Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap - A New Twist on a Classic Design
Simplify your rodent control routine with the Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap. Using the original wooden snap trap design with an improved larger trip pedal to ensure higher catch rates, this trap will help you to effectively eliminate rodents around your household or business. Two settings, Firm and Sensitive, allow you to control the sensitivity of the trap. For the best accuracy and outcome, we recommend setting the trap somewhere between these two settings. In addition, these traps require no chemicals or poisons.
Expanded Trigger Plate
The Wide Pedal Mouse Trap enhances the classic snap trap design by adding a large plastic trigger plate to ensure higher catch rates. The expanded size means it can be easily activated both by rodent interest in food and through accidental contact as mice scamper across the floor.
Easy 4-Step Setup
For your convenience, the Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap is very easy to use. Get your trap setup by following these four simple steps:
Release the Arm Bar - Remove the staple and move it so the arm hangs over the back of the trap.
Bait the Trap - Apply bait on the plastic pedal for best results. Use a high-protein bait such as peanut butter or hazelnut spread.
Hold Securely - Pull back the kill bar and hold it securely with your thumb.
Set the Trap - Place the arm bar over the kill bar and secure it under the plastic pedal. Take note of the Firm and Sensitive setting. The trap will be easier to set on the firm side, but not trip as easy. The trap will be more difficult to set on the sensitive side, but trip very easily.
Location, Location, Location
Set the trap in areas where you have noticed high levels of rodent activity. Rodents tend to travel along walls, so placement in this location often works best. For maximum effectiveness, use multiple traps, placed at 2 to 3 foot intervals to increase results. Place the trap with the baited end flush against the wall.
Quick & Effective
Once a rodent triggers the pedal, the Wide Pedal Mouse Trap immediately springs closed to eliminate the pest on contact. After a catch, simply lift the kill bar to dispose of the mouse and reuse the trap or, dispose of the entire trap for quick, clean removal. It’s your decision!

"BEST TRAP ON THE MARKET! I purchased the easy set traps because of the tension adjustment (either hard or soft) I have tried other traps and even using a side-by-side comparison, the Victor traps captured the rodent every time. Victor is the only trap I'll buy from now on. It works, it's durable and easy to set!"

Mouse Trap Instructions
Release the arm bar from the staple.
Move the arm bar to the back of the trap so it hangs over the back of the trap.
Apply a small amount of high-protein bait, such as peanut butter, hazelnut spread or bacon to the yellow plastic pedal on the trap as shown. Use a Q-tip, toothpick or another tool to bait to avoid transferring your scent to the trap.
Pull the kill bar back and hold it in place with your thumb.
Place the arm bar over the kill bar and secure it under the plastic pedal. Take note of the Firm and Sensitive setting. The trap will be easier to set on the firm side, but not trip as easy. The trap will be more difficult to set on the sensitive side, but trip very easily.
Place the trap where you have seen signs of rodent activity or along the wall where rodents primarily travel. The end of the trap where the metal pedal is baited should be placed flush against the wall.
After the mouse is caught, properly dispose of the dead rodent. The trap can either be discarded or reused.
0 stars of possible. I injured myself trying to set these worthless traps. Terrible design. The trap is difficult to set with it snapping back at you. Wire slips easily of the yellow pad. DO NOT BUY THIS WORTHLESS THING.
Can be tricky to set but highly effective. Make sure the trap won’t trip while you’re holding it with a thumb and fingers then move it to the floor. I use the sensitive setting it works if the mouse is interested. I use lunch meat for bait.
These traps are worthless and dangerous. I bought 4 traps and only 2 can be set and the bait is in the vertical possession. I wanted the real original traps rather than the wide pedal but the store didn't have them. once the traps snap, then they won't set again. The plastic pedal will not hold the wire trigger. I suggest you buy the real original ones with the metal pedal.
Don't believe these astroturf and/or automated reviews. This product WORKS. If it doesn't, check your bait or process in setting it. Even where you place it can make a difference. Don't give up, once you figure it out it will reward you will humane clean kills of these varmints forever.
The wide plastic "paddle" traps ARE LOUSY. They're terrible to bait, and more fingers are injured than the mice they're supposed to catch. Where are the "5 ☆" reviews? Nobody seems to like these traps. Back to the drawing board!
Have been using victor traps for over 30 years. ordered 2cases about a month ago and every trap now needs to have the single trigger bar adjusted or bent a little or the trap cant be set down without triggering it off!!!!!! Every trap!!! please email me when you fix this. John Starai Owner Ace Animal Control model cm035

How are you supposed to even set these traps. the plastic pedal just slides off the trigger bar no matter what I do. These are a POS!
Question by: George on Jun 22, 2025, 12:54 PM
Hi, thank you so much for your question—we’re so sorry for the inconvenience. Based on the instructions: You should:
*Release the Arm Bar: Remove the staple and move the arm so it hangs over the back of the trap.
* Bait the Trap: While pre-baited, for best results, apply bait (like peanut butter or hazelnut spread) on the plastic pedal.
* Hold Securely: Pull back the kill bar and hold it securely with your thumb.
* Set the Trap: Place the arm bar over the kill bar and secure it under the plastic pedal. Choose between *Firm* (easier to set, less sensitive) or *Sensitive* (harder to set, more sensitive) settings.
