I used peanut butter on a regular mouse trap and they would lick it off without setting the trap. My suggestion would be to smash cheese on the trigger of the trap. Just use a reg mouse trap and check it daily, then you will be done. I would also suggest placing several traps next to each wall of your garage to catch any other perpetrators. Place it bait side towards the wall. There usually is more than one. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

If you can be sure to keep it locked inside the car or trunk away from pets/kids, don't forget the glued peanuts on the log-roller/bucket of antifreeze trap posted here before..
I believe you can leave it unattended for the season since the antifreeze pickles the caught critters?.

I've found that the peanut butter only works once it's old. When used fresh the little buggers more often than not get a full belly and leave you hanging.

If you take a fruit strip and cut it into small rectangles, these can easily be clamped into most mouse traps. When the mice go for a snack they need to tug on the fruit strip and bingo, one less critter to worry about.

Traps are the only way to go!!!

I saw the antifreeze trap looks nice. In the trunk is a good idea!!!!!!!!

It scares me a little because of the dogs. I had a Rott that I think got into some antifreeze a couple of years ago and had to put her down.

I think Rick had a dog last year that got into coolant.

Seen Verminators that show is awesome!!!!!

Using sewing thread, tie a small piece of bacon to a standard spring type trap. It will work.

I have heard that a simple bucket of water with a wire across the top and a small piece of wood that the wire runs through in the middle with some peanut butter on it and a ramp up the side of the bucket,they climb up and get on the piece of wood and when it spins they fall into the bucket and drowned.

we use it at work and its great. light flashes when its zaps one an you just pick it up and dump it out in the trash. Place more bait (which comes with it) in it turn it on and your ready to go again.

Not good if you have small pets though as it will also get rid of Mongooses as well https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Maybe I could get rid of the better half's cat with that thing.

If the lousy cat was doing it's job I wouldn't be in this mess!!
