Rodent Control

Mice really do like cheese, and it can be used in mousetraps for controlling a rodent population. The idea of a mouse in the house may be horrifying to some people, but in rural and farming areas it is quite common for mice to get into a house - especially a house that is quite old and may not seal up as well as a new home. Additionally, many farming communities have large barns, and mice will get into barns to keep warm and to look for grain and other things which they can eat. If there is cheese available, they will certainly consume it - and if that cheese is in a properly-baited mousetrap the rodent population will be kept under control. There are other types of mousetraps now, but for people who prefer the old-fashioned "snap traps" there are few bait foods that are more popular than cheese (Ensrud, 1981).

Cheese will always be in demand.

Tyrosemiphilia is the act of collecting cheese labels (McGee, 2004). While it might seem odd to a non-collector, it is a serious hobby in which people engage. Because of that, there are websites and clubs devoted to individuals who do not collect the cheese itself, but only the labels that come off of the cheese products. How practical this particular use for cheese really is remains debatable, but there is some indication that that cheese was used in a practical way before the label was collected. Cheese festivals - particularly those found across France - can be particularly good places to find other cheese label collectors. No matter what a person chooses to do with cheese, and how he or she feels about that particular food, there are always uses for something as versatile and flavorful as Whether you are putting into something you are about to consume, or feeding the mice in your barn, there are options. Working in the cheese industry can also bring.....
