The ultimate mouse bait... organic peanut butter!
This trap caught Fidel four times... and he bounded away each time before I could clap a lid on it.
The trap that worked. Cookware on cookie sheet. I used a partially-broken chopstick (reinforced with a toothpick and tape) as the trigger. Organic peanut butter as bait...
Our cute friend Fidel. A co-worked commented that he looked like a mouse/gerbil hybrid. I released him about a half-mile from our house (and away from other homes).
