Yo Bill - I was all set to do the monofilament technique when I thought I'd do a quick Google search and see what others are suggesting.
I found a guy who was using a hot glue gun and gluing dry kibble to the trap trigger. I thought that would be easier than the monofilament so took my glue gun down to the garage and began looking at bait choices. I was going to use some dry cat food when I saw a few slim jims in my mini-fridge that I keep for snacks. I decided those would work as good or better than the kibble and when I looked at the trap trigger I noticed the little prongs each one has, so I ended up just snagging a piece of the slim jim onto each prong so there would be some serious tugging involved by any rat trying to forage. So I didn't use the glue gun. We'll see what happens. I'm only at level 2 right now....lol.
