Mice

[Dorset Lad]

Having moved some furniture at the weekend and found evidence of mouse activity, my immedeate thought was "have the blighters been at my stores and equipment?" As far as I can see they haven't, but to make sure, I bought another 8 Little Nippers to add to the existing ones I place around the house and outbuildings.
It's the time of year they are going to start moving indoors, so war is declared.
I usually bait the traps with raisins held in place with drawing pins so that they have to work at trying to remove them and stand a better chance of springing the trap. Any other ideas for bait? Cheese is no good as it drys and crumbles, then the pests just run off with the bits.
The humane type traps are no good either. A mate of mine used one at his wife's insistance. Took it out in the garden and released it, but the mouse got back indoors before he did!
