Agreed! I grabbed this link for a female friend and watching it realized I'd been loading them wrong (putting peanut butter over the whole yellow plate) and just thought that the catches were more difficult to set than the older metal bait models... I had no idea there was a sensitivity setting. Still worked though!

These are more difficult to setup than the old style metal trap, however the mouse does not even get to the sampling phase before the trap closes in after the mouse puts any weight on the yellow paddle, much better design. Thriller to setup.
I appreciate the advantage of not leaving your scent on the trap, but isn't our scent all over the food they eat and spoil?

I was with the 95% of commenters who thought these things were impossible to set and use until I actually WATCHED the video. The presenter doesn't say it (and should) ... when you hook the metal wire under the yellow pad you have to LIFT UP ON THE YELLOW PAD. If you do this, it connects perfectly without accidentally snapping shut. I was leaving the yellow pad flat and of course the metal wire was not long enough to connect. Set 6 of these and within a night caught 3 mice using all I had in the house ... Laughing Cow cheese spread ... which probably has no protein and very little scent but apparently attracts mice! Try again ... these do work.

Yes, that absolutely does NOT help. I was doing that anyway. No matter where you place the end of the bar it does not hold, just snaps back. Obviously the plastic is angled so that it does work for a few people, so the manufacturing of it must be highly inconsistent.

I've caught a few mice with these traps.

Thanks for the instruction. I always used way too much bait over most of the yellow platform instead of the little hole, which may make these traps even better. I always set them on sensitve and put them down very gently with my fingers out of the way. These are the most effective sensitive traps I have ever used and I recommend them for simple reliable effectiveness.

The comments are amusing. I was almost persuaded away from trying these, but at $5 for a four pack I had little to lose. It took 10 seconds to figure out you need to tip the bait trigger up (simply tilt the entire trap back, no need to risk your fingers) for the bar to reach where it needs to. They work well. I caught two mice first night I put them out. Easy peasy.
Agreed. I have set dozens of mouse traps and the fake yellow cheese ones work about one out of three new ones. How difficult can it be to get this right so they can be set 100% of the time like the older ones with brass bait holder? Geez.
Thank you so much for these clear and simple instructions - I was really struggling LOL. After watching my traps were easily set and are baited and ready to go. I did not realize there was a sensitive side and a firm side so the trap was springing just by setting it down.
These traps are amazing. Worth every penny and peanut butter does the trick.
For anyone having trouble setting these, this was the solution for me. Hold the arm bar straight to where the bend at the end of the arm bar is pointing down. (like shown @0:36 of this video, but do not place under the yellow pedal yet). Then using your fingers, push down on the middle of the arm bar a bit to where you create just a very slight bend. Once you do that, then follow the steps as shown into this video, using the left side as shown @0:40. You'll still have to finagle with the pedal and bar a little bit, but you should then be able to get the bar to where it will stay put under the pedal as you let pressure off of the kill bar, and the pedal will stay elevated as well. Trap set. Used this method and had success. Mouse dead by the following morning.

I had to tip up the yellow pad a little bit more than what it showed on the video otherwise it's almost impossible to get the bar to lock underneath
Thanks! I was lucky enough to set up one trap but I wanted to set another one and almost lost a finger, but I will always note to keep my fingers away from the kill plate area
It worked very well for me. I use a knife to put peanut butter in the gap on the yellow plastic part. I do not use glove because I have less dexterity to manipulate the metal bar and hold the yellow plastic part at the same time. I catched three mouse already. I set the metal bar on the sensitive side of the yellow plastic part (the right side). It is true that it is a little tricky at the beginning, however once I got the hang of it, it works very well. The most important thing to not getting hurt is to avoid putting one’s finger in the trajectory of the kill bar. Once it is set, hold it by the sides of the wooden part walk gently and gently deposit it on the flat surface.
For people who think it’s hard to set, I had the same problem but you just need to tilt the trap back or just lift up the yellow part after the bar is underneath and it sets easily

That's the big I was struggling with, I put the arm under the metal bit supporting the yellow pedal. I've never had to do this before so..hege
They can't seem to get it right. With the last set I bought, the mice were able to take the bait without the traps going off. As others have noted, this year's batch are impossible to set. The bar will not stay under the yellow pedal; it doesn't matter which side you put it on (left or right). Prepare to get your fingers snapped over and over. On those rare times when the bar stays put, the trap goes off when it is placed on the ground. On those ultra-rare times when it can be put on the ground without snapping, it goes off in a few seconds by itself. The only way I could get the bar to stay put was to take a pliers and bend the end of the bar up slightly. The question now is whether it will go off when a mouse goes for bait. I would also like to note that this video has important details that are nowhere on the packaging. I guess Victor thinks it is better to have incomplete instructions in 5 languages rather than a complete set of instructions in 1 language?

Some went off by themselves. In a few cases, the mice were able to take the bait unscathed. A lot of them did work once modified as described above. Forgot to mention that it also helps to rough up the end of the bar a bit with the pliers, to help it stick in the paddle. Nice of Victor to make their customers feel included by allowing them to supply the missing steps in the manufacturing and QA process :-)

Instructions unclear, the mouse has trapped my hand and it hurts.
I have had it with inferior manufacturing .I bought a boxful of these and fully half of them will not remain set as soon as I let go of the pedal after setup they trip.ask me how many times my fingers have been hammered.once or twice isn’t bad but 6 or 8 times is frustrating and painful.
Working on it, will update you soon. I can hear some promising noises

It's not very hard. Use your right hand to hold the kill bar back bait side facing away from you. Grip the thing like a racket to make sure its not going anywhere. Then bring the support bar into the clip with your left hand. Set the bait using your left hand with a knife while still holding the kill bar with your right hand. Keep your fingers away from the bait side at all costs (obviously). If you're struggling to get the bar set, try angling the trap differently until you can see and feel the bar grab. With your left hand, pinch the end of the trap opposite of the bait from under the kill bar so you're only holding wood (never put your fingers on the bait side!) and carefully release your fingers on your right hand. Now you're free to put it wherever you want.

