What is your most successful mouse trap bait????

[superloopy]

Help me!! I'm desperate.... We have a horrid little rogue mouse in our house and I cannot seem to kill it.

I have been setting traps but nothing seems to tempt it, chocolate, cheese, ham, salami, bread.... I am at the stage where I would be willing to bake the little fucker a cake if I knew it would do the job!!

I have also filled in as many holes/gaps as I can find with wire wool and expanding foam. Bought a plug in mouse repeller. 2 poisonous bait traps are stashed about the place too. I have disinfected every bloody surface and hoover after every meal. I even hoovered my toaster out!!

I don't want a cat as that would be another unwanted creature in my house. I also don't want any humane suggestions to trap and release, I want a dead mouse!!

Thank you for reading my rant!! [smile}]

i'm in the same situation at the moment. i caught one at the weekend with a frosted shreddie

mars bars, sticks well to the trap and seems to be irresistable to them

peanut butter
chocolate cake

'bake the little fucker a cake'

PMSL

Cherry tomatoes - mice and rodents are often thirsty and will smell the tomatoes from quite a distance

I'm a wealth of useless information!!! LOL

Thank you all so much!!

All my traps lined up are going to be like a mouse tapas bar!!

You may not get rid of your mice - but they'll be bloody well fed! LOL

Rolos or a piece of mars bar.

My grandmother swore by chocolate coated cheese - it worked, honest!

We had this problem for SO long, kept seeing them about the place had pest control in three times. On the third visit they gave us these sticky pads which you lay where you think they run. We caught three in one night and havent seen them since. It isnt nice because they are still alive but when you get that desperate its worth a try.

A raisin smeared in peanut butter

cadburys turkish delight i.e. the one covered in chocolate

Marmite on toast. Is it taking the bait off the traps, or just ignoring it? If the bait is disappearing, try a toffee, or a chocolate eclair, and make sure it's really well stuck on.

I thought this was about the troll this afternoon until I opened the thread . Afraid I have no answer to theactual question.

Smooth peanut butter works for me.

Slice of banana

I used jam smothered on a bit of cheese, on a standard style snap trap. I also covered the bit of the trap that the mouse will put its feet on with double sided tape. Similar idea to the sticky floor pads but no live mice to deal with.

Mars bars

Mars bar or my neighbour told me Nutella is great
