I like cream cheese because it doesn’t run off as easily as peanut butter, but PB has a better scent. I always wrap some dental floss or pull out a strand of hair and wrap around the bait so their teeth get stuck and it trips the trigger

Pb here too


Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Tootsie roll. Put it into your pocket a minute to soften. Cut it into 1/3s. Mold it onto the pan. Better than PB or anything else for me.

i always thought that and/or a piece of bit-0-honey would work on trigger wires of 110 conibear for big ol barn rats. Preferably on bell triggers of BMI 110.

I really don't think a mouse cares.


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Chocolate chips melted then smeared on the trigger then let it harden and it catches more mice then peanut butter all day. In some special scenarios when I’m trapping in barns wheee there eating feed and they don’t want chocolate I take some of the feed and mix it with peanut butter and the mice love it


PETA is stupid.

I enjoy trapping mice in my shop and barn. Bonus when one makes it into the house.

I like sharp cheddar. I let it sit for a while so it hardens a bit and really stays on the trigger. I want them to tug on the trigger. Sometimes I'll sweeten it up with a dab of peanut butter.

I open up the curled end of the bait holder a little then slide a half piece of nut, preferably cashew or peanut, in.
Rarely they will get the nut out but I look at it as they will be back after one free meal.

Good idea . It's very irritating when they steal the PB and not get snapped. I keep fiddling with the pan settings to make them as sensitive as possible.

I find a peanut wired to a Victor mouse trap is too heavy. I use an in the shell peanut on a Victor rat trap for chipmunks and often catch mice with that setup.
