    Help what do mice eat?

    A couple of days ago i saw a mouse running about my house, was too fast for me to get anywhere near it, so i bought 2 traps put them in the areas i had seen him.
    anyway he just walks straight past them and runs about the house. on one i have chocolate, on the other is walnut my mum advise these as she has mice quite often and uses these as bait and catches mice.
    he's very brazen and runs about when i'm here god know what he does when i'm out probably has a party.
    anyway i'm feed up with him and he's got to go, can anyone recommend what bait to use as he's driving me mad, i see him out the corner of my eye running under the sofa or the bed i've lifted the sofa up and moved the bed but her's not there

    help please,

    i even named him "little fucker" cause he is

    Get a cat and have your own little Tom and Jerry thing going on!

    Quick google search recommends the following

    Mice Bait:
    Peanut Butter
    Oats
    Nesting Materials
    Chocolate
    Water (for live catch)

    Rat Bait:
    Peanut Butter
    Bacon
    Fruits
    Vegetables
    Cereals
    Meats

    how do you intend on catching this mouse if you dont have any traps.

    I'd expect some bread or something should be effective to hold the peanut butter.

    I can't remember what nuts, I think it was almonds they munched on when they got into one of our cupboards.

    peanut butter is really good as the little fuckers can't just nick it off the bait plate bit and so they have to stay there and munch at it. BTW if you've seen one you have shit loads - have fun

    I had one of these little fookers in my kitchen last month, i got one of them new black plastic traps, stuck a bit of willy wonkas scrumptiously scrumptious marshmallow chocolate in AND.........within 10 minutes his head was nearly off.

    Chocolate was the way for me.

    I had mice at uni, they were munching thru my bread - little bastards!
    I was half asleep and could hear this rustling noise, so I turned the light on and it stopped. So light went off and noise started again - proper comedy moment. Actually went over to the the other side of the room and saw the little bugger run down the back of fridge and behind the gas meter where it's mouse chums were hiding.

    I got some humane traps from the college and took some bread and smeared it in Nutella
    Fuck me in like 5 minutes I got one!!

    It didnt really like being inside the trap and proceeded to try to get out quite frantically - thus keeping me awake

    So I simply popped it outside my door and waited until morning to take it to the park and release it's mousey little arse

    Think I caught two or three and never got anymore after that, despite thinking there'd be loads

    Hope you catch the little blighters!

    Pete
