So you’ve never used one wrong but have direct experiance of using them wrong.
Convincing arguement.
You asked if I’ve seen them used wrong, I have. My family is farming background seen dozens of them setup, some with instant kills others with them trapped by limbs.
A few droppings, and a piece of left over chocolate has been lightly chewed.
Who leaves food lying around?

We have them behind the plasterboard in our old cottage. Can hear them scuttling about but hardly ever come into the rooms. Could put poison under the floorboards I guess, but I'm not lifting them every day to check a trap. In practice we just tend to ignore them and they usually move out in the summer anyway
In my last house we had a reoccuring mouse issue. In the winter every couple of years we would get the noise in the loft as if a pack of rats were up there. In reality it was a few mice. Always went for the neck breaker trap with a bit of chocolate. Very successfull if dealt with before they multiply and never lasted more than a week. Until the last time (Before we moved out). Honestly was like dealing with SAS trained mouse. This thing could strip 6 traps in a single night without setting them off. Electric trap, basic trap, different types of bait. This thing was taking the pee.
Eventually caught it by setting the traps with literally the slightest hold on the bar. Honestly set some of them off with my breathing. Eventually had them all set and waited. Got the him by about 9pm with a snap.
Went into the loft the next morning to dispose of the body and picked the trap up. Only, the little mouse wasnt dead. Even though his head was squashed his tail wrapped around my finger. I absolutely shit myself, dropped the trap and nearly ended up with another 5 traps snapping on me while trying to avoid falling back out of the loft.
I'm not proud of myself but i shut the loft and waited the little man out.
It wasnt the reason for moving house but i dont miss having mice in the loft.
