Good effect despite excessive processing

When the trap I was initially a little skeptical arrived. The lid is nich worked very fit so that you can only fully open it if you with a little brute force to bend the sheet back.
But since I wanted the mouse ("marched" through the open cellar door) take off soon I decided against having a return, since the other construction seemed promising to me.
Whether the cold temperatures (the area in which the mice stay is unheated) I've done a strip old linoleum floor and a bit of toilet paper in the case (the production of sheet metal is optimally against dogged but extremely cold).
In the case I have some peanut butter and a slice of pizza draped on both sides with the fingers of peanut butter to the "entrance door" spotted (so they can no longer get out when they reach the bait).
Then I have the case placed next to the dryer where the animals had nibbled a couple of towels and could marvel at 4 this morning some beady eyes;)

One reviewer wrote of a failure but also from the fact that the "bait feed" was in front of the case and in the entrance area sown.
This is in my opinion the error:
Mice are very sensitive and if the cold metal on which they collect piece by piece feed "wobble" (in which case you get a "rocker mechanism") then the scares these shy creatures probably from.
Therefore: highly tasty bait in the trap and at the "point of no return" interpret.
Up event in a safe place close to the wall, then it is without question a very well-functioning case.

An application tip for particularly prudent mice in good demarcated areas (eg rooms whose door you can simply close):

Increase studies and reproducible experiences have shown that the impulse for the mammals usually are willing to forget all caution, and even "seeing eye to race in the fall" is the thirst.

If you have mice in a confined area where you can make sure that they find no water, can be served outside the trap chips, bacon or other "Salzigkeiten".
IN the case then comes tomato, melon, ... something to "drink" halt.
Erfahrungsgenmäß go to the trick even rats in the dussligesten wire box traps.
