FAQs How do I set up a mouse trap? To set up a mouse trap safely, follow these steps: Place the Bait: Begin by applying bait (such as peanut butter, chocolate, or commercial rodent bait) on the bait cup or trigger area. A small amount is enough; overloading may interfere with the trap’s trigger sensitivity. Position the Trap Correctly: Place the trap where you’ve observed mouse activity, ideally along walls or in dark, enclosed spaces. Mice typically travel along walls, so positioning the trap perpendicular to the wall increases the chance of capture. Activate the Trap: Carefully pull back the spring-loaded bar until it locks into place behind the trigger. Ensure your fingers are clear of the trap mechanism while setting it to avoid injury. Check the Trap Regularly: Inspect the trap daily. If a mouse is caught, dispose of it promptly and reset the trap if needed. < All FAQs
