I baited them with peanut butter, and the little *******s lick them
clean every night! I don't know how they do it. I've tested the
traps and they all have hair triggers. They usually go off when I'm
just setting them down.

What should I bait them with that will cause the little pricks to have
to work at it?

Peanut butter is my weapon of choice. I tie a tiny piece of cotton
thread to the trigger. Greedy *******s won't leave until they get
every last bit of flavor-- after one application, the string is good
for about a week's worth of catching.
