| Keith's Pro Tip | "For best results, create a trail with bait from outside the trap to the Trigger Plate. Place bait approximately two inches from the back of the trap. Do not place bait on the trigger plate. If you have difficulty reaching the back of the trap, place trap on its end, and drop bait into the trap." |
