 Peanut butter is better bait for mouse traps than cheese.

Hopefully you never need this knowledge! 
 Meat is even better. Problem is it spoils fast. 
 They really like dog food. The ones in Texas don't fall for Peanut butter 
 Carnivores 
 We don't have vegan ass rats in Texas. They want the meat. 
 Raised in NYC I wish I knew this earlier in life. There are cat sized rats there 
 Where I'm from, they already know to stay away from the peanut butter.  Hahahaha we use the glue pads.. ya im from the hood projects hahahah  
 I bought peanut butter just for this usecase... 
 my rats are too smart 
 Check out this product. Kills mice or rats. No poison. Allows other predators and carrions to find and eat the carcass.

 I wish I could say I didn’t know this, but I just reset my mouse traps today. 
 Peanut butter works great. Harder for them to steal off the lever and has enough smell to get their attention. Got a double once off PB. I should post that picture. 
 100% alternatively, use a snickers bar. 
 agree. all about chocolate..
