[QUOTE="HFS, post: 2643755, member: 8862"] I've used little bit of peanut butter on a small mouse trap, but there's one trick to it -- these new mouse traps nowadays have a HEAVY trigger pull, if you will, to set them off. Just like a lot of new guns. On the Victor mouse traps, I take needle nose pliers and bend the…copper looking, I guess…latching part just a wee bit, until it just barely holds, to give the trap a hair trigger. After that, watch your fingers! P.S. -- To be able to put that hair trigger mouse trap into the corner or under the edge of a cabinet, I cut a piece of cardboard, and load and cock the trap while it's sitting on the cardboard, on the table or the counter. Then I pick up the piece of cardboard, with the cocked mouse trap, and put it where I want it to go. [/QUOTE]
