"It was the peanut butter that proved his downfall, M'lud"
http://vps.templar.co.uk/Odd%20stuff/Mouse%20Trap.png Good tip. Nice that he has bled all over the polling card, too. -- €œThere are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isnt true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.€ €”Soren Kierkegaard |

I find that a mouse can nibble peanut butter off the trigger without springing it. A small block of chocolate, firmly attached, works better IME. For me peanut butter works well. If the mouse is not springing the trap then perhaps too much bait is being used. Little balls of cooked mashed potato work better but these tend to dry out within a day at which point they become less effective. I note that on one of the TV reality programs about catching rats the trick was to bait a nail (with peanut butter) a couple of inches up the wall and put the trap on the floor beneath. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

These dogs include a mixed-up labrador lookalike, a collie-alsatian cross (he looked like a huge collie!), a large munsterlander (look it up) and currently two Labradors. The labradors are least likely to actually chase mice or rats but the cats encourage them! -- Chris Green · |
