(591 posts)You twist it to set it. They have a spring action so once that mice is in it snaps shut. The mouse is dead and encased in the trap so you never have to see it or touch it. If the trap is closed, there is a dead mouse inside. Just toss the whole thing. Oh, and peanut butter is the best bait. They love it. One time when I was doing a lot of baking and had bought bulk size peanut butter for making peanut butter cookies and had it stored in a lower cabinet along with the bulk flour and sugar. The mice got into the flour a little but theyd chewed the lid edges of the peanut butter jar all the way around until they were able to get into the peanut butter. Theyd accomplished this in just a few days! Pissed me off I had to toss all of that. But those traps with peanut butter bait work great. I think they are Tom Cat brand.
