This is important because some rodents are smart, they might try to avoid a certain type of trap. You can use any food you have at home or choose mouse-approved favorites like; bacon, oatmeal, peanut butter, chocolate, hazelnut spread, and dried fruits. Make sure you replace the bait after every two days.
