This is my second time of using these traps. We have caught 3 mice but now the mice are eating the chocolate spread and managing to get back out of the traps. How can we stop this please?
Answer this Question (2 Answers)
- Try using a few peanuts, the mouse has to go right in to grab a nut with its front paws, then the trap closes.
- I have had this happen too, the first few mice are easily caught but after that they seem to learn how to take the treat without getting caught. I started using rolo's instead, or any other kind of sticky caramel chocolate mix. Mice can stretch out quite long and scrape the chocolate spread off without fully entering the trap, you have to make it really hard for them to remove so that they have to climb inside fully. If you cut the bottom of a rolo, wet it and then squash it really hard at the end then that should work.
