Excellent job. I think I've got one in my garage as something keeps setting off my motion detector at all hours of the night. I bought a trap yesterday and the cashier said they have sold quite a few, I guess because of the cold weather. What did you use for bait? Whatever it is it sure is workin. :003:

I've had plenty of practice...I've caught up to 6 in one day in our house...it's an ongoing problem. I don't like to poison them because they always die where you can't find them and end up smelling up the area.
PEANUT BUTTER is absolutly the best. One night I heard the trap go off next to my desk where I was working, emptied it, set it back down and went to get a cup of coffee in the kitchen...before I even got the cup poured, I heard the trap go off again.
work that peanut butter into the holder good so they have to work at it to get it out.
I'm letting a couple of stray cats live under the house to help the problem, but I think I'm feeding them too much..they're gettin lazy.
Let's see...the tie in...we gotta keep them critters under control so they don't nest in our '57's.

Ditto on the peanut butter Rich, much better than cheese.

Rich, my shop is in the lower level of an 1800's barn. So I get plenty of mice that want to live with me. The house so far, I've been able to keep them out. I think those two were checking to see if you installed the headliner yet.   Mark
