We caught ten mice in the house this past winter using bird seed and Tomkat traps. There is most likely one left my husband calls “Junior.” I have not tried trapping Jr. l ately as hubby thinks of it as a pet. I want it dead. Trap out next week.
Based on my experience, get the Victor traps with the metal catch, put a little bit of peanut butter on the end and hot-glue a single almond slice to the bait holder. Leave the traps out un-loaded a day or two to get the rascal comfortable with them, then go ahead and load them.
