Suggestions for using Victor Professional Mouse and Rat Traps
Unlike ordinary snap traps for the homeowner, these traps are specifically designed for professional pest management use. Best results can be achieved by careful attention to the following suggestions.
Be sure the traps are in good mechanical condition. If traps need oil, use animal or vegetable oil rather than a petroleum based compound.
These traps are equipped with a unique setting control which allows you to use a soft or sensitive set for normal situations or a firmer set in situations where vibrating machinery or other manufacturing operations could permanently set of a trap. Trigger sensitivity is determined after setting by simply moving the arm towards the firm or soft position indicated by as letters “F” or “S” on the side of the setting control.
Best results are obtained by baiting the trigger pedal with a small amount of peanut butter.
 Both mouse and rat traps should be set on a hard surface perpendicular to a wall so that the trigger end is towards the wall. Care should be taken to set the traps in areas where there is evidence of recent rodent activity such as fresh droppings, gnawings, rub marks, burrows or urine stains.
One final suggestion. Rats are often shy of new objects and placing baited but unset traps in a new location for a few days will increase the catch. Rat traps should not be relocated once a good location is found as this will set up a new object reaction. Mice are naturally curious so frequent trap relocations will attract their interest.
