Q16: After placing there for few days, no mouse entered into the trap.
A: One of our clients suggested the following method for training mouse
to enter into the trap: “I take the time to train the rat to go in. With the
trap set to OFF: First I put a small amount of food near the entrance. Once
they eat that I put a small amount of food near the entrance and first plate.
When they have eaten that I put a small amount of food near the entrance and
middle plate. When they have eaten that I put a small amount of food near the
entrance, the bait dish and a very small amount just in front of the bait
dish. When they have eaten that I put a small amount of food near the
entrance, the bait dish and a very small amount just in front of the bait dish
(two sunflower seeds). I turn the trap ON and by the next morning l’ve got a
dead rat. A little patience goes a long way. It helps if the bait is something
they really like. They love my bird’s food, mixed seeds. They seem to like
safflower & sunflower seeds the best.”
Q17: Bait area plastic was chewed up by rats.
A: Please contact us to replace the part bitten by the rats.
Q18: Can the trap be put under sunshine?
A: The battery compartment should be kept away from direct sunlight
