Since the weather turned cooler, Ive had an influx of field mice into the
house. They have been munching on the cereals that my wife stores in the
cupboard under the stairs.
Now I have been setting traps for the last two weeks and got Zilch.
Watched
the Grime fighters the other night and saw the pest control guy used
Chocolate Spread to bait his traps, tried it last night, caught 2 of the
little buggers. Apparently Peanut Butter is good as well. )


Mouses love fat (especially at this time of year when they're trying to put
weight on for the worst of the winter). Anything with plenty of fat will
catch them. I use bacon rind (when I don't hard fry it till it pops for the
best "pork scratchings" for myself, try it, you'll love it) but as you saw,
chocolate spread, peanut butter, lard, just about anything with lots of
calories in it will work.
