But I find bacon works best, jammed under the jagged end of the trigger. Peanut butter is good, but bacon is to die for. They can't lick off the bacon.

I've lost a few hundred cheap marigold seedlings this year. I've caught 4 of the mice responsible.

You can nuke those birdseed in the microwave which will render them unable to sprout and the birds will still love them.
