Vick's, mustard, and peanut butter won't do shit. Their smell picks up each individual odor (each ingredient) unlike ours, which just smells the overall result. So they'd smell peanut butter and weed individually...or whatever you try to use.

You can MAYBE "diffuse" them with dog/cat/coyote/almost any mammal urine since they'll go crazy sniffing it. But I've only heard of that in the case where people spray it on their car tires in case they get pulled over while transporting...will distract the dog (hopefully).
