My bait of choice is a pumpkin seed. You can lodge it under the prongs of the trigger to make it difficult to steal.

Mice attract snakes, so we had to deal with snakes, too. Oh, boy! After we tried all the nice stuff, all-out war was declared and we went to traps. They were able to steal the cheese or lick the peanut butter off without setting off the trap. I ended up <tying> cheese to the trap with thread. That worked. Good luck, Barbara Richmond, RPT near Peoria, Illinois
