Glueing dog kibble to the trap... that's genius. Thanks dude

Thanks for the tip! I set two using your advice and caught 2 in the first hour or so. Had used peanut butter before and while it works have too often found the trap with the bait eaten but no mouse. Either a smart rodent or roaches, but now I have a way to catch mice that actually works.

Saw this method on another channel and it Does work! In my case I was dealing with field mice(size between rat&mouse) I believe this one was mature as the various cave traps I tried were too much effort& hid bait scent. I used a dab of gorilla glue with half dime size granola bar within 24hrs caught. **make sure the placement of trap is against wall with trap side against wall that way the bait is isolated and prevents mice from setting off trap from other side.

Yes!!! I just wanted to come on here and say this really work! I set a trap 🪤 earlier today and the mice fell for it tonight!! Thanks for posting this video!!😊

This works brilliant....I use hard candy sweets know as M&Ms here in the UK... I use the old fashioned Littler Nipper traps without the plastic paddles...I heat a small pin, and melt a hole in the M&M to fit over the bait holder spike on the trap, and then super glue it in place...if you want to freshen up the bait a bit, paint the M+M with soft peanut butter, chicken fat, ketch-up ect...Another tip is if you are using the old style traps where it is set by placing the tip of the retaining bar (?) under a wire staple, use a junior hacksaw to put some shallow grooves/striations on the end of the bar where it touches the staple. This provides a little extra friction between the two parts so the trap can be set very fine, but avoids many of the false triggers....lastly it's a good idea to a attach a foot or so of string to traps so they can be tethered...That way if you catch a rat, it won't drag the trap off and die some where unseen, only to stink the place out as it rots....

Trying it out tonight thanks for the honesty!

Thank you for posting this helpful video!

I used kibble too, but didn't think to glue it on! Thank you!!!

Thank you! Trying this out today!!!

Great tip! Thanks!

Great tips, thanks!

Thanks dude!

Let me suggest... that setting up the typical Victor mouse trap in a hard to reach place, such as way back under a sink, to set it on paper plate... then place it all in that hard to reach place. No more stringing fingers!

Trying tonight!! Thank you

I bought some spray cheese and a little more pricey but they can pull ral cheese off, the spray cheese is sort of like gluing it to the yellow tab. Best part, mouse sniffed the cheese and his nose set it off, reset same cheese on their now. Waiting on number two.

Thank you 🙏

Genius! I've been trying to get rid of the mice in my garage by feeding them peanut butter off of my traps in the hopes that they will die of coronary artery disease. This definitely looks faster.

I got desperate - snap traps wouldn't go off, electric trap short-circuited, they wouldn't walk on glue traps, and they refused to eat bait blocks (poison). Had some fleeting success with wrapping string around the bait paddle & coating it in peanut butter - the string caught in their teeth and amplified movement to get the trap to go off properly. I tried wedging a small piece of a Snickers bar in the hole on the bait paddle, but my mice just don't seem to be interested in anything chocolate. I settled on lacing the peanut butter I've been using as bait with Drano (harshest household chemical I could think of), but I can't tell if it's working yet. I'm going to try gluing various baits like this video shows, but given the failure with the Snickers bar, I doubt it'll work.

Gonna try this! Thanks!!!

GENIUS! THIS WORKS!

Great idea

Brilliant.

Great idea. Simple yet effective. They kept cleaning me of my peanut butter. Not anymore!

Ive had good luck with putting trap on a bunched up towel or old t shirt...puts them on unlevel footing and seems to work good

I never heard of this. Going to try tonight.

Excellent

Thanks, I'm gonna give it a try. I tried just about everything with no luck. It's like living in a Tom and Jerry Cartoon movie. You can't catch them.

Nice tip I should try it

Some of mine won't set without using the other slot making it stand almost straight up.

Does this bait work for rats in rat traps?

I have a field mouse (not sure the type) in our house. I put some circle traps nothing worked so far. Going to try this

wear gloves when handling bait and trap. Granola bar is best.

LOL, the words of a warrior - "...now I just keep it here permanently." As will I sir, once my battle is complete...as will I.

The bait that tomcat, etc sells is also great. works for many many kills.

Also, make sure the trigger rod is on the right side of the slot, thats the sensitive. Also, place the trap perpendicular to the wall.

Is that the squeeze bottle thing?

You say about and mouse like someone from either Canada or certain places in Virginia. Are you ? I've had success with setting that trap with the yellow bait shelf like you have, and it works well. Also a " Mice Cube " works well for someone who doesn't want to touch the mouse, or doesn't actually want to kill it. For bait, use 1/2 of a Lay's peanut butter cracker (the 1/2 that the peanut butter sticks to) and slide it down to the other end of the "cube". Works like a charm !!

I've used a little bit of peanut butter and a bit of steel wool shavings, even if they get the peanut butter, the steel wool will be bad on they're guts.

Because you're not trying to teach the mouse a lesson

I use a walnut tied on with dental floss.

Yes the el cheapo wooden traps shown work wonders. The more expensive plastic ones I tried were 2 for 3.97 and one didnt operate so I had to toss it. I just bought 4 more because I ran out @ 2 for 2.79 at Home Depot but everyone has them. Now I placed mine right by the hole where they ran to and from a tip I read ( one that actually works) I put a small slice of apple in the metal claw. Worked like a charm. I may have gotten rid of my problem because I'm not catching any more and I was getting one hours after setting the trap, usually closer to dusk but not always. They flat out love apples. Gum, peanut butter, other things no dice but apples, works great

So.... did the prairie dog make it out?

Totally. I don't know why they even still sell snap traps with those stupidly ineffective bait pans. It's almost like they're laying down the gauntlet and saying "there's no just doing it, you will learn to catch mice". 🤣

These traps are so sensitive, the breath from a mouse yawning will set them off.

Sorry, NYC mice are smarter than the average mouse; the older guys that have been around won't go for snap traps, sticky trays or anything that has been used previously; I'm amazed how smart they are. I caught a lot of babies, as sad as that was.

i like the idea but not everyone has a glue gun

Yea but super glue absolutely has a scent to it.

So do all the materials used to make the trap. In most cases, the mouse doesn't care about anything but the food, just like your garbage can.
