Is the lure supposed to just stick to the side of the trap, so that one side is stuck flat against it or should it be suspended on the edge?

The lure simply needs to be dropped inside the trap so that it lands on one of the sticky sides. The lure does not need to be orientated in any special way.

For our household, these traps did not work. Clothes Moths were not attracted. I was disappointed. Sorry.

You want the lure tiny square to be flat in the middle of one sticky side. The lure is the smell that will attract the moth. And he will get close to it and get stuck.

I do not know why the lures I received did not attract moths. They have work very well for me in the past and I ordered four of them. Would appreciatereply from SAFER

I don't think so. There are two metal plates toward the back of the trap by the bait. It's only when a mouse/rat crawls in there far enough that they step on both plates, completing the circuit, and get shocked. Something going in only two/few inches wouldn't connect both plates.

Search Amazon for "Pentair 84900300" to see a helpful image. The flat side faces away from the pool (into the skimmer hole). On mine I had to start with the rounded side down to CAREFULLY snap the "hinge" openings down over the pivot pegs on the skimmer body (with the "hinge" end away from the pool). Then CAREFULLY rotate the weir away from the pool, past the top of the skimmer body (tight fit). It ends up with the weir tilted away from the pool with the rounded side "up". The weir is buoyant, so the water rushes shallowly over the rounded side into the skimmer, but it floats enough to keep leaves and bugs from drifting back into the pool if waves are sloshing in and out of the skimmer.

The tines are rounded and run the same direction as the hook so if the idea is to have the hook be perpendicular to the fence, it won't be flush.

no bait is needed. You place the hole against a wall, so the mice will go thru it and become trapped.

I don't reach in, I hold the trap open side up and drop the bait in, then tip to horizontal making sure bait stays at the end.

I don't know whats happening with yours or what type of bait and how you're placing it. I borrowed my neighbors trap and according to the instructions it recommended using cat food in the pellet form and to place one bait at the front of the trap till it gets eaten than place bait in front and back of trap. I did this three days in a row and got three rats and haven't had a problem since.

Always do a balance test with your rod & reel but this should be equally dispersed from end to end. Will work fine but always keep in mind what you are fishing for???

It usually sticks. I soak mine in water for several hours, then hold the part on the outside bottom that turns, and pull very hard. It comes off. Any chance you have forced it on without making sure you have it "flat side to flat side"?

The directions that came with the traps says they are for both indoor and outdoor use. I would position them so that they were not in any standing water as it might enter the traps and dilute/release the poison.

Yes. Fishing pole has to go in right way. Can't just throw in. My 2 1/2 yr. old grandson loved this. It's a toy they keep going back to over their childhood years. Also bought a book called "Gone Fishing" by Earlene Long

The splice is in the center of the rod. Whereas it is possible for frail, thin hooks to get caught, those I used have never caught because of the way the splice is made and where it is placed. Before answering this question I went to the shower and moved the curtain from side-to-side and could not get it to stick.

not sure - but I was left with my bait cup and the trap was missing! possibly the rat dragged it away. I did have success with this trap however.

It is open on one end. When baiting, I turn the unit off, and toss a bit of bait into the unit. You can then move the unit back and forth to position the bait just where you want it. I do not put my hand inside. Next, put a little bait outside the trap. I want some tease bait outside, and then evenly distribute bait throughout the unit, making sure there's some in the middle and at the end. I use bird seed for bait.

These bait stations are designed to be placed on flat surfaces. While stakes are included to help secure them in grassy areas, they can also be placed on concrete or similar surfaces.

Thats messed up, poor bat. That glue board is super sticky and holds. I use the glue boards flat and inside the tincat trap. But heres something I personally experienced. I placed a tincat trap with the glue board in it in a very mouse infested area just before night fall. Early the next morning I checked the trap, it was empty. There were so many mice caught that night that they urinated them selves loose from the glue. Of corse there was lots of fur too. But it seems that the glue can be loosened with worm soapy water. (the tincat is not effective without the glue boards)

The p-trap isn't an issue. The tail piece would be the only consideration. It has to be long enough to get through the counter/cabinetry and extend down to the trap.
