Next time take a little cotton batting and mix the peanut butter into it.
Bait the trap with this. The fibers will make it more difficult to get the
bait off the trap without tripping it.

So far, he has safely removed peanut butter from conventional mouse
traps on three occasions without tripping them. He ignores various
types of poison bait. The two cats don't have a clue.

So yesterday, I paid $20 for an electronic Victor meecie trap. This
morning, the green light was lit, AHA, success at last!

Bull****, not only was there no carcass, he somehow escaped, despite
the manufacturer's assurance to the contrary. His main residence is
under the kitchen oven; hope he ain't chewing on that wire with its
240V power.

All fruits and paper and cardboard-packaged food is safely put away.
Guess the only thing to do is continue to use the conventional meece
traps and hope that he gets cocky.