TIP- While you are pulling the kill bar back. Try to push the back of the arm bar where the loop is all the way to the left and then push the front of the arm bar all the way to the left as well holding both ends of the bar at the same time for the "firm" setting and then lift the yellow plastic up a bit until you feel there's tension between that and the front of the arm bar ...then release it ..keeping your fingers away from harm of the spring. Don't worry if it fails, just try again...You'll get use to the snapping of the trap, just remember to keep your fingers safe. I find this is the easiest way.

I caught 4 mice in 2 days using these snap traps, which were invented in the 19th century I believe. You really can't improve much on a good initial design.

What I've liked about the black snap traps is how easy they are to open and release the dead mouse. What this doesn't show is how to release once it's snapped? Do you have to use something to pry it up? Does it need to be washed to get rid of dead mouse smell for the next catch?

I used a spatula to angle the paddle so that it would catch on the arm bar without risking my fingers getting snapped - it's finnicky and sensitive but all four I tried did set.
Really hard to get the Arm bar over the Kill bar, the Arm bar is very Short and it does not stay under the Kill bar - tried several times and couple of close calls :) If anyone has advice on this part, or if there is a Video that shows how to SLOWLY show this Critical part would much appreciate !
I legit caught one within 5 seconds of setting it
Not sure why so many complaints.I just set mine for the first time in my 63 years I have a mouse.I set it with slim Jim meat and went to bed and it snapped his neck within 45 minutes.I heard the snap and looked on the stove and he was dead.Put his dead ass outside.I hated killing him but it was gross having him here.Still searching for the entrance point.Hoping it was just one as that is what the evidence looks like.I fed squirrels and blue jays peanuts in the shell everyday so somehow this guy found a way in the house and ripped open the bag twice to get a peanut.I no longer will feed the squirrels and blue jays.
So she touches every part of the trap with her hands and then says to be careful that your scent is not transferred to the trap??

God, damn it! I didn't know there were different setting in this trap. My mice have been walking away with bait!
Had to bend the tip of the wire up slightly so it would hold. It will work.
Thanks
With the trap I bought, the "F" position for the arm bar is sensitive and the "S" position is firm. Try it yourself without using that scary kill bar. Hook the arm bar under the "S" & "F" sides in turn, applying pressure to the arm bar with a finger under it. Then gently touch the bait platform to determine which settings are firm and sensitive.
Def harder to set than metal trigger but do work,did not know it had a setting

Sent my dad to get traps, came back with these. The pair were defective and would not stick. The arm wasnt long enough and the lip of the trigger was way to small. Had to make some modifications by bending the trigger closer. After doing that they finally stuck but still werent sticking that great because of the lip being so small. We shouldn't need to do any modifications. If it doesn't go off by accident and catches something, i guess i got what i paid for.

the whole 'sensitive' and 'firm' crap is a joke, if you can get it set and it stays set, it should be okay. Only thing to be mindful of is bending the bar too much making the hook catch too firmly (thus not snapping on the mouse). I hate this design with a passion.
Fried chicken skin. Mice won't even wait until it's safe to come out.
LoL how many comments are as if they only have one mouse! Like _"Yay - caught my first mouse!!"_ etc. These plastic things wear out after a few workings because the plastic where the wire rests against gets rounded. It is a very soft plastic. A metal-to-metal trigger is needed.
I have tried and tried and my Handyman has tried to set these traps, we cannot do it. I have set these traps in the past but perhaps not this time. All I have our snaps fingers!
Accidentally stepped on one…
Just set up the 4 mouse traps after watching this video 😅 i hope it works.. little mickey is stubborn and always visit my home without notice 😅..so lets see if i can caught him 😅.
These traps are so sensitive, the breath from a mouse yawning will set them off.
Okay, at 00:35, her finger is right there - ready to be snapped, if her thumb slips. Don't do that (I found that out the hard way). Better to just hold the trap vertical and the yellow plate/trigger thing will drop forward and you can set it then.
The release wouldn't work. We slammed a pen down onto it multiple times, which is about 100 times harder than the force a mouse would apply. The only thing that got it to snap was my 200 pound brother slamming his foot down on it. Garbage.
Don't waste your money. Bought two, neigher went off. Oh yes, they snapped initially and were very sentetive when I first and carefully put them down and slowly up again a wall in where the mouse was. I guess they only work or snap once. I fed a mouse a whole lot of peanut butter and the trap never went off. Slammed it with the end of a broom handle. Took a few big jabs. Ya, not going to catch a mouse that way.
Mouse trap? More like death trap? What was wrong with the original all metal style that worked for 100 years?
been trying to set one trap for over 3 hours, its impossible
These new fangled mouse traps SUCK!! It's incredible that I had to resort watching a video on how to set it. I figured how to set the original version with a metal tab when I was a child.
I have this and iT's failed five out of six times. iT would have helped if I watched this first. The sensitivity of the setting really matters.
I have to be missing something. “It’s so easy” right? I am not seeing how the metal bar forms any type of latch with the yellow part. I’m bending things every which way and nothing I’m doing is causing the trap to be set. These things are garbage. I’ve had better luck with the “pro catcher” series on Amazon
