enough force to crush a mouse skull/ribs/break it's spine
A mouse trap works by using a bait to lure a mouse into a triggering mechanism, such as a spring-loaded metal bar, which snaps shut when the mouse touches it. This mechanism is designed to trap and kill the mouse instantly.

You put peanut butter on a mouse trap and hope for the best. Note: Bigfoot loves peanut butter.
If you are refering to the Orth Home Defense Max Kill and Contain Mouse Traps, depending on the size of the mouse the mouse will either be killed instantly, or, for larger mice, the trap contains them and they will die from hyperthemia. These traps are really inhumane unless you let the mice out away from your house - we tried live traps and they did not work, but caught two within minutes of putting out these Ortho "kill and contain" traps -- they only contain. Please, if you use these effective traps, take the trap and drive a bit and let the poor mouse out in a field or just away from your home instead of throwing out the trap in the garbage to die a miserable death!
The amount of force exerted by a mouse trap is typically around 3 to 4 pounds.
It is better to use small trap cars as the larger ones can prevent no use to trapping a mouse the small traps are much quicker to get the mouse/rats.
The mouse trap was a spring assist lever for the clutch that lightened the pull. It mounted on the left side of the frame and looked very much like an actual mouse trap

You didn't say why the mouse traps weren't working for you. I once set a mouse trap, stepped back, and a shrew immediately came out from behind my hot water heater and approached the mouse trap. Once I saw how it behaved around the mouse trap, I changed my trapping technique, and I had much better success. The shrew approached the trap, and it quickly poked the trap several times with its snout in sort of a jabbing fashion as if the shrew was investigating the trap. When the trap was sitting by itself on a smooth linoleum floor, the trap tended to get pushed away, and the trap frequently tripped without catching the shrew. After that, I put something heavy behind the trap (a can of paint in my case), and my success rate was much much higher.
