    Corn floating in a water bucket works good.


    For traps I use peanut butter

    Joe, I'm a hopin' that was a joke!!! My concept of catch and release is to catch them and release them after pounding them with a hammer until they are the thickness of a crepe!!! :lol::lol: I repeat, they are a peein' and a poopin' on MY TOOLS!!!

    Watch out if the mice get up into the trees. This is where they are most dangerous. In this event, use acorns for bait.

    Use a small bit of uncooked bacon.

    I recall years ago a study was done on the subject. Turns out they like candy best and the top-rated bait in the test was gum drops, specifically yellow ones.

    The upholstery padding of a classic car seems to attract them well.

    Don't forget the wiring of modern cars as well.

    A pinch of fresh bread works better than peanut butter but it needs replaced when it dries out. Peanut butter is better if the traps need to stay set for awhile as it's more odorous than dried out bread.

    I buy a bag of skittles. I?ve found they like green ones the best. So I just eat the other colors.

    Just smoosh em on the pan of the trap so it oozes in between.

    Haven't seen a mouse where it needed to be trapped for decades.

    Another vote for glue traps.
    I always used peanut butter on a spring trap. My Grandma would slightly cook a piece of bacon and tie it on with thread. She swore by her method.
    I've had good luck with Glue Traps.

    Grandma knew best, gearhead. Lightly cooked bacon, securely tied to the trigger bar. Irresistible.

    Mice run along edges for safety. Put traps (spring or glue) right against the wall in a dark place.

    I just put up a sign sorta like the places that don't allow guns that hang the no guns allow signs. Since it works for them it ought to work for me.
