouse recently. Cheese didn't work, but one of those mini-marshmallows that you put in hot chocolate worked great.

roadkillbill · May 3rd, 2012, 11:34 AM

Mouse bait.

Dogs chase things, cats wait.

Very patiently.

They lie in wait. Like a trap.

And then ...

No mouses.

Mine like Mars bars caught 12 in a week. They didn't like Snickers as much.

getbent · May 3rd, 2012, 12:28 PM

always had good luck with peanut butter... but, (this is a timely thread) my friend was NOT catching her mouse with peanut butter and I mentioned it at a meeting and my brilliant, young scholar said something aloud in german and I asked for the translation and he said, "it is said that a mouse can be caught with a piece of bacon"

My friend wrapped a little raw bacon around the trap mechanism and... 2 hours later... a mouse....

Hail to the pig! all hail all hail!

choupique · May 3rd, 2012, 12:42 PM

I seem to be having more than my share of mice in my house. Over the years I have used almost all the above mentioned baits it seems with diminishing results. I recently discovered a very effective bait, Maytag Blue Cheese made in Newton, Iowa, USA. It is really stinky but when it comes to Blue Cheese, the stinkier the better.

mindlobster · May 3rd, 2012, 01:18 PM

+1 for peanut butter. Used it recently to lethal effect. Also, I think flour is supposed to work???

boris bubbanov · May 3rd, 2012, 03:03 PM

Well, those glue traps don't seem to work.

The mouse got free, and then lasted a week before dying of exactly what I don't know. Just dumb luck that it came to its final rest right where I could find it.

McGlamRock · May 3rd, 2012, 03:17 PM

I caught the rat in my house with peanut butter and raw bacon; took two days but I got him!
