Well the response of this thread have been interesting to say the least, creating visions ranging from the Salem witch trials to a Rachael Ray cooking show. That is until Jim pointed out the grave error in my trapping technique. It is great to learn, and I like to learn something every day, except when it is a lesson learned on a public forum pointing out my ignorance in wildlife biology. Oh the horror. I always thought a white footed mouse was omnivorous...duh!
I looked around the kitchen for more bait and didn't have any cheese whiz or raisins but did have some cheddar cheese. I applied to my Victor trap last night and this morning didn't even see a nibble. Perhaps the trap is sullied with salami grease. I will reprovision trapping supplies today on my way home from work.
