What bait do people use for these? I’ve never caught a single mouse in mine and there are plenty in my shop

Salami worked best for me. Never had to wait more than 20min to catch a mouse, including in daylight when I was in the same room.

But are you sure you didn't caught them ? Mouses are notoriously acrobatic and are surprisingly adept at getting out of traps. The sticky traps are usually good and don't even require bait, you can just put them along a wall and usually efficient enough, especially those that you can fold in a tunnel like form.

😂 salami is hilarious I will try that. I’ve never seen a sign of a mouse in the 2 I have. I catch plenty in sticky traps but the shop is so cold right now I’m thinking they aren’t sticking lol
