I've had one too. Put the traps down with yummy tidbits and the bugger goes into hiding.

@meggie what do you use for bait?

@cherokeepatti my partner was told peanut butter or chocolate are the best. So he uses those. What do you use?

@meggie usually peanut butter or almond butter and sometimes cheese. I once had a little storage closet in the chicken house and stored the chicken feed out there. Saw where mice were there & were eating the small bits of feed that fell over the container scoop. So I swept up every last bit. Then I got a trap and sper- fluted a single dry kernel of corn on it for bait so they couldn’t steal the bait. Caught 5 mice with one kernel of corn

@cherokeepatti this one left droppings around the toaster where we use multiseeded bread, so since we've stopped using the toaster he hasn't been around. All our food is sealed. We had builders in doing renovations, so he probably got disturbed and found his way to the kitchen.
