There has always been a problem that the Treadle Plates on some traps stick up at an angle and restrict the internal opening. This info sheet will show you how to check and correct the problem

Good reminder about getting the basics right!
That’s a very useful article, thanks so much! I have been aware for years that some traps look to have this problem, without really knowing if it was actually a problem, or why they are like this (would still like to know!) or how to fix it. Its an easy fix and I hope the trap I have just adjusted will be more effective. I will also look more closely at a couple of trap lines next time I inspect them. Cheers, Tony
