Use mousetrap bait properly

What you need:

• chocolate
• Nutella
• Walnuts
• peanut butter
• hot dog

With the right bait in the mousetraps you can easily catch the small rodents.

Use these baits to catch mice

• Mice have a fine nose and smell the bait from afar. When given a choice, pick what is tastiest for her. Nutella and chocolate are especially tempting to mice. The small rodents simply cannot resist this and thus easily fall into mousetraps.
• Walnuts, peanut butter, and sausages are also preferred by mice, while the cheese is often left untouched.
• Make sure you place the bait well so the mice don't eat the treat without the trap snapping shut.
• With a cage trap, you should attach the bait firmly because the movement of the trigger will snap the trap shut.


Set up mousetraps - this is how you catch mice alive

• With the tube trap, it is best to smear Nutella on the back of the lid. This trap is triggered solely by the weight of the mouse.
• You can also use Nutella or peanut butter with snap traps made of plastic. This is lubricated under the trigger. When the mouse wants to get the bait, it has to lift the trigger, which releases the trap.
• With the classic mousetraps you should use a solid bait that you put on the metal pin. There is a small board in front of the pen that triggers the trap with the weight of the mouse.

You should keep this in mind when setting up the mousetraps

• Mice have their own roads that they keep walking on. You can recognize this by the droppings. Place the traps near such streets so that the mice can spot them quickly.
• Package your food in such a way that the mice cannot get there. These can be sealable cans.
• Above all, keep that kitchen clean, don't leave any scraps of food or crumbs lying around. The mice are attracted by this and, in the worst case, leave the mousetraps behind.
