Around my house I hear a small but not tiny rodent rodent move around in my attic area around an hour after dark.
In the knee-wall space I have a few mouse snap traps with PB bait and a mouse sized Havahart trap with PB bait, and a larger squirrel sized Havahart trap with PB and squirrel bait (from Amazon). While I have caught a couple of mice and one chipmunk, this winter the smart rodent is still making noise in attic area.
Prev winter I caught flying squirrels but none recently. We have tightened up soffit areas to keep rodents out.
Any better bait? How often does the bait need to be freshened? If a rodent died in a trap, does one need to super clean the trap so a perspective rodent does not smell death?
So this is a rodent who is out at night.
