How To Use The OWLTRA Tunnel Snap Mouse Trap

Baiting
Use a cotton swab or a toothpick to put a high-protein bait, such as peanut butter, at the far end of the tunnel.
Setting the trap
Press the back pedal down until the trap is set.
Placement
Place it where you have seen signs of mice, or along the wall where they travel.
Disposal and resetting
Use the touch-free release to drop the mouse in the trash, then wash the trap with warm, soapy water to reuse it.
