What I do is superglue mouse bait to the triggers of, say, Victor Quick
Set Mouse Traps. I have very few false trips, and I usually get one or
two dozen mice before I have to rebait the traps. When I say "mouse
bait", I mean the greenish kind that contains warfarin and is available
in small sacks containing cylinders 3/16" in diameter by 1/2" long. I
usually glue two such pieces to the trigger.

Back in the day, My grandfather would use sewing thread wrapped around
cheese/trigger. Multiple wraps and the bait stayed on the snap trap.

That was for giant "rats ingenious". Even a mouse couldn't get past
the thread without a snap on the neck.

er, pat on the back........
