Ever seen those videos on you tube showing people with night vision on pellet guns setting up in barns at night? Looks like a blast.

Sounds like the trigger needs adjusting. You want it so that ANY contact, no matter how light, will set it off.

In my bachelor days I had a "trap line" of a dozen traditional wooden Victors. I had the triggers set so light that they'd often go off if I walked by them too fast. Every morning half of the traps would be full.

I eventually got tired of the BS and brought home a Manx cat..................no more mices.

Here in Northern Minnesota and at the Summer house in NW Ontario we use a water anti freeze 50-50 mixture in the bucket, Keeps the liquid from freezing and the little bastids from stinking when you're not around to empty the catch bucket every couple of days.

I was getting a dozen raccoons, Eastern gray squirrels, rats, and crows.

Then the wife said I would just running a bird feeder to attract pests so I could kill them.

She was right, and 2017 has been mostly just mice.
