Snap traps in a brown paper bag baited with peanut butter.

When you catch something, curl up the top of the bag and throw it all in the trash.

Ooooh that paper bag idea is nifty.

We actually discovered something that worked far better than peanut butter - Reese's peanut butter cups. You break off a little piece, squish it into a ball, and place it on the bait lever. Not a single trap misfired once we switched to that.
