G'day folks,
Btw, I spotted another mouse in the kitchen in the early hours this morning and set a trap with a piece of chocolate held on with caramel. Second time the mouse has succeeded in somehow removing it without setting it off. How?? I even had the tip of the pin teetering right on the edge this time. Might have to buy a more expensive model.
Try a 'tougher' bait, that's harder for the rodent to remove from the trigger plate.
A pea-sized piece of dried apricot, or half a sultana, has worked well for me. If need be, you can tie these baits on with sewing thread.
