"Anytime a mouse is not attracted to a trap during a hunt there is a chance for the cheese to turn stale. Some components are built using harmful chemicals that increase the odds of spoiling bait. Traps with a positive cheese effect help reduce the likelihood of cheese turning stale."
The cheese effect of bases and weapons determines the rate at which baited cheese goes stale. The cheese effect is calculated by averaging the effect of both the base and weapon together. For example, pairing a Stone Base (Fresh Effect), with a Mouse DeathBot (Stale Effect), results in a cheese effect of "No Effect". All averages are rounded down, so a Fresh component with a No Effect component will result in an average of "No Effect".
A baited cheese has a chance of turning stale whenever it fails to attract a mouse, regardless of the cheese effect. Only the currently baited cheese is under the cheese effect. All other cheese in your inventory is not affected. Thus the time since you purchased the cheese also has no bearing on when it will go stale.
A by-product of cheese going stale is Stale Cheese, a crafting item. Players can pick up different kinds of stale cheese, depending on the type of cheese that has gone stale.
