FAQs
Where is the best place to set the trap?
Place it along walls, behind appliances, or in corners where you see signs of activity, such as droppings or gnaw marks.
What is the best bait to use?
High-protein foods like peanut butter, chocolate, or hazelnut spreads are typically most attractive to mice.
Is the Little Nipper reusable?
Yes, the trap can be reused multiple times if cleaned properly and handled with care.
Why should I wear gloves?
Wearing gloves prevents transferring human scent onto the trap, which can make mice suspicious and avoid the device.
Can this be used outdoors?
It is designed for indoor use. Outdoor use may lead to traps being triggered by non-target animals or environmental factors.
Troubleshooting
Trap is triggered but empty
The mouse may be approaching from the side. Ensure the trap is positioned with the treadle flush against the wall so the mouse must pass over it.
Bait is gone but trap did not fire
The treadle sensitivity may need adjustment or the bait was applied too heavily. Use only a tiny amount of bait to force the mouse to apply direct pressure to the trigger.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set the Little Nipper, pull back the spring-loaded bar and secure it using the metal locking arm. Apply a small amount of bait—such as peanut butter or a high-protein spread—directly onto the treadle. Always wear gloves during handling to avoid transferring human scent to the trap, which can deter mice. After a catch, dispose of the rodent according to local sanitary regulations. To keep the trap in working order, store it in a dry place when not in use and occasionally check the spring tension to ensure it still snaps with sufficient force.
