Victor Mouse Snap Trap M325

Inside or Outside

Placing Traps

1. Perpendicular to the wall-Traps extending from the wall at a right angle with the trigger end nearly touching the wall.

2.Parallel to the wall-Set them in pairs with the triggers situated to intercept rodents coming from either direction.


3.They can also be fastened with wire to overhead rafters, beams, tree limbs,
and on top of the gutters along the roof line.


4. These traps are equipped with a unique setting control which allows you to use a soft
or senstive set for normal situations or a firmer set in situations where vibrating
machinery or other manufacturuing operations could prematurely set off a trap.

Trigger sensitivity is determined after setting by simply moving arm toward
the firm or soft postion indicated as letters"F" or "S" on the side of the setting control.
Futher adjustments cna be made by slightly bending the trigger arm.



5.Care should be taken to set traps in areas where there is evidence of recent rodent
activity such as fresh droppings,gnawings,rub marks,burrows, or urine stains.

Use a variety of baits

Although professional traps do not need to be baited, baiting will increase the catch rate in certain situations. Both a bait trough and a bait hook are provided on the trigger petal.

In areas where there is not a readily available food source, use baits that will cause a strong aroma: peanut butter, bacon, nut, Provoke Lure,etc. If the bait is solid, use dental floss to tie it to the trigger. Rodents can easily remove unsecured bait.

Where food is abundant, try using nesting material such as cotton, Styrofoam , or any other soft material secured to the trap. Vanilla extract on top of this nesting material would also attract them to it. The Victor Snap trap with the expanded plastic trigger does not need to be baited if properly placed.

Tips

1. Always make sure that you have the right sized trap for either mice or rat.

2. Insects may be taking the bait, without setting off the trigger. To check for rodent activity around the trap, use a little dust (such as flour ) around the area
for tracking signs. Using a Mice Size Glue Board around the area would also catch the insects.

3. Be sure traps are in good mechanical condition. If traps need oil, use animal or vegetable oil rather
than a petroleum based compound.
