Like the idea of the chocolate, Neil. Usually use peanut butter. But now will switch to chocolate and then I get some too! Hope you're OK. XXOO Nancy What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail? ~~Dr. Robert Schuller Quote | Post #798238 (1)

I use live traps but the 'pet' one is so smart...I put a piece of bridge mix in peanut butter and stick it way down at the end and he will go in and get it and come back out just fine. He is very sweet though and has lived here a long time. It is just the field mice I want and I get them. Woman on the eastbound train ...........................................Je Suis Désolé.

Glad about the teeth, Neil. Just in time for Christmas. we have used popcorn in our traps. Since we don't have animals, I got John to put some d-conn in the basements. Quote | Post #798276 (4)

Yep. Inky is the reason I won't poison and I cannot deal with the snap traps myself so live trapping is the only way. Anyway, I like giving them a little talk after I open the trap and before I let them go. They are pretty cute you know.

An old Gamekeeper taught me about using chocolate buttons or small bits of chocolate on mouse traps as the smell of the cocoa butter and the sugar drives them to come out. He proved it to me when a mouse ran under his cooker and he just set a trap up and put it near it, then within 10 minutes the trap went off as the scent of the chocolate drives them mad.
