once the animal is caught and released, how to disinfect the cage and get rid of the smells that it left to warn others.

I use a dilute vinegar/water/liquid soap mix: 2:6:1. Kills odors perfectly, and disinfects as well

Traps should be washed and disinfected with a bleach solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts of water and let it remain on for 20 minutes). After the 20 minutes, thoroughly rinse the trap. This can be done after each catch to help stop the spread of any potential disease.

Buy a cheap aluminum baking sheet for the bottom to provide a way to keep the cage clean. You can easily lift that part of the cage to remove, clean and re insert the tray!.

Hang the Bird Bath on the largest cage opening, you may have to coax the Bird in on the first time, once he gets acclimated to it he will enjoy it. You will enjoy no messy clean up.

I used about a palm full of food inside of the cage, opposite end of the trap door. You dont want to put the food directly on the other end otherwise they will pull the food out. You need to give them a reason to go inside to grab the food. I did not have to cover the cage and I was able to move a family of 5 from my area. Haven't had any issues since.

Observe the photograph of the trap. There are wire fixtures on each end that flip down and engage in tabs to hold the doors closed. When you want to release the trapped animal, you flip those wires up. When you want to trap, you flip them to the outsides so when the doors fall, the wires drop into the locking position. You probably just have them flipped the other way. Flip them to the outsides when setting the trap and you should be all good.

Yep! It just has hooks that you can attach to the cage. It comes unattached for packaging purposes, so if you don't want to put it in you can just leave it out. Just know that if you do put it in, you have to place it in the bottom of the cage before putting the top part on, as it can not fit through the doors.

Instructions say they are to be slit open some so rodent can smell it better. Supposedly has a "fishy" odor. Also says not to use where pets can get to it.

Over time they all pick up the odors. The only thing I think of is airing it out and spray them with A scent of some kind.

Removes the smell so the dog doesn't associate a part of the house with urination ... so it aids in training them to potty outside.

This trap after adding water leaves a smell of dead or spoiled meat which flies love. I don't know what the vinegar will do. When you dispose the bag you close the lid so not much will get out..Maybe add the vinegar before you throw away. I am going to try that. Thanks for the tip about the larvae.

Just snip off the end of the packet and drop the packet in a "hidden" place so the critters can get at it. Unfortunately, you may get rewarded with an odor in a week of so.....

Every night when I got home I removed the pads, wiped it down with Nature's Miracle if anything had soaked through, and let it air overnight before puppy had access to it again; I never had a problem with lingering odor. If disinfecting with your preferred cleaner (Lysol, bleach or vinegar) doesn't work, the odor is in the pores of the plastic and it's time to toss it.

the odor might come from the plastic bag,you can air it for a while ,it will go away.

After each use you are supposed to clean it inside and outside with hot soap, lysol and bleach. There could be deadly virus and bacterias that are salt tolerant waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting victim

once you get the smell it is hard to get out!!! What i have done to get the mildew or wet dog smell out is soak similar colors for up to an hour or overnight is they are close colors...i have had problems with the colors leaking onto lighter colors...so make sure they are similar. I would use a big heaping scoop in a bucket of hot water and soak away and wash in hot water with another scoop after soaking. took care of my stuff:) Hope I helped!! OOh and as the person below said vinegar is amazing!!! I just wash it once with vinegar, wash again with baking soda if needed, then another round with detergent also...that is for the really bad stuff. once you get the smell it is hard to get out!!!

Cooking fish with window or door slightly open will help remove odor pretty quickly. Otherwise, it is not too offensive.

You don't. Just keep animal away from rooms you spray for a couple of hours so it can dry . This product works...just not for the 7 months as advertised.
