Or, you can just throw some peanuts into the trap and wait for your iPhone
to tell you when you have a victim...no sticky messes to clean up

It has one significant advantagetypically you don't have to reload the
bate (sic.; pref. 'bait') since the first bastard hardly took any before
the trap took him.

Bacon is of diminaimus reduced risk of missing a hungry mouse or vole for that 
matter and, thus, should be dismissed as a reasonable design alternative bate.

This is the same kind of logic DOE uses to evaluate D radioactive waste 
design options.  They love the use of “diminaimus” as an adjective  to describe 
an undesirable parameter, e.a., mutagenic  changes relative to future 
generations’ welfare,  particularly small, close-knit populations of indigenous 
populations.   They do not pay attention to diminaimus risk in their design 
bases for D projects.

Use peanut butter on the tripping mechanism.  Its easier to apply and cheaper, 
and the varmint will eat until the trap goes off.  The dogma associated with 
cheese and mice  is just that.

Hi,

Ever set a mouse trap only to discover the next morning that the cheese is gone,
but the trap not sprung?
The trick is to use a very small amount of cheese, ~= 4 mm^3, and sticky tape it
to the trap, with just the edge of cheese sticking out, so that they can smell
it. That way, the mouse has to fight with the trap to get at the cheese, and the
struggle sets off the trap.
