Easy Set® Mouse Trap (Cheese Pedal): Model M035

1. Pull the bow (the spring loaded part) back, holding it down with the thumb of one hand.

2. With your other hand, take the locking bar (the long arm with the curve >in the end that is attached to the back of the trap) and lay it in the center of the spring. Make sure that the curved or cupped part faces downward.

3. Begin to tilt the cheese pedal upward. As you do, you'll notice that the tip the locking bar will engage inside a little box-like opening on the back of the cheese pedal.

4. Slowly release your grip on the bow, the force of which should hold the locking bar inside that little box on the pedal. The trap is now set.

5. There is an "S" and an "F" imprinted on the pedal itself. If you wish the trap to be more sensitive, position the locking bar towards the "S" side of the little box by sliding it that direction. "F" stands for firm (less sensitive).

Electronic Rat Trap: Model M240

Directions for Use:
1. Using a plastic or wooden knife, insert a small amount of peanut butter through a bottom hole on the back plate. Allow a small portion of the peanut butter to extend through the hole - rats are very cautious, and this provides an opportunity for the rat to sample the peanut butter without entering the trap.

2. Insert 4 "C" batteries into battery compartment.

3. Identify location with rat activity - look for worn trails or walkways. Place trap on floor against wall, the entrance in-line with the trail; rats prefer to travel against a wall. 4. Turn switch to “On” position (-). Unit will hum, and the green light will flash once, indicating that unit has been enabled. To prevent incidental shock avoid contact with metal plates.
