Default What bait to use in mousetraps?

I've had no mouse activity this Fall/Winter, then all of the sudden
within the last week there's poop everywhere.

I've put traps out. I have 2 kinds: spring traps, and the kind that
squeeze the mouse until he suffocates (my favorite).

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?


Just my two cents but I have been using Ramik Bars. It looks like small
molding and you just break off pieces and throw them around and my dogs do
not try to eat them. How I first learned of this product, I had used some
and put the remaining bait in a 1 gal plastic container and put that
container in a 5 gal plastic container and the next day the mice ate through
both containers to get to the bait.
