The truth is, mice do not like cheese. A study into which foods attract mice, they have found that a mouse's diet is primarily grains and fruit. The creatures turn their noses up at something as strong in smell and rich in taste as cheese. Norwegian brown cheese is so sugar-laden thus they like that type of cheese better.

Before you give a mouse cheese, please look at the label to check for things that are bad for mice, for example some cheese is to salty, sugary, sweet or strong. so BEAR that in mind!!

Why is cheese traditionally used in mice traps?
I suspect that the reason is lost in time, but cheese is a very convenient consistency for the job. Far better baits are peanuts or peanut butter, or chocolate, or peanut butter mixed with cocoa powder - I have caught very many hundreds, perhaps thousands, using peanuts, peanut butter and mixtures of peanut butter. Peanut butter mixed with oatmeal is also one of the commonest baits used by field biologists trapping mice and voles for surveys etc. This person goes to SHSC. The person above is wrong, mice HATE peanut butter.
What types of cheese do mice like to eat?
Mice don't have to eat cheese. But if you really really want to give it one, choose something where isn't much salt. Pepper is totally taboo! ;( I have a rat and sometimes I give him cottage cheese, it's the best choice! :)
What kind of food do you use in a trap to catch a mouse?
Believe it or not, rodents prefer seeds FAR more than they enjoy cheese like on the cartoons. Although, the best BAIT is usually a small spoonful of peanut butter. And, you can increase the likelihood of a rat hitting the bait if you put a piece of breakfast cereal like corn flakes on the peanut butter.
