We baited traps with a combination of peanut butter and oatmeal. They like the oatmeal and PB helps to stick the bait to the trap. Seemed to be more effective than unbaited traps but there is no peer reviewed literature to support this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781795384048326119.post-50025835903920632212015-01-29T15:27:38.543-07:002015-01-29T15:27:38.543-07:00Does this work for pocket gophers.

You place the traps on their trails so that they scamper over the trigger of the mousetrap - so no bait necessary.<br />Thanks for reading...and for giving your hubby something to do in his spare time.Tonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781795384048326119.post-61906466331832794642015-01-26T20:52:50.108-07:002015-01-26T20:52:50.108-07:00Hello!

I sent him out for mousetraps tonight. It will give him something to do tomorrow. So you don't put cheese on the traps like for mice? Thank you for solving our lawn mystry. And you are right. All of this was hidden until the snow melted yesterday and today.Heidi with a mousy lawn in Broomfield Coloradonoreply@blogger.com
