I've always used Victor rat traps for weasel but I put a pan on them. I set the rat rap in a box at the front where the weasel has to step on it when entering the box. The bait is placed at the back of the box, not on the pan. And they work great.

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

Understood, just a copy of the Victor rat trap with the yellow pan which will work great if positioned right, as shown in my previous post.

I like the idea of the metal pan as far as it lasting but I can see every animal frozen to the pan.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Agree but find the plastic pan wares and the trigger becomes very sensitive going of with temperature changes. I find I have to file a rough area on the wire to make it work again. I've seen the regular rat traps with wire mesh used as a bait pan.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

I was actually going to order some just to try but the shipping price was more than the dozen traps.

I always used the Victors with the yellow plastic pan. Problem was, eventually the pan comes off and I couldn't find any place that sells a replacement pan. Right now, I have about 10 worthless traps without a pan.
I posted on here once asking about making a pan, but nobody seem to have a solution or knew where to get replacement pans.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.

Get you some tin (old soup can would be fine) and tin snips and small drill bit,,, wahlah, new pans. Maybe need to cut the head off and bend a nail into a staple shape to hold it down. After the first one you'd be looking at 3-4 min to make each of the rest, maybe.
