AsktheExterminator.com Mice traps require more than just putting the traps on the floor. Pre-baiting a trap is the process that helps a mouse disassociate the trap with danger.

Record setting…. 1. “Patchy” is powered by a mousetrap. The potential energy created by the spring in the mouse trap is converted to Kinetic Energy when I let the “snapper” go. I have attached a dowel to the “snapper” of the mousetrap with Duct Tape, and have attached the end of the string 8.89 cm from the top of the stick with Duct Tape. The purpose of this is to extend the lever action, therefore slowing the Kinetic Energy and lengthening the period of time it will go. The disadvantage is that I also weaken the Kinetic Energy. The other end of the string is attached to the left outside of my car on the rear axel. I pull the string taught and roll it up on the axel, spinning the wheel backwards. As I pull and roll the string I also pull the dowel and the “snapper” up, creating the potential energy. When the dowel lays flat against the car facing backward I place the car on the floor and allow it to run. By letting go of the “snapper” I am converting the potential energy to kinetic. The kinetic energy pull the string, which pulls the axel, which pulls the wheel, moving the car forward, making it work. 1 3. The biggest issue I had once the car was made was that it would run when you held it up, but it could not deal with the friction of the floor. The most relevant way I solved this problem was by shortening the length of the dowel attached to the mouse trap. My first dowel was 30.48 cm long and I had attached the string to the very end. This impaired the kinetic energy …
