The spring traps I used to use had the metal bait triggers, and I learned that using compressed oat bread packed tightly on those clips was a big draw for the smart packrats. In a dry climate the bread dough dries out quickly and becomes incrusted on the trigger and hard to remove; used to kill 3 to 6 rats on the same bait.

[@Suehuskins]

I’ve always hot glued Hershey kisses to the trap but I also hot glue a piece of cardboard under the trap to keep splatter from getting on anything like tools etc in my garage. I have never had a rat trap, I do this for mice. Sometimes they actually get the candy out without setting it off - my fault in placement.

[@andrewallason4530]

I wonder if you could use the Hershey (or any other brand) chocolate sauce. Just get a little squeeze bottle to keep it in, so as not to contaminate your whole bottle. Couple of good dollops on the trap. Yummo.

[@Suehuskins]

@@andrewallason4530 idk they were good at licking peanut butter off the trap without sitting it off. The whole reason I went with hot glue and chocolate is they stole my chocolate out of a ziplock baggie once so I knew they liked that.

[@TheCaphits]

Remember to set your snap traps with a very easy to set off trigger for more catches and less taken bait. Thanks for another great video!

[@scottcates]

please explain what an off trigger is.

[@chriswaters2327]

@@scottcates The release mechanism for the spring should be set such that it has little resistance so the trap is more sensitive to being triggered.

Peanut butter, I haven't change the bait in a year. They just keep going for it

[@DKNguyen3.1415]

Mine stopped going for peanut butter after a few months.

[@mk1cortinatony395]

For mice? Me too if so. Its bad looking but still attracts them

[@hamsterama]

Rats in my backyard show zero interest in peanut butter. Just like people, individual rodents have different food preferences.

[@chubbrock659]

Peanut butter is rodent candy for sure

[@Dosbomber]

The mice in my area go absolutely nuts for ordinary Cheetos. You wouldn't believe how many mice I've dumped from kill traps with their tiny teeth reaching past the PB and going for it like orange cheesy crack.

[@CanadianBakin42O]

RAT TRAP MONDAY!

[@kensmith5694]

Tying the food to the trigger with some thread helps burying the body of the trap helps to make it less obvious. Very light materials work best for this like very dry potting soil. Placing a trap near a wall seems to help.

[@SaycoRa]

Good work Crawdaddy.

[@neiliewheeliebin]

I've got one big rat living in my shed that keeps all the mice away, before that it was like a mouse plague they were everywhere

[@tenchraven]

Meat is concentrated fats and proteins. For species that seem to be trying to get smarter, that's a boon.

[@bust3dstr8]

I have tremendous luck with almonds soaked in bacon grease. I drill a small hole in the almonds and then wire to the pedal. I works great on the plastic and metal ones.

[@coconutjoe7544]

I will try proteins, sounds like good idea. - Beside peanut butter also Nutella decorated with sunflower seeds works fine for me.

[@JohnAltenburg]

Title should be Mouse Meat for Rat Bait.

[@akbychoice]

Try a tiny piece from suet blocks like for birds.

[@leiatyndall8648]

Hmm. Interesting idea.

[@allanmanley6340]

I used Dahlia (the flower) tubers...... They go mad for it.

[@bradgillund2633]

I've heard that scrambled eggs work well.

[@southernflatland]

Nah, use marshmallow cream. You know, the stuff inside of oatmeal cream pie cookies.. Yeah, they'll smell that stuff from what seems like a quarter mile away, its just as sticky as peanut butter, and rats and mice absolutely *love* the stuff!

[@aarontuplin]

Slim Jims always worked wonders for rats and Tootsie Rolls for mice

[@censusgary]

I remember when you baited rat traps with mice. It’s a little unexpected (to me) that rats hunt and eat mice, but they do. We tend to think of rats as big mice, but they have a lot of differences from mice.

[@John_Ridley]

I've been live trapping mice in my house this past week. I put peanut butter in the back but I also toss a small potato chip into the back of the trap on the lever. They go for it every time.

[@TheRattleSnake3145]

Sunflower seeds stuck the trap using peant butter works for me

[@squelchtone]

same!

[@punishedwhirligig3353]

Does this apply to mice too?

I've got a question for anyone out there, have you tried making an improvised Glue Trap to catch mice by using double sided Gorilla Tape stuck to a sheet of cardboard, I'm just curious as to whether or not it would work.

[@alunjones3860]

How about trying a mouse as bait?

[@rolandasgrigaitis708]

since when do rats eat mice?

[@gjmottet]

I learned that the hard way when I was a kid and had both pet mice and rats at the same time. I saved a pet mouse just in time from my pet rat. The mouse had escaped and got too near the rat's cage. I was on the other side of the room reading a comic book and heard the screaming from the mouse. I made a loud noise and spooked the rat right before it gave the death bite. The mouse was pretty scratched up and shaken, but survived. Mice and rats do not mix.

[@awatt]

Tried everything in mousetraps but lately the mice won't go for peanut butter, chocolate, chorizo or nuts. 🤷‍♂️
