Peanut butter is one of the most effective baits. Pieces of apple or other fruit, vegetable, or a nutmeat can also be used as bait. Securely attach these baits to a string and hang it at the rear of the Tomahawk Collapsible Trap Model 201 (Gopher sized animals). You can increase the attractiveness of most baits by scattering about 1/2 teaspoon of rolled oats on and around the trap. Check the traps every 24 hours and apply fresh bait. If more than two or three days go by without catching anything, freshen your bait and move the trap to a new location.
