Questions about this item
How do I set the JT Eaton 497N trap so the door actually triggers?
Place bait at the far end of the 16 in cage behind the trip pan so the animal must step on the pan to reach it; setting bait too close to the door lets the animal eat without releasing the latch.
What part of this galvanised steel trap will need attention after repeated outdoor use?
The spring-loaded door hinge and trip-pan pivot can collect mud or rust; rinse them clean and apply a light oil occasionally to keep the mechanism moving freely.
What limits how long a captured animal stays calm inside the 5 in by 5 in compartment?
The small cross-section restricts airflow and space, so check the trap at least every few hours — especially in warm weather — to prevent stress or overheating.
