We've had mice staying over Christmas.I've tried traps with cheese,but the traps go off with out catching the lil beggars.They might not try the traps now so what would be the best thing to put on there.|I don't really want to put poison down unless I have to as we have a dog in the house(not that hes' much ghelp...lol)
Thanks

| We had mice and put down some humane traps - black boxes that tilt up when mouse enters so you can release them away (a long way, or they come back) from your house. You can pick them up from any decent hardware store. As for bait, mice love kitkat. |

I realize this is an old post, but I used to have the same problem. I use peanut butter as bait, which they love, but they would lick it off the metal trigger of the trap without springing it. Solution was a very small piece of string run through the trigger and tied in a loop about 3/8 inch diameter. Peanut butter smooshed on the string. It gets into the threads of the string, they use their teeth, give it a little tug... SNAP! |
