David_Kunz 56 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 3 of my DP traps had their bait stolen with setting them off. I'm using dog food and mini marshmallows. Any thoughts of what's doing on or any adjustments I should make? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Zipper 5,149 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Mice do steal bait out of DPs. The usually don't set off the trap. If they do they get squished. Got a few over the years. I would make sure your bait is also under the trigger, so it can be pulled up and set off with a catch. David_Kunz 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Coyoteslayer 914 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I've had a few smaller coons able to somehow get it out without setting off the trigger. I started smearing some on trigger. They just cant resist trying to get that last bit off of there David_Kunz 1 Link to post Share on other sites
