Sometimes these traps refuse to reset, any thoughts to alleviate this problem?

Yes... I found that if I simply lift the extra large lever trigger it resets with utmost ease. Sorry that I have to touch that part that the mouse touches to trigger the snap, but that is the way to reset it!

I have not had this problem and do not know if there is a reset button. Have you checked with the manufacturer? Let me know how this will be resolved. Good luck. It is a good machine and very well worth the money.

Mine had issues until I put fresh batteries in it. They weren't old, and I didn't think they needed changed but it worked. If that doesn't work, try the reset button.

There is a small hole on the side of the Striiv....put the end of a paperclip in there and push. That will reset the unit.

Sorry, I do not have an answer for that without knowing the circumstances. Maybe the traps are not filled with enough water ?? I never had problems with any of mine. Wish I could be of more help...

You could try cycling the power or shine a flashlight on the sensor to reset it.I took mine out as they were unreliable.

I would tape a ampule to a cheap mouse trap, and try to rig a trip wire off of the catch on the trap. I hope that it helps you.

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.

Hi Yes - they sent a thingy that looked like a straw right? That's what you use to punch holes where it looks like they should be punched.Absent that your trap won't work.Good luck!

You must have super rodents or speedy gonzalez then because I've never had that problem. You can test the trap yourself by using a stick/pencil etc. I had problem with bugs eating the peanut butter I put in mine, a roach won't set it off of course.

I would suggest that after reading the operating information for the trap, that you redirect this question to the manufacturer. I am not going to be on their tech support team. I think the basic idea behind the traps might be ultimately effective, but maybe the implementation in the hardware is less than optimal.

Sorry,can't help you there.I never used the trap (wrong insect). I would think that the seller could answer this question.

There's a reset button on the side....gotta open up one of the sides and use something small to push the reset button in the pinhole.

I wipe mine inside and out with one of those bleach wipes every 4-5 kills. Obviously turn the unit off first. Much better than snap traps, glue pads and the so called humane traps. This is the only thing that worked for me.

Hey man sometimes they need to be reset take off the face and push the little reset button on the deck and you should be good as new( like you will then have to reset all your presents) hope this works

I am troubleshooting it to see how I can respond and help you with this question. Make sure you pull the lever to the plate where they step on as far back as possible, then hook it onto the hinge lever and test it. That seems to be the only way these traps work. ai have many years working with these kind of traps rescuing stray cats....

I haven't had success with the trap myself. The rabbit has actually taken the bait without tripping the mechanism. Try putting some petroleum jelly on the bars so there is no friction. It can't hurt and might work.
