Don't bother with the cat....I have one and it just watches the mice run across the floor with a look on his face as if to say: "Get that, will you"...
We do use peanut butter -plus- a little bit of jelly candy stuck in the peanut butter. We also tie the trap to the drain pipe under the sink (that's were they end up) so they can't take off with the trap. Hope this helps.... |
We use the electronic ones. We call them the electric chair. They work great. Just put about 1/2 tsp of peanut butter in it and we catch them pretty quick. On Monday I was chasing a mouse around our house with the broom until 1 am. I finally broke the broom. Woke up and he had been given the death penalty. Good luck.

We had them here one year and we did the traps and all but only until I got an exterminator out here they were gone.
He put out some bait blocks and told me that the dogs could eat them but the vitamins in their dog food keeps the ingredients inactive for them. He was right, my Pommie used one for a chew toy and he lived to tell about it. Just call them up and in less than a week you will not have any mice for a long time!! Billy |
give it a name and a list of household chores to do. that should make it run for the hills. :wink:

I recently had a mouse in the house. After I cornered it in our back room, I kept the door closed so it couldn't get back into the rest of the house. Here is the trick to try. Mice run mostly along the wall. I used three mouse traps with peanut butter. I put two traps end to end along the wall where it was traveling. The third one along side the other two. When the trap snaps the mouse sometimes jump and miss getting caught. with three traps close together they jump and get caught in one of the other. My mouse set all three traps off but i still caught him in one of them. At the same time, my daughter had a Norway rat get into her garage. It got into her two month old car and chewed all the wires. Very big expense. Stick traps won't work for rats unless you are right there when they get stuck. They are to big for the sticky traps and can work themselves free. They were also lucky to get the rat before it did any more damage or get into the house. Good lucky and happy hunting those nasty things.

WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MICE EATING THE BAIT, AND GOING THEIR MERRY WAY. I CALLED AN EXTERMINATOR, AND SHE TOLD ME TO BAIT THE TRAPS WITH A PIECE OF APPLE, LEAVE THE SKIN ON, AND A LITTLE PEANUT BUTTER ON THE APPLE. IT WORKED!!!!
GOOD LUCK, MOUSELESS |
much to my embarressment-my husband told the story of me going to bed with him before we were married.(back in 1950)....he was sick & bedridden for a while...one day I trapped a mousie in a hi-top shoe...his Mother pooh-pooed the ideal....& turned the shoe over-out comes mousie, she jumps onto a chair...I jumped onto the bed...of course that was not a part of the story he told...but it now is just a good laugh to think of it.
