This is the only one of my paste bait's that I have made mild enough to lead the animal into the trap with. You can trail this paste into the trap, from the hole on the roof, or the ground. PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS THE ONLY NE OF MY PASTE BAITS THAT YOU CAN LET THE ANIMAL EAT BEFORE CROSSING THE PAN OF THE TRAP, ALL OTHERS MAY SMELL GREAT, BUT IF YOU LET THEM HAVE IT PRIOR TO GETTING CAUGHT IT WILL LEAVE A BITTER TASTE IN THEIR MOUTH, RESULTING IN THEM BACKING OUT OF THE TRAP.
