3 best mouse trap food

Bait Types:
- Peanut Butter: A classic and highly effective choice. Its strong scent attracts mice, and its sticky nature makes it hard for them to steal without triggering the trap.
- Cheese: While iconic in popular culture, cheese is not always the best bait. Mice have a keen sense of smell, and stronger-smelling options tend to be more effective.
- Chocolate: The sweet scent of chocolate can be enticing to mice.Use small amounts to avoid them nibbling without triggering the trap.
- Seeds and Nuts: Sunflower seeds or nuts can be effective, especially if they are securely attached to the trap.
Bait Placement:
- Center of the Trigger: Place the bait in the center of the trap's trigger area to ensure the mouse has to interact with the trap to access the food.
- Secure Attachment: If using softer bait like peanut butter, make sure it's securely attached to the trap. This prevents mice from simply grabbing the bait without activating the trap.
Freshness Matters:
- Replace Regularly: Check and replace the bait regularly. Fresh, aromatic bait is more likely to attract mice.
- Clean Traps: If a trap has already caught a mouse, clean it thoroughly before applying fresh bait. Mice are wary of the scent of a deceased fellow mouse.
High-Protein Options:
- Jerky: High-protein baits like jerky can be effective. The strong scent and chewy texture make it enticing for mice.
- Bacon: Similar to jerky, the smell of bacon can be irresistible to mice.
Avoid Poison as Bait:
- Safety Concerns: Using poison as bait is not recommended. It poses risks to pets and children if accidentally ingested and can result in mice dying in inaccessible areas.
Experiment with Different Baits:
- Trial and Error: Mice can have different preferences, so don't hesitate to experiment with various bait options to see what works best in your situation.
Proper Placement of Traps:
- Strategic Locations: Place traps in areas where mice are likely to travel, such as along walls or near entry points.
- Multiple Traps: Using multiple traps increases the chances of catching mice quickly.

Remember, successful mouse trapping involves a combination of the right bait, proper trap placement, and regular maintenance. Tailor your approach based on the specific conditions of your home or garden.

Product description

Authenzo Smart & Humane Mouse Trap

-Extremely Durable Design

We use more durable ABS material and add air holes meant to prevent mouse choke to death

-Extremely Humane

This mousetrap is very much humane. It does not inflict any pain on the mouse. The trap door too isn't triggered unless the mouse gets close to the trap's far end, which means that the tail will not get caught by the trap.

-Extremely Safe

There isn't any poison or glue used for this trap. The trap is therefore safe for children as well as pets and can be used indoor & outdoor. There isn't any contact with mice or whatever mouse droppings, therefore there isn't any chance for bites or disease risks.

How It Works

1.Place the bait (What is recommended as a bait for this kid of trap is the peanut butter) in just a small compartment in one of the ends, open holes should face the trap's inside. This is going to lure the mouse into the trap, where the smell comes from.

2.Open the gate on that other end. As the mouse moves to the other end to reach the bait, the weight of the mouse is going to move to the farthest fulcrum side triggering the trap and the gate is going to close.

3.Once you catch the mouse in the trap, take the whole trap outdoors where you lift the compartment for food in order to open your trap. The mouse will then run out.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it last a long time in the bottle or is there an expiration date
Answer:	No, we do not ship to Singapore.
Question:	Does this attract rats or just mice
Answer:	Yes it's a trout..bait. Chartreuse...is the hottest color... especially in murky water
Question:	Is this stuff meant to be colagulated? Mine is like a thick jelly and impossible to squirt out the bottle
Answer:	A ball about the size of a fresh cranberry should be more than sufficient. You could downsize to a #12 or # 16 hook easily. I've caught 25lb. lake trout on # 22 flies. A large hook doesn't necessarily mean you will catch a bigger fish. I hope this was helpful.
Question:	Does this actually works
Answer:	Yes. I put a dime sized ball or slightly larger of power bait and completely cover my hook.
