What Kind of Bait Do I Use in Mouse Traps?
Vermin, such as mice, are unwanted pests we all can live without. Mice breed and produce many young in a short period of time. As well as leaving droppings everywhere, mice carry disease and bacteria that can make you physically ill. Ridding your house of vermin is easy, using a bait that mice can't resist. Does this Spark an idea?
-
Peanut Butter
-
Place 1/2 tsp. peanut butter on the mouse trap of choice. Mice love peanut butter and will flock to your trap.
Bread
-
Cut a chunk of stale bread--a favorite when it comes to mice. Just a 1/2-inch square piece may be set in the trap and placed behind your cook stove, refrigerator and anywhere that mice have been seen or wherever you have seen their droppings.
-
Cheese
-
Use a small piece of aged or cheddar cheese in your mouse trap to attract mice and kill them, one mouse at a time.
Peanuts
-
Try using a large Spanish peanut to attract mice to your trap. Mice love nuts and will keep coming back for more.
Dried Fruit
-
Place some dried fruit such as apricots, plums, peaches or pineapple in your mouse trap. Mice are attracted to your trap by the smell of the fruit.
