Setting the Victor Snap Trap

To view an AVI of setting the Victor Snap Trap, push play on the Windows Media Player.

1. Pull the bow (the spring loaded part) back, holding it down with the thumb of one hand.

2. With your other hand, take the locking bar (the long arm with the curve >in the end that is attached to the back of the trap) and lay it in the center of the spring. Make sure that the curved or cupped part faces downward.

3. Begin to tilt the cheese pedal upward. As you do, you'll notice that the tip the locking bar will engage inside a little box-like opening on the back of the cheese pedal.

4. Slowly release your grip on the bow, the force of which should hold the locking bar inside that little box on the pedal. The trap is now set.

5. There is an "S" and an "F" imprinted on the pedal itself. If you wish the trap to be more sensitive, position the locking bar towards the "S" side of the little box by sliding it that direction. "F" stands for firm (less sensitive).

Tips for Mouse Traps

Rodents enter a home through holes the size of a dime and run along walls, not over open spaces.

1. Place mouse traps perpendicular to the wall.

2. Place mouse traps out unset for a few days so rodents can become familiar with it.

3. Place mouse traps where rodent activity is seen (sign of chewing, droppings, runway, burrow).

4. Leave mouse traps undisturbed for at least two days before moving to a new location.

5. Check mouse traps daily and replace as needed.

6. Wear gloves when disposing of rodent.

Victor Snap Traps- These traditional snap traps have an expanded trigger for those "picky eaters," and it allows you to use a greater range of baits. More surface area means you now have the ability to "smear" baits (such as peanut butter or chocolate) in thin layers for more positive catches. Traps placed across runways are tripped simply when the rodents walk across the pedals.

Tips for Control

The best way to avoid invasions of mice is to (1) provide as little harborage as possible that might attract rodents, and (2) seal as many holes and cracks in the outside of the home through which mice might enter. The following recommendations should be followed to help prevent rodents from seeking the shelter provided by your home:

Keep firewood stored as far from the home as possible and store it off the ground. During the winter, store only enough wood next to the house to burn every couple of days.
If possible, remove any piles of debris, stones, bricks, etc. If these are near the foundation of the home they serve as harborages to attract rodents. Once there, it is any easy step for rodents to enter the building itself.
Do not allow piles of leaves to accumulate next to the homes foundation. This also serves as attractive harborage for rodents - mice in particular.
