Are you are having problems with mice taking the bate of metal victor traps and not getting caught ???? What I do is get some string like used for tying up packages. Take a short pice and wrap it around the bait trigger/pad and tie it off--- do it several times so that it is a small ball. Then take your peanut butter and mash it into the sting ball making a point to add it to the underside of the pad. The mice cannot lick it clean and start chewing at the sting --- especially so if it is on the under side --- worked for me ! I also use the tincat traps -- metal box with trap doors but find that half of the mice around here are hoodie escape artists --- but even if it catches some I am ahead . The best trap that I have found is the 5 gallon/20 liter plastic bucket used for motor oil. Take a coke can/beer can and punch holes in both ends. Then run a coat hanger wire through the holes so that it makes a crude roller . fashion the ends of the wire to grip the sides of the pail so that the "roller " is suspended over the center of the top of the pail . Smear the roller with peanut butter . Lastly fill the pail with about 3 inches of water and place it so that mice have access to the pail--- if in the middle of the floor then make a ramp out of a board for them and rub some peanut butter into the wood as well . After a few drown DONT change the stinking water as it seems to draw them like a magnet . For winter use I replace the water with antifreeze but be sure that none of your pets will drink it --- it is a big attraction with the peanut butter and all . There is a lot of vids about this trap on youtube . Lots of surveillance pis as well and the one guy determined that a sticky roller worked better than a roller that spun freely . It allows the mouse to feel safe climbing out on the roller . One way to make the roller hard to turn is to add a small round pebal/ball bearing to the can before putting the wire through I also use warfaren -- well actually some thing that sounds like warfaren but is spelled different -- it does work but only for awhile as the tray of bait will never empty . You fill it and a year later there will be still a 1/4 of it left and it never changes --- so I guess word gets out that mice shouldent eat it --- or it looses it attractiveness some how .

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
