Best bait for mouse traps?

ratman told me chocolate spread or peanut butter were best.

In Helston p'raps

It was in Buckinghamshire I used carrot to live trap an infestation of mice. I got rid of the lot in three days.

I noticed my current infestation by their attack on a banana ... so I may use some of that in addition to the PNB. Annoyingly my local Tesco has no taramasalata.

At the moment they're tucking into the poison.

It's all very grim

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Someone told me that recently.

I may... uh. nope. forgot.

I go with twix. It sticks nicely and you can eat the other finger. Twix cleaned up the plague we had something proper.

Pysherelic and I have been using twix in some traps and gouda in others. Both have been successful but I think the twix has a better kill rate.

Pysherelic is in bed and snoring now but I can't sleep and I'm sure there's something rustling about in the kitchen! What should I do? Stay here and hope it stops, go and explore armed with some type of weapon or jump up on a chair armed with a broomstick and squeal until it goes away or pysherlic wakes up?

Decisions, decisions....

Mousetraps:

Although they have taken to actually eating the mice of late *barf*.

(that is not a mouse they are fighting over, by the way, its a plastic dog toy)
