Since we're on the subject of Mice damage.....
.
i found a perfect bait
....couldn't find my old thread
so i'll post the solution again....
they cannot resist peanut butter
but they just lick it off the trap trigger quite easily
without springing the trap.....

so i use pistachio nuts and slide the edge of the shell
into the curl of the metal trap trigger so it cannot
be taken off PERIOD unless they grab the whole nut
and try to twist it off out of desperation/frustration

i cover the nut in peanut butter to get them there
they feed and then become obsessed with the pistachio nut.

i would calculate that my catch rate is 99 percent.
other wise buy the more expensive metal trap
that's set up like a lobster pot easy to get in
with no way out as they catch 4-8 even without BAIT!

they work so well they are almost a pain in the arse
always mice in them....dried up with fresh mice inside too.
