Chattanooga's Best Rodent Removal: Rats are arguably the most destructive pests. Their biology drives them to chew on different objects to keep the length of their incisors in check.

Chattanooga Rodent Removal Tip:

What is the best bait to trap a house mouse?
How long have you been trying to catch that mouse that keeps raiding your kitchen? Mice (rodents in general) are intelligent creatures. They have a keen sense of alertness at almost every point in time, except during their nesting period. With their fierce sense of smell, just a whiff of your scent on a food piece will make a mouse avoid it like the plague. Now don't get discouraged, mice do not know about avoiding traps, but one thing they know how to prevent is the scent of humans. 

Our primary focus in this article is knowing the best bait to trap a house mouse. Yes, you can remove that mouse from your house with good, or maybe in your case after reading this article: better bait. Your mousetrap should be appealing to the mice, and the type of lure you use will determine that.

What do Mice Prefer?
Naturally, mice eat seeds, but they also have a strong liking for food rich in fat, high calorie, carbohydrate, and protein. Using pieces of food that are under these categories would make an effective bait for a mouse. Here are some excellent recommendations for bait:

Peanut Butter
Peanut butter, the most preferred food for mouse bait, is derived from peanuts, and mice love peanuts. Peanut butter has a strong scent to a mouse nose and packs a powerful punch on their taste buds. Peanut butter has a high-calorie content and protein that mice need to keep their overactive metabolism in check. And since it's sticky, it will remain on the trap for as long as you leave it. 

Marshmallows
Marshmallows are rich in carbohydrates, sugar, and calories. Recalling that mice love sweet and high-calorie foods, marshmallows will make an effective bait for a mouse.

Chocolate
Chocolate has a fair amount of sugar and a strong aroma. The best type of chocolate to use is milk chocolate or white chocolate. Studies have shown that mice are attracted to these chocolates because of their very high sugar content. Mice avoid chocolates with the compound theobromine, which is similar to coffee since it has a bitter taste. Chocolate is also sticky enough to stay on the trap.

Beef Jerky, Hotdogs, Bacon
These foods are rich in protein and mice love protein. They also have a lovely smell that would make the mice want to carry out some tasting. Cut any of them into small bits, and place it on the bait holder or cage in a way that will be hard to remove. 

Cheese
The 'Tom and Jerry' cartoon series must have imprinted in our minds that house mice find cheese irresistible, but this information is overhyped. Despite that fact, house mice still like cheese, and its strong aroma attracts them. Cream cheese would be preferable since it's sticky.

For reiteration, wear gloves when handling these baits because a mouse won't go near anything with a human scent. You don't want to ruin the whole plan, do you? Also, wash your mouse trap before placing a fresh bait so it won't get spoiled fast.
