Live capture tilting mouse trap - easy print without supports

thingiverse

Easy to print and works like a charm. Place a small glob of peanut butter inside the circle in the lid, then set the trap in place. Positioning it near a wall is helpful as well as placing the rear end close to something that will prevent the mouse from jumping on top and triggering it without getting caught. I often set multiple traps at once and sometimes manage to catch two mice. If you experience false triggering, add some weight to the door end by taping a coin onto it. If the bait disappears and the trap isn't triggered, it's possible that the bait fell off, allowing the mouse to access it without fully entering the trap. Try again and consider adding weight to the other end. I also wash my hands before attaching the cap so that any lingering scents don't attract the mice to the outside of the trap. This may not be a crucial step, but I've found that it helps me catch a lot more mice than I would otherwise.
