I have used a little bit of tootsies roll under the curl of a bait pan on old school victor snap traps tootsie rolls are so synthetic I have never seen anything other than mice after them. Worse case scenario you throw them away every six months to be cautious since it’s storage. They won’t draw mice in but if they are there you will catch them for certain even tiny mice if it’s only in the curl on the bait pan.

Do not click links, open attachments or take action unless you know the contents are safe] Hello all, Folks working in my building have recently noticed some mice near the front exterior doors, so I would like to put out some additional snap traps around the building. Inside my art storage area I don’t like to use food based bait like peanut butter because we ended up having trouble with spider beetles feeding off it, so I have used things like cotton and yarn nesting materials as bait with fair results, but I don’t have a big problem with mice actually inside the storage areas. I was wondering if anyone on the list has some other ideas for things I could use for baiting the traps that wouldn’t create a food source for the six-legged kind of pests. Thanks in advance!
