Thanks for the info Epacris. I personally prefer your way of doing it and in fact we've thrown many snap traps away with mice still trapped but unfortunately this little sucker keeps getting the bait off..We even super glued a m&m to a trap and it just ate the choc out ouf the middle

We set the humane traps last night with some choc and some mouse bait and the sucker didn't go anywhere near them When they are baited like that they die in the trap and DH disposes of them in the bin. we catch this one very soon.
