Mouse bait
24 Answers
What's the best bait for my mousetraps? I have four of them, of the style you see on Tom & Jerry. On the box they came in it said best was chocolate or peanut butter. I have no peanut butter, indeed I don't even know where to get it. So I cut the corners off some chocolate biscuits and armed said traps. I can still hear the mice scurrying around at night but they are not going near the traps.

Go to the garden center and get 2 or 3 peanut trees. They stay small so the peanuts are easily harvested. After flowering in Spring, tie some fine mesh nets under the tree so you catch all the mature nuts as they fall. Get two sturdy oven trays and put one on ground, add one layer of peanuts and cover with the second tray. Then proceed to drive over the trays with the car 8 or 9 times. Gather the crushed nuts and mix with softened butter in a 1:1 portion. Put in fridge and use as needed.
