Every year they are plagued with mice in the house, and told us a 'funny' story of how the mice keep them up at night, rustling in the empty crisp packets on the bedroom floor..! So I live with permanent Fenn traps in the garden, and mouse traps in the house. Though to be honest, dispite next-door, I'd have them set anyway. That looks a painful lol good trapping 1 Quote Link to post

Bosun11 537 Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 54 minutes ago, dodger said: How do they work do they just clip on looks good nice catch You simply find a bait that the arm spike (at the bottom) can go right through until it touches the base. Then raise the bar, and lock it in to the clip at the top. If the arm spike is not fully through the bait, it won't lock. Once locked, the rat will raise the arm trying to remove the bait, and bingo..! Liquorice Allsorts are good bait, I've used apple, dates, cooked chicken etc. Usually, smear a bit of peanut butter/chocolate spread & coconut oil around it too, just to make sure...
