You have to set it while its in place, because moving it should set it off. My hubby is a genious at setting them. And thankfully he doesn't mind getting rid of it either.Qtpies7https://www.blogger.com/profile/04612364762900912663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36846651.post-26062017703138239102007-08-08T07:54:00.000-07:002007-08-08T07:54:00.000-07:00My classroom was infested with mice last year that...My classroom was infested with mice last year that liked to leave little "prizes" on my desk, yuck! The sure fire way to catch them is with an old fashioned mouse trap and a piece of Slim Jim-it works everytime!aftergracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13249401281857342192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36846651.post-81703566644786411792007-08-08T07:52:00.000-07:002007-08-08T07:52:00.000-07:00Bread.

They have a preference to grain products. I agree with your S-I-L make sure it gets in the toothy part. <BR/><BR/>Also if you have the easy release traps scrap them, they work only a fraction of the time. The old school ones are better. If releasing from those grosses you out, put newspaper under it and just throw it and the paper away.<BR/><BR/>The expensive and less gross alternative which we had great results with was the electic trap (I used a Lowe's gift card to buy it). It was effective and you just dumped it. Jonathan almost killed me for buying it, but I hate mice and it was my gift card.<BR/><BR/>Also, is your number different since you moved?Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06803093896336175906noreply@blogger.com
