These say "peanut butter scented". How strong is the smell? Will that smell attract mice? I need traps for cockroaches and don't want to attract mice.

I put these out for spiders this past fall in the house and attic and for spiders and other bugs in the garage. You can smell the peanut butter smell when you are working with them when you first set them out. But I don't notice the smell when walking around them. And I have not attracted any mice thus far.

The smell is not as strong as opening a jar of peanut butter, but still very noticeable and annoying when you are handling them. I was not able to catch any mice with these traps, granted the mice in my house seemed to be the smartest mice I've ever encountered. I didn't have a roach problem, so I also didn't catch any with these. I caught nothing. I don't think the scent is strong enough that it's going to attract mice from outside your house to the inside.

From my experience the smell is noticeable and I have caught mice on the traps, but I consider that a good thing though. I have caught a variety of insects and have caught a couple of cockroaches. I believe that if the trap is placed in a good location you will have success in getting cockroaches and really don't believe the smell will necessarily attract mice if they are not there anyway.

Some smell but not awful. Caught lots of nice, but not really for roaches. I would try Harris roach tablets.

Ha! I think there is a lot of truth in your question but I don't think they can resist peanut butter. I've caught several with the same trap.

Most likely to much bait. I was doing that at first. I took a butter knife and just got a dab on the tip of the knife and put it on the rim of the bait hole. Make them have to go all the way to the hole. They have strong smell. They will go for it. Hope it works!

Do not know about bugs but for mice it is outstanding Just put it on cotton balls in 4 corner of cards boats RV or basement and garage and they are gone. Great smell to for humans. I would try it works so well for the uninvited above might do the same for bugs!

These usually are used for moths. Not sure how effective against the others, but closets, cabinets, attics, crawl spaces, hidden areas (under sinks). For rodents I use pure peppermint oil in a sprayer with bottled water, the spray where mice are present (attics, dark, hidden areas). Plus then it makes the house smell nice.

I put peanut butter in the hole and it catches mice 90% of the time. The other 10% they eat the peanut butter and don't get caught. One thing I do is put the trigger side next to a wall. That seems to work well.

Well I use them at camp up north where we have the deer mice that usually like to come in and make themselves at home since they I put them in I have not seen a mouse or any signs of them for the past five years and I also put some at my home and we don't see any there also. Hope this helps you!

No bait included. I used a piece of cereal with peanut butter on it. I also dabbed the door with peanut butter as enticement. Don't use too much bait. A little bit will do. Mice can't vomit. If you load the trap up, it might not be so humane.

Sorry, I have never had mice to deal with. I know this system keeps roaches away, if you have your home exterminated well first. Then install the Pest Offense, this method works for roaches.

Use peanut butter. Works like a charm. Make sure you hunting a rat and not a mouse. A mouse will not trigger the trap. Use peanut butter

Hi Monika, I use this project mainly to deter squirrels from nosing around my bulbs and digging all over the place. I've never used it for mice but I can't help but think that it might work for mice and rats as well because of the ingredients. It seems to work a little for racoons and skunks so if it was me, I would try it and see how it goes. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Take care and all the best to you for the new year.

It does not have a "strong" smell, although it does smell of glue, hence it being a glue trap. I'd say your dog might be interested in it, as were my cats, but the smell subsides in a day or so, we left them on the counter over night which aired them enough. If your pet happens to get stuck to it, any oil or water even poured over it will take it off. These are more like a tape then a glue trap seen for rodents.

I don't think anything is mouse proof. Its a hard plastic I'm sure mice can chew through it, however it does have an airtight seal so I'm guessing that if the mice cant smell it they won't bother it. I'm not however, a rodent expert. You might wanna call an exterminator and get their input.

If I recall, I believe there were packets that were not opened that mice chewed into. However, because I have a similar situation in which I needed to place the packets into an area that I could not reach, I have since decided to just poke a small hole (pencil, etc.), into the package first. The hole is small enough that it doesn't allow anything to spill out, but I am insured that the scent of the bait will still attract the mice. Hope this helps?

earwigs like rotting wood, if you have some old mulch, you could put a bit in the center, maybe an earwig will after it and get stuck. but the best way to use- simply put these against the wall. bugs love to move along walls, so do mice. I have had mice in mine! if you put a bit of book binder in one, you can attract silver fish. but they are basically best at just grabbing everything that moves along your wall. try one by a basement door and see how many bugs you get! its surprising and you start to by these in bulk!

There was no Smell and I suggest you put gloves on when they are dead you get a plastic bag put your hands in the bag and pick up the rodent and throw it away. This is the best stuff out there. I have tried everything let me tell you, My house my yard is free of them, I do suggest you pick up any bags if outside and trow them away This product has saved us a lot of money and it is effect and safe if you use regular precautions. Try it you won't be disappointed. The best out there. Hope that helps.

I don't really know the answer to your question, since I'm not dealing with a mice issue. But I think, it might be. It is extremely strong. It scared me away from consumption. So I can imagine that mice with their sensitive little noses might really be terrified of the smell. Good luck. Traudi
