What food would you recommend to put on it to catch a mouse?

I used peanut butter. Just be sure to to put it on the trap before you set it!

We tried peanut butter first and it was licked clean without setting off the trap. I talked to an exterminator who recommended a small (1/4") piece of Slim Jim or beef jerky. By hooking the tough meat on the metal trigger, it forces the mouse or rat to tug at the meat, setting off the trap. That's been very effective.

This trap is best for rats, but there are similar versions for mice. I found peanut butter to be effective for both.

If we have fresh cherries in the fridge, we use a little wedge from one of those. We have also had success with peanut butter... smearing about 1/4 tsp of peanut butter on the part that holds the bait.

Mice probably wouldn't set off this trap, but if you have a lot of rats, you don't even need to bait them. Just set several traps up where the rats travel and you will be amazed at how many you will catch...I know I was!

peanut butter is the most effective bait for anything from mice to elephants

Yes, I even found a dead mouse in one of mine. Place some food (bait) inside and that will attract insects more.

This container is thicker in plastic than Rubbermaid, but mice can chew through iron, brick, and steel. You might need to lay sticky tape around your storage container or tape it on (with sticky side out) your to catch the mice.

this will get mice, to avoid this put the trap in side a box with holes a bug can get in but a mouse can not. the spiders will love entering your box and then get in here, but the mice will move around the box. keep in mind a mouse can get in any area his skull will fit in, dont make the holes too big.

Hey Jim - I purchased the Victor M792 but it didn't do a thing to deter the mouse problem we had. I also tried the peppermint oil trick that people posted, but that was a farce too - the mice ate the cotton balls we put in the vents! So, I have nothing to advise apart from old fashioned traps.

Honestly, I never kept mine long enough to even try... if you have mice problems, get a cat! That's the best advice I can offer because this thing is junk!

We have had a mouse coming and going from our chicken coop but have not had any issues with it getting into the feeder. However if you placed the feeder near some chicken wire a mouse could probably climb in.

Mice just walk by the unit and laugh at it poison and sticky traps work the best, just put box of poison down with sticky traps around it with no gaps gets them every time

I have two of these traps and where I live in Sherman Oaks Calif we have what is called tree rats and they are not real large. I found a piece of bacon is good bait I piece in the back of the trap so the rat has to enter and it is trapped inside. I put a piece of bacon on the outsid as chum. I catch about three rats a week.

The Catchmaster Mouse and Insect glue traps listed here that I have are scented with peanut butter. I have had good success with the scent catching bugs to mice and small garter snakes.

This poison is for rats. Mice won't eat it. What you want is just one bite II poison you can get it on amazon also.

Some mice are just smart. No trap works on all of them. With the MiceCubes, the main way a mouse gets around them is by turning them over before they go through the door. That way the door stays open. Putting a soup can on top of the trap should eliminate that from happening. And of course, you're going to occasionally get some "Super Mice" who actually go in, eat and then can somehow get that door back open and get out or some that chew their way out. If you're having that kind of trouble, try a different kind of mouse catcher like a metal multi catch trap or the smart mouse trap(both are humane catch and release traps.) Not all mouse traps work on all mice. Simple as that. Fortunately there's a few different styles so if you're dealing with a super mouse, one of the styles will likely be his kryptonite. Some mice and their ability to escape from traps is nothing short of amazing. I swear some of these guys wear capes!

It should attack them yo the poison... They are rodants and I'm sure like the same things to munch on... If your having any luck catching them in traps I'm sure this will do the trick! It worked well for us and we used it for field mice

I would use the whole packet. You don't know how many mice will be eating on it. They say if you have one mouse, there's always another. I always put the packet out and they eat a hole in it to get to the poision. That way I don't have to touch it. Be careful around children & pets. But, to answer your question I would think you could open it and use part of a pack. It's potent.

Frank I don't know where you put the bait . I put the peanut butter on the wall with the holes in it . I wish I had more traps this trap for me works great since I got it I probably have caught 30 or more mice . I hope this helps .

You might try an ice pick but be careful not to jab yourself. The plastic is thin and brittle so it might be hard to force an ice pick through. I don't know why the manufacturer wouldn't put vent holes in it. We have been catching mice on a fairly regular basis but on more than one occasion the food has disappeared. We figured one mouse came in and got it and another mouse came along and opened the door and both escaped.

I put sardines in with dog food to bait a raccoon so cat food or tuna might work.
