young man 225 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Ham and brown sauce use something with a pungent smell Quote Link to post
Mink 6 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Rats get better fed than I do. Home made brown bread , Ham and brown sauce , Mars bars and peanut butter. Let me know the next time you're setting some traps I'll pop over for a quick snack. Got 2 last week using just a slice of apple , also tried peanut butter as well in the past , and chocolate spread for a mouse that was doing my mums head in running about in her attic..

The one 8,468 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 'Mrg' timestamp='1334174944' post='2574439'] Peanut butter gets em every time for me buddy ! Like choc spread its naturally sticky and helps stick on trap ! We started using mouse traps with a depression in the pan and its ideal for filling with liquid choc spread 1 Quote Link to post
