I am supposed to be a trapper and can't even catch a mouse. I have seen him go from the kitchen to the den 3 times and me nor the cat, who catches mice all the time outside, can't get him. He won't eat cheese, peanut butter or cat food and he won't step in a glue trap. Confusing.....

Just set a couple of snap traps along its pathway along the wall. Put the traps perpendicular to the wall. If it's not staying close to the wall just use some boxes as drift fencing to guide it into the traps, by the wall.

Light coat of bacon grease on the pan.

I'd recommend a .22, Long Rifle or Magnum. Just have to catch him sitting still for a few seconds

Maybe a bit of pre-baiting?

Years ago I posted my tribulations over catching a mouse I named Einstein. I never did catch him, though I tried every trap and trick suggested here.

But maybe that was on a prior incarnation of the forum.

Good luck.

hahaha

Tie a little piece of bacon to the pan everything likes bacon works for me

For the really intelligent ones- I use a 400-year-old design- the Mascall Trap... that I over engineered.

They still sell the .22 shotshells, works great!

If peanut butter doesn't work try some melted chocolate on the pan..read it somewhere and tried it, it works and doesn't go bad or dry out.

Dart Gun is always fun

If a location is good enough for 1 glue trap it good enough for 3-4. You have his location he's using, block the heck out of it.

Buy the flat glue traps NOT the ones poured in a plastic trap
they go aroundthose often

It sure does, unfortunately for me there was a big pan of homemade fudge involved in the learning process.

I put a few drops of chocolate syrup in that bait pocket of the yellow pans. It will harden up and is almost a permanent bait. will eventually need rebaited if you don't check regularly.

We have some double door live traps that work good.
