I have this product, lost the instructions. Mice are coming back into my house, how do I set this thing again?

I hope I can help, but I honestly had a hard time with it myself. First, you fold back the wires that lock the trap and drop the straight wire and hold it so the trap doesn't trip. Bait the trap. The trick is to hold that straight wire in place while you hook the long bent wire onto the bent wire that passes through the bottom of the trap. It isn't easy to hold all 3 wires without tripping it.

I have a different way to set. 1) Flip up wires that cover doors, and push down wire with curve to open both doors. Hold open. 2) With other hand, rotate bait tray so it's horizontal, and push in or out so wire connects with other wires. 3) Carefully balance bait wire atop wire with bend. 4) Remove hands. 5) Use long bread knife to gently roll bait onto tray.

It is a little tricky - I actually find it easier to only use one side open - make sure the closed side looks like the picture with the bar locked into the slot so the mouse can't slip out once he is inside. Put the trap where you want it go and then set it once it's moved, it's so sensitive, it usually closes putting it where you want it. You have to play with the "wires" that come out on one side of the trap and the one that is connected to the door needs to rest on the the one connected to the piece inside where you put peanut butter. It's a balancing act and can be hard to set sometimes, but I think that is why it's so effective and will even catch really small ones.

I see you know how to use the internet. Google havahart and there is a video on How To Set traps. Or look on You Tube. Have fun good luck.

I have not needed to program the mouse but I know you can. You need to go to their website and get the directions. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

The USB dongle is well hidden on the underside of the mouse. Pull it out and plug into the port on your computer, add batteries and you should be good to go.

Hi, I got the same problem as you when I first got that mouse. But I found out what happens to mine. So see if this is the same problem for yours too, if it is not then all got to said is "a return to the seller is rightful enough or you could wait for others answers. :)" Anyways let's get to the point. What happens mine is you need to put the on switch so close to the off switch just to make it to work. It seems that they make a poor job on the on switch. So, If you did this and didn't see the three second red light in the middle of the mouse, then it didn't work, but if it does work then, yes, this is how I make mine work and it still working like new even right now. :) Hi, I got the same problem as you when I first got that mouse.

Any should work, but other baits are possible. Have they already caught mice? If so you may need to boil them to get rid of the scent.

I have been using that mouse for a while and I'm actually using now. Had the same issues when I first got it too because I didn't understand it that much. 1. Check battery power levels, your batteries might be about to die. 2. No cheap batteries: I use rechargeable Sanyo Eneloop AAA's with a Lacrosse battery charger so I never have to buy batteries. I know the light is supposed to tell you to change but it sometimes doesn't for me but that's ok for me. 3. Always turn off the off switch under the mouse before shutting down your desktop or if you use a laptop like me, always turn off the switch before closing the laptop. 4. If those don't work, go to your PC settings to disconnect the mouse's sync to your machine completely then re-sync it again. 5. LAST RESORT: If those don't work, you need your money back. lol

I'd like to help very much but I'm not as computer savvy as you would hope!! However I do know this mouse is a crappy thing, it has a mind of it's own & will work if it wants to & won't!! Try another mouse to see if you get the same problem, the mouse I have also had the lights on but yet nobody was home!! Try another mouse from a friend if you don't have one & the best I can tell you is to buy another mouse that's value is $15. or more 7 it doesn't come from any part of Asia!!! Good luck & sorry you have the same bad luck I did!!!

Take the dongle out of the battery port of the mouse and plug it into USB. It should auto-connect after that.

I threw mine away! Piece of junk. Setting it is a huge pain in the .... I bought this little plastic mouse catcher ...you can find it on Amazon. It's green and it works great. Caught three mice in it.

Didnt recieve any software with the mouse and could not locate any. Now, having said that, its fairly easy to set the function for each of the buttons. Simply press the key on the keyboard you want a button to use while holding down the button on the mouse.....wait a minute...I think its the other way round...hold down the keyboard then select the mouse button...hmmm.....cant remember now for sure...&lt;laugh&gt; Doesnt matter, just try either way and whichever one will work.

I'd hope most likely you could get a replacement sent or if not maybe find a spare usb piece. if not that's just plain stupid because that piece is smaller than the tip of my finger. if I didn't use the mouse all the time and keep it plugged in my laptop, that usb would probably been long gone. Oh J Berry, this is how you program the mouse for any computer. First, open the door next to laser lens on bottom, insert 2 AA battery, and return and close lid over battery compartment. Okay! Okay, joking aside, insert USB plug into any USB port you have free(note: easiest to reach, seems to work great). Alright, turn mouse over and find switch which has 3 options; off, on with battery save(no lights), and ON( screw energy saver, this mouse is bomb), turn to either Ons. Bam mouse now works with you pc

Plug the dongle into a USB port. I found my dongle inside the bottom of the mouse just FYI.

There is a slide-off panel on the bottom of the mouse. Remove it and replace the AA battery inside.

Turn the mouse over and on the bottom is a cover marked "OPEN". Use a small coin or fingernail to pry this off. This is where the batteries (2 "AAA") are inserted. Be careful when placing a battery over the small plastic strip to leave a small strip available to make it easier to remove the bottom battery.

I have just recently been using mine- I set it up with food but didn't turn it on for a while to get them used to it. I've only gotten 3 so far, but I also found the red light blinking with nothing inside twice. If it was a small mouse it may not have made contact with more than one plate at a time? Just my guess. I also clean the surface of the plates from the bait crumbs and any dirt between uses. I assume your batteries are still fresh? Good luck.

I am sorry that mouse you got is not working properly. I think that you got a defective unit. I have mine for couple of years now and it works fine.
