    We've been putting mousetraps up there but we've only caught one. They keep covering them up with nesting material! Storing the peanut butter?
    Do mice learn not to touch the traps?
    Any suggestions? I suppose bait is the answer but I don't like the idea of rotting mice bodies over my head.
    The best bait for a mousetrap is sugar, just put some on the spike, it will solidify and the mice won't be able to resist trying to get their teeth into it.

    chocolate is another classic mouse bait - if you can bear to part with it...
