Depending on the weather ie if hot and no water source nearby,soak the food in water or beef dripping or lard.

right well they liked the bait but they never set off the cage, so all i can say is there must be nice there more nice than rats. I used the heel of the bread and a good thick layer of peanut butter and chocolate spread and not as much as a crumb left.So today i got a big barrel 40gallen and pasted the inside of it with a jar of jam with a ramp(2x1) up to the rim of it hopeing whatever likes the jam will be in the barrel tomorrow. The cheese/mayo spread wasn't touched.

Layers pellets work well On my fenn's also rolled wheat I use this when the rats start to take residence, I can fill up to 15 traps and on average take ten dead out next day,some on runs in tunnels and some in the open locked inside the foul sheds to keep the young ones fingers out,! Tried choc and loads of other stuff but not as good, atb 223
