A raisin, crushed onto the bait pan. They can't lick it off, and if you've
mashed it on there hard enough, they can't tug it off, either.


Mash up some white bread with a little p.b. and mold it to the trigger
on the spring trap.



Pfffft. Too much work. Use a raisin.



Don't re-use traps.



Pffffft. Doesn't make any difference, unless there's blood on it.



Mice carry diseases. Urine and droppings can spread disease. Traps are
cheap.
