    As above really (it’s a humane trap before anyone starts!), thanks.

    I also have heard peanut butter.

    Or just do what we did – leave so much mess and crumbs out for it that it gets really fat and develops a sense of security. Then you can easily corner it and humanely catch it with a tupperware box, drive it out into the woods to humanely release it, where it’ll almost certainly get torn apart by an owl.

    Peanut butter. They can’t get enough of it. I used a humane trap successfully last year. Be patient!

    Chocolate or Clif bars. Both worked well for me. It was only because the wee beggars had nibbled a Clif bar in the first place I knew they lived in my garage!

    Anything with a strong smell. Peanut butter beats Nutella which beats a nice mature chedder cheese. Cheese is good as it smells for a long time
    But for any of these to work they need to be more attractive than whatever it is that’s attracting the mice in the first place, so work out what that is and remove it.

    oh and get a proper trap 😈 Humane traps are only that if the mouse doesn’t die of thirst waiting for you to turn up

    I mixed hot choc powed with butter. Seemed to work well for me but not so well for the three dead mice that died that night.

    Suppose at least they died happy!

    We tried all sorts of chocolate and peanut butter – but the thing that really got them was the Big Cheese Mouse Bait.

    About £4, comes in a little syringe and whatever is in it the mice love it.

    It should be OK as it’s in the garage and I’m checking it every time I let the dog out! (although I would have got a proper trap, but it’s not worth the aggro from the wife 🙄 )

    peanut butter always works for us, we normally get them a bit later in the yeasr when (I guess) they are looking for somewhere warm to spend the winter

    Well if Tom and Jerry taught us anything, it’s Limburger cheese.

    We discovered that expensive organic peanut butter might be better on toast or crumpets, but mice prefer the cheapest varieties. Chocolate didn’t work, neither did olives (yes I know, but I think these things are worth trying out).
