Answer: Peanut butter on an old style neck-breaker mouse trap is the best bait. Especially if you tie a bit of heavy string to the trigger first. The "wee cowerin' beastie" (as Burns calls them), can't pull the bait off and has to lick it away or tug on the knotted cord. Either activity engages the trigger and releases the spring. Answer: Peanut butter can be used to trap mice as well as rats. It can be placed in a mouse or rat trap. Not only have I tried it, but I saw it on the History Channel today (11/13/08 EST. ) Peanut butter sticks to a trap better than cheese. This forces the mice to work harder on securing the bate.

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.
