Well, hang onto your crainium then. I've been known to toss jars of peanut butter that had whole teaspoons still in it!Listen bud.... Getting that last molecule of peanut butter out of the jar Is a worthy pursuit!

Those who are obsessed with scraping every molecule of PB out of the jar are beginners at the game of OBSESSION.
I had a friend who was constitutionally incapable of throwing out a kleenex box. I swear, she had a big wall in her attic stacked three deep with empty kleenex boxes!

I knew this chick since junior high and it only got worse as we grew up. I got the first sniff of "odd" every time we had an overnight at her house. I thought once she got away from her parents, it might change. Nope.

Had an exterminator who baited rat traps with Hershey's syrup on top of peanut butter and swore by it. His traps were always full.

Oh hell yes! But not only do I used a butter knife, I also use my finger. And on top of that, I alternate between the finger and the knife!

I made a trap using a jumbo cheese puff plastic container, bricks, and a paper towel over the opening of the container. My bait was fresh pecans. We had five mice in a row for a short period of time, and the trap worked each time. I did not cover my scent.

Me too. The little bit under the rim (of Smucker's) that you can't reach with a knife or spatula.

Yes, the bricks are the steps. I cut a circle out of the paper towel, using the lid container as an outline. I then put the paper towel over the cheese container opening and lightly tape it. It's sturdy enough to hold a pecan, but light enough for the mouse to drop in the container. Put an inch of vegetable oil in the container so the mouse can't getting footing to jump out.
Funny story. The first time I did this I used a kitchen mixing bowl instead of a container. The bowl was sloped (think of the angle at Soldier Field). It was about 6 inches from bottom to top. It was a simple contraption with just the pecans and well oiled vegetable sides.
Well boy, I underestimated the jumping ability of the mouse. It took two attempts for that mouse to jump out. I was so ticked that a threw a plastic lid at the mouse from the sink. Lo & behold, I actually hit the mouse in the leg. I thought I had broken it's leg, but it was only stunned. I worked it in a jar and put on the lid. Then it went crazy. I saw it up close. People think mice faces are cute? Hell, no! That rat looked like the devil, staring in my eyes!
Another thing. If you do this, make sure you put the lid on the deep container very promptly. I could not believe the jumping power of a mouse, even with the slippery oil. This means sit VERY quietly in the kitchen until the rat appears. My first choice was to pick it off with a BB gun, but too messy and the trap was more effective. And I probably would not hit it anyway. The BB would probably ricochet, break a lite, and hit me in the eye.
btw, I drove a few miles to release all the mice. No reason to kill them, and killing is too messy anyway. One reason I don't kill many house bugs is because I don't like to clean it up. Some will also leave a stain on white paint if you really smash it in. I will kill flies, roaches, and such. I used to release spiders, until I got bit by one doing pull ups on a pine tree branch. Curse those spiders!

Sounds almost like a mouse trap I bought. I use water in the bottom to drown the rodents.
Never worked, so I went back to snap traps.

I buy those spring traps by the dozen, toss mouse and trap when I catch one. I keep a trap baited by the frig at all times. Only have caught three mice this winter though. Usually catch six or more. I don't know how they get in but they always head for the kitchen.

I do the same. The traps are so cheap.
The snap traps are all I need. My dog is super sensitive to the presence of the mice and when she starts that behavior, I set the traps out wherever she is alerting.
