Thank you Lorraine. I did not manage to catch the mouse but it did die between the floor boards. A few weeks later I had a fly infestation in the house. I gave up counting dead 🪰 after 2oo. Every day I sealed my bedroom after spraying fly spray and Every night I counted them before vacuuming them all up ! Hard to beat nature !!!

So, just successfully set my first mouse trap!! This video made me feel more confident in what to do for sure! Although of the 4 traps I set, one of them the bar wouldn’t reach the latch without me bending the bait pad some and it’s definitely elevated more than it should be now. But I think that’s either something I’m missing or a victor error.

This video was great! I live in an area where it's common for field mice to sneak their way in. My cats usually capture them, but this one has been hiding in our stove top. We don't use the stove or the oven because it's broken and we haven't had the money to replace it.

@Jose B they LOVE in-between the stove top and the oven. It's pre-made home for the little suckered. Insulated and never gets hot... if they have moved in there, you have to super sanitize in there, as roden urine and feces carry nasty bugs that can make you very sick. Learned that one the hard way sadly....

This is the exact trap brand that I use! Very excited to find this video so easily!
