Our basement happens to have a relatively ample supply of malted barley for my husband's homebrewing hobby which of course attracts mice. Our tabby regularly catches them and enjoys playing with them, our Siamese enjoys watching her with them but stays away from them (as in "eek a mouse"!). We have woken up during the night to the sound of cat chasing/playing with mouse in our living room and even in our bedroom...of course she has to bring them upstairs to share with us all! She thinks it very unfair when they get taken away from her and tossed outside!!Maureen in Fargohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12968439111278258364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-67162681292303833842014-02-17T14:05:53.583+00:002014-02-17T14:05:53.583+00:00Peanut butter is an excellent trap bait.

Luckily your supermarkets probably already have these on their shelves, as they have had since Boxing Day. Grr!<br /><br />The other reliable bait for traps is the highly flavored jelly beans.<br /><br />Good luck/hunting ;-)Moorecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04231619758940001287noreply@blogger.com
