Can I open the pack and use the product to put in a Victor mouse trap. Apparently the mouse in my house doesn't like peanut butter.

Yes but there are packs that you'd have to cut open. Little blue pebbles that aren't soft. Tuck it in spot away from pets......
822222
you can but the thing about peanut butter is the stickiness....might want to oput a little down and mash this into it...it is not sticky.

I didn't put it in a trap, I just opened the pack and it worked fine for me. I used it in an outbuilding and it worked.

Just a helpful tip. Mice have poor vision and tend to stay by the walls. They are also smart and realize when something is out of place. Suggestion: leave the trap unset for several nights without bait until the mice get use to it. After a few days, set the trap with peanut butter. That way they won't be afraid of the trap. Also, be sure to set in perpendicular to the wall.

You could, but it's a waste. Skip the mouse trap and just put out the product.

Sure you can do that but make sure no pets or children can get to the exposed poison.

On the first night I had these I caught 4 more ON THE ORIGINAL BAIT. Same trap. A dab of peanut butter ...I haven't had to change the bait or add more peanut butter and the mouse count is now five on the same trap.

I snip the top off the packet and throw the packet inside the crawl space of my home. Mice/rats are quite good at eating through plastic so snipping the top off probably isn't necessary but it increases the scent attraction to the product.

Just add the PB2 wherever you might add peanut butter. The liquids from your other ingredients should help rehydrate the PB2.

We tried peanut butter first and it was licked clean without setting off the trap. I talked to an exterminator who recommended a small (1/4") piece of Slim Jim or beef jerky. By hooking the tough meat on the metal trigger, it forces the mouse or rat to tug at the meat, setting off the trap. That's been very effective.

This trap is best for rats, but there are similar versions for mice. I found peanut butter to be effective for both.

I have opened a plastic mayonnaise jar and it worked great. But I haven't tried it out on any other plastic jars yet.

You don't have to open the bags. This product didn't work for me mice just ate everything I didn't even see one dead mouse, for me after using this product the mouse problems got worse. I ordered snap e mouse trap that was the best decision I made so far no more mouse. Good luck

Yes. That's due to it not being room temp. Just mix it up and throw it in the fridge. Keep in fridge after opening, just as you would with any other peanut butter jar. Keeping it cool will do the trick.

Any brand will work fine, I have always used peanut butter with good success catching mice, but my secret is to use very little peanut butter, and it's important to make sure it's caked on the trap not just laying in a big clump...for some reason when I put a large amount on the trap, they some how clean me out, so use a little and paste it to the plastic so the mice have to work at removing it.

It did not work in my house. I put it out for a long time and it is untouched. I tried to mixed with peanut butter, still there.

You might try an ice pick but be careful not to jab yourself. The plastic is thin and brittle so it might be hard to force an ice pick through. I don't know why the manufacturer wouldn't put vent holes in it. We have been catching mice on a fairly regular basis but on more than one occasion the food has disappeared. We figured one mouse came in and got it and another mouse came along and opened the door and both escaped.

I always saw the green light no buzz; the mouse never went inside cause the bait was never touch. I used Tomcat press n set mouse trap use peanut butter and a small piece of chocolate as bait. First night I placed it ta da death mouse. I left them to see if more critters would be caught. Some weeks went by then one night I saw the sneaky bastard running underneath furniture. Two weeks later ta da now my house is free of this critters. This darn critters are smart; you need patience and relocate traps if more than four weeks go by without any luck. The electronic mouse trap I just returned, did not work for me. I always saw the green light no buzz; the mouse never went inside cause the bait was never touch.

Yes! Absolutely! I set mine between the lawn and my woods, baited with peanut butter and birdseed. I read oatmeal works well, I have caught more with this trap than any other. I have 3 which is expensive but I am taking voles!

The box has to be assembled. There will be small gaps between the box and lid. It is possible you could get ants in there, but I don't think bees or wasps could get in. Being plastic a mouse could chew its way in. Mine has been outside for some time and there has been no intrusion. However, I wouldn't try keeping food in it that would attract mice and ants as I'm sure they would find a way in. It could only be rodent and bug proof if it was a hermetically sealed steel box.

It does not, you can use anything you like. I usually take a small cracker, break it in half and spread a little peanut butter to make a tiny mouse sized 'sandwich'. It seems to be fairly irresistible :-)

Anywhere on the inside is okay. I have success using a small amount of peanut butter in the channel that is beside the entrances. That way the mouse can get all the way through the entrance and is trapped by the time it starts to eat on the bait. Otherwise, the tail may provide a means of escape. Also, I have had some escapes because the entrance ramps on some models come slightly bent. You should check that before you bait the trap. If the bait keeps disappearing with no mice trapped they are escaping.
