Anyway, I got a trap - just one mind you, and spent about 4 quid
on it, a posh plastic affair, and used chocolate as bait. The
little bug**rs kept taking the chocolate from the trap without
setting it off, that trap never caught a single one!


A mouse will just crouch there, licking away at the
chocolate. Eventually one *might* try to lift the
lump off, and spring the trap, but it doesn't seem
to happen often.

A nice oily roasted peanut seems to attract mice
quite well.

I used to us a bit of bread smeared with sunflower spread and dipped in
sugar as bait for a spring trap. Now I use a humane no-kill trap baited with
a blob of peanut butter. Usually works within a few hours.
