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.
This trap is trash compared to the original metal trap. The plastic foot springs back way too easily. It is hard to set without it springing back. The spring is also too tight and springs on its own too easily. Don't waste your money on this.
Wide pedals don’t work. Either the spring is too strong or there’s not enough plastic on the pedal to hold the arm bar. Threw away, waste of money. Only old style metal pedals work.
I took a hot glue gun and glued a piece of dog food to the center of the yellow pedal. I had great success. I purchased them at my local hardware store.
This is the worst product I've ever purchased. Trap wouldn't set even on the "firm" side and ended up breaking because it snapped shut on itself so many times.
What is wrong with the ...does not work like it should

What is wrong with the rat traps you now make? What was wrong with the mouse and rat traps you use to make? The new traps have that piece of cheep plastic where the bait goes. 1 out of 3 work without me having to modify them. Why in the hell did you change a perfectly good style. Oh yeah to save a dime.
Terrible. Mouse ate the bait off this every day for a week without even going off. Finally went an got the older version with the metal tray and it worked. Do not buy this model.
This trap is a pain to set. Plastic pedal doesn’t grip the arm bar correctly. As far as I’m concerned this trap really sucks. Bring back the old version! I do not recommend this product. JUNK!
I’ve been using the victor wooden mouse trap for years. I just bought 4 wooden traps at tractor supply. I bought two packs of the wooden traps with two traps in each. I set two traps they didn’t go off so I opened the second pack I went to set the traps and both traps fell apart. The first one when I pulled it back the spring came detached from the wood. The second trap was good until I pulled the trap back to set it and the spring came unattached from the wood and snapped my finger. This is very poor quality control!!
I will not and would not use or recommend this product again.
The trap is sensitive and effective. Gingerly placing the trap is key but but the hammer trips so fast that mice barely have a chance. The catch triggers the trap well enough that I've had one out of 20 set traps come up empty. I can usually reset them with little bait taken!
