Use peanut butter...if the mouse is fast enough it can grab other stuff lightly or fast and get away...but the sticky peanut butter makes them paw at it al lick it off...pushing on the trigger...happy hunting!

Peanut butter is the best...but those mice are smart little things. I've had them to munch all the peanut butter off without popping the trap. Put a LOT of PB on the metal part of trap, (where the cheese is suppose to be)...the deeper you put it on there, the longer they'll linger in it...and accidently get caught. BE CAREFUL! ..LOAD ALL PB FIRST then set trap...if humans touch those traps, they snap! I hid mine amongst my can goods..stacked cans 2 and 3 high all around the trap...mouse would be careful eating but if he bumped can around him can fell and sprung trap. Those glue traps work good along the walls where they tend to "run around" the house...BUT they only work with the "babies"..and you can hear them crying..just remember ...they'll get bigger if you dont get 'em! Good luck!

I sprinkle flour on the trap. Works every time, and any mess can be swept up easily. Bacon, cheese and peanut butter are all greasy. Mice can't carry off the bait, either, have to sit there to get it. Works for me.

the one and only thing to put on mouse traps is peanut butter. there is also mouse killer bars flavored like peanut butter you can buy at farm supply stores. they sell it because the farmers live in the middle of farm fields and need it bad

glue traps work the best...........put a little chocolate on it.........you have to check up on the traps every once in a while or the mice can end up chewing their own legs off

I have found that they love peanut butter, and they can't snatch it, they have to lick , this gives trap more time to catch them, UGH! but it works, they also like bacon, we use these at work and have had success. Good Luck!

Bacon rind. They will have to pull hard to release it and therefore set off the trap.
