Victor® Metal Pedal Mouse Trap - 24 Traps

At first I had many problems with mice eating the peanut butter without setting off the trap... Then I began putting the bait under the bait holder instead of in it...Works every time!!! Victor, if you flip the bait holder down instead of up I guarantee it will work every time...

Score was me, 4, mice 0. A Victor-y.

By far the best mouse trap out there is the original victor snap trap with the metal bait pedal. I see some reviews not positive for this trap, and I don't understand how they can say that. I do not use peanut butter, it tends to get licked off. I do use a sticky chocolate bar like Oh Henry, or Snickers. The chocolate bar sticks firm on the bait pedal because of the caramel, and peanuts do help. Try changing the bait and you will be happy with the classic snap trap. Also if you are using a Victor Rat trap with the metal bait pedal, slide a small piece of slim jim, or pepperoni stick and it works every time, you never lose the bait, and gets 'em right on the neck for a quick kill.

No these are not good traps compared to the victor red bar ones. I try to set them as sensitive as possible but still the mice eat the bait and without triggering them. So go for the other ones..

These are the only traps that work on our smart mice. We tried a lot of other brands and models with no good results.Thanks Victor for still making them .

Easy to set, easy to bait, and works every time. Mouse dies quickly and painlessly. They are also easy to unset without setting them off. Great price too so if you want to just throw out the whole trap after catching a mouse, you don't break the bank. Best snap trap available today.

I revew the PDF of how to set the trap and I couldn't understand how to set the bar on the metal pedal mecanism. Do you introduce the bar on the hole in the metal pedal or you try to grab the little nail in it or both. I snap my fingers and I know it will work on a mouse. I learn more on the review that on the PDF panflet.

These traps are the best and the only ones I buy. They catch mice like crazy! Their customer service is impeccable as well. I had a problem with an order that I received a few months ago. Most of the traps were broken in transit and hadn't realized until last week when I took them out of the box to use. I called a rep at Victor, explained what happened and they took care of me and send me new ones. This is what customer service is all about and the reason I'm a customer for life. Thank you Victor!

Set up four traps with dabs of peanut butter. Mice have licked them clean without setting off traps. I pick up the traps and they go off. These mice are outsmarting me. They're probably staring at me and laughing: "Ya right!". Victor should hire them for their Research and Developing department or maybe CEO.

Apparently these have been modified into an inferior design. I had a few (I guess) older model mouse traps that were working fine. I bought four more to spread around, not thinking the design would be any different. But these new ones are impossible to keep set, if you can latch the bar at all. Had one snap while I was baiting another one, with nothing triggering it. The second one snapped as I was trying to place it by sliding it ever-so-gently across the smooth floor. Both happened after several attempts at latching, including grabbing some pliers so the bar might stay put. They are going into the trash. I can catch air easily enough without a trap, but I guess it was fun while it lasted. I couldn't care less about a refund. I'll consider the price a lesson learned, and cherish my remaining old ones until wild mice are extinct. Anyone know where I can find some more old ones?
