Can’t believe I have to ask this, but what’s your secret to catching a dang mouse? My wife has a mouse in her office at work and the dang thing will leave little presents on her desk at night. I made her a mouse live trap to leave set on weekends, the janitor set sticky traps and regulat traps. We’ve tried hamburger, cheese, peanut butter, jelly, Oreo cookies, coconut shavings, and even pieces of a snickers. This has been going on for a month and we can’t catch the dang thing. We now have a trail camera set on her desk to try and get video of the dang thing. This thing is turning personal.......
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

I always give them a little snack . A half a teaspoon along the wall. They never make it more than about 3 ft from their last supper . Can’t do that, it’s a public building. That’s why I made the live trap.

1st stop feeding him. Are you sure you only have 1 mouse? Regardless make a bucket set with peanutbutter smeared on the "roller". Exactly the sets I make- gets them every time. Just make sure any other food is cleared out of the room , or it will just keep after the order in stuff
