Dasher Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Nutella rubbed into a cloth attached to the cage so they can't get away with it. Best trap isn't a live catch but a fenn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panoma1 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 A Fenn trap set very sensitive, with a cube of bread crust smothered with peanut butter tied on to the treadle.....works for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Mars bar, peanut butter, tinned tuna. They will all work in my experience but I will stay away from anything that smells to much, particularly for internal work. Chocolate generally for internals, but there are specific attractants/baits which look/smell to me like cheap jam, which I find works too.
