It was premature to think my mousecapades were really over in February since presents were sporadically left onto top of my air ducts in the basement. I upped the bait to caramel popcorn, peanut butter twix, and some other goodies. I could see that there was interest but no one took the bait. I finally bit the bullet and got peanut butter. I placed a dollop in each trap (that's have-a-heart traps since I'm a softie like that) at the very end of the trap. Again, there was a lot of interest around the traps. So I cleaned and washed each trap and placed a dollop of peanut butter at the end of the entrance ramp and a small dot on the ramp itself. Bam! Two mice the next morning. Bam bam bam. three mice in two traps the following morning. So far this past month, I've caught 8 mice including two juveniles. My grand total is 20 mice. I've found a new spot for their release that I'm very sure is too far to run back. I may just get lucky enough to get a photo of one of them since I'm a mouse expert now.
