Plain Old Victor Mouse Traps ?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Maybe I am missing something and obviously don't know what I am doing.
I have baited countless plain old ordinary Victor Mouse Traps; the kind with the Copper bait holder/trigger thingie.

I have successfully caught thousands of mice with these traps.

However, for the last several years, as delivered, where the cheese goes is a tightly rolled and clinched together toothed business that is useless for attaching any kind of bait that I know of.

I have to firmly hold the Copper thingie while I force the point of a 1/4-inch Wood Chisel in under the rolled crimped toothed thingie and raise/straighten it into a wider-mouthed "U" shape where I press in my cheese.

Once I overhaul them, they work fine = hair-triggered and deadly = so sensitive that my heart-beat will set them off while I am trying to place them.

Is there good reason for the traps to be made as they are ?

Am I the only human alive who doesn't know the trick and am resorting to re-working them so I can use them ?

For me, my way works, whereas the as-delivered is worthless.
