FAQs
Are these traps safe to use around pets?
These traps are powerful and could injure curious pets. They should be placed in areas inaccessible to animals, such as behind heavy appliances or inside secure, enclosed bait stations.
What is the best bait to use?
High-scent foods like peanut butter, chocolate, or a small piece of dried fruit work best with the removable bait plug.
How often should I check the traps?
Check traps at least once every 24 hours to ensure hygiene and maintain humane control standards.
Can these be used outdoors?
They are designed for indoor use. Outdoor exposure to weather may affect the spring mechanism and trap performance.
How do I clean the traps?
They can be washed with warm, soapy water. Ensure the trap is completely dry before re-baiting and setting.
Troubleshooting
Trap triggers but is empty
Reduce the amount of bait used and ensure the bait is pressed firmly into the plug so it cannot be easily licked off.
Mice are avoiding the traps
Ensure the traps are placed flush against walls and move them to a different location if no activity is detected after 48 hours.
Lever is difficult to set
Clear any debris or dried bait from the hinge area of the trap and ensure the surface below the trap is completely flat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set the trap, first remove the bait plug from the base, add a small amount of bait, and reinsert it securely. Place the trap on a flat, level surface with the opening facing the wall, as mice prefer to travel along edges. To set the mechanism, press the lever at the rear until the trap clicks. When it comes time to clean, simply hold the trap over a waste bin and depress the release lever to drop the contents. The plastic construction is waterproof and can be washed with warm, soapy water and a brush to remove odors before resetting for future use. Always wear gloves during the handling and cleaning process as a standard safety precaution.
