How are you supposed to even set these traps. the plastic pedal just slides off the trigger bar no matter what I do. These are a POS!
Question by: George on Jun 22, 2025, 12:54 PM
Hi, thank you so much for your question—we’re so sorry for the inconvenience. Based on the instructions: You should:
*Release the Arm Bar: Remove the staple and move the arm so it hangs over the back of the trap.
* Bait the Trap: While pre-baited, for best results, apply bait (like peanut butter or hazelnut spread) on the plastic pedal.
* Hold Securely: Pull back the kill bar and hold it securely with your thumb.
* Set the Trap: Place the arm bar over the kill bar and secure it under the plastic pedal. Choose between *Firm* (easier to set, less sensitive) or *Sensitive* (harder to set, more sensitive) settings.

Hi. I’m using 12 of these in my basement and already caught two mice. I’m resetting them and will be reusing them all winter. How often, if at all, should I scoop out the old peanut butter in the bait cup and replace it with new bait? The bait never gets eaten—the mice are dead before they eat anything. Do the mice care if the bait cup has three-month-old peanut butter in it?
Question by: Mike on Oct 29, 2025, 3:38 PM
We recommend using fresh bait for the best results. Applying a pea-sized amount of peanut butter in the bait cup helps maintain effectiveness and attraction. Even if the previous bait was not eaten, refreshing it periodically ensures optimal performance throughout the season.
