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!
How to Set the Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap
Watch and see for yourself just how easy it is to use the Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap! Just follow the simple step-by-step instructions.
"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!"

Should be recalled.
Jan 16, 2026
Should be recalled.
I’ve used the original version my whole life and it works great. These wide plastic ones are impossible to set and only injure you. They should be recalled. I want a refund.

I have used over 100 ..
Jan 16, 2026
I have used over 100 of the wide pedal mouse traps with great results-- but i had ordered from amazon another 2 packs of 12 traps-- opened and used the 1 st pack of 12--easy to set and all caught mice-- opened second pack and there is no way to set the paddle with it snapping immediately --completely unable to set these traps even had a neighbor try.. they spring shut at the air moving..
i have no idea how to fix them to be useable -- and have had them since Nov of 2024 so returning them to amazon is past due date for return.. i need to order more than these 12 but now afraid to order anymore

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap. We’re sorry to hear about the issue with the second pack and understand how frustrating that can be, especially given your past success with this model. The traps should set securely without snapping prematurely, so this isn’t expected performance.
In some cases, making sure the pedal and kill bar are properly aligned and pressing the pedal down firmly while setting can help. If the issue continues, we’d be glad to assist and help make this right. Please contact us so we can assist you further.
Completely and utterly unusable trash.
Jan 15, 2026
Completely and utterly unusable trash. I have successfully used mouse traps like this for 30+ years but these are worthless. Number one the base is super slick which makes applying bait nearly impossible. Number two these are so cheaply made that Temu would be embarrassed to sell them - the arm will not stay on the base because the engineered angle is literally not correct and because again the plastic is so slick that the device will not stay armed. Do not patronize me with a scripted corporate pouty face. FIX YOUR PRODUCT.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap. We’re sorry to hear about the frustration you described. The trap is designed to stay armed and trigger properly when set on a flat, stable surface, and applying a very small amount of bait to the pedal can help prevent slipping. The issues you mentioned aren’t what we expect from this model.
If the trap isn’t functioning as intended, we’d like to help address it. Please contact us and our team will be glad to assist further.
Spread peanut butter all over ...

Spread peanut butter all over the yellow plate and the only thing left was in one of the holes and no mouse. It did not activate.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap. We’re sorry it didn’t work as expected. Using a very small amount of bait placed in the bait cup (not spread across the pedal) can help ensure the trap activates properly when the mouse steps on it. Positioning the trap flush against a wall, with the pedal closest to the wall, can also improve results.
Plastic trigger is absolute garbage.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the Victor® Wide Pedal Rat Trap didn’t meet your expectations. The plastic trigger is designed to provide a sensitive, wide strike area when set correctly, so the experience you described isn’t what we aim for.
If the trap isn’t functioning as intended, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
I got 4 of these ...
Dec 21, 2025
I got 4 of these at target today, not realizing the design was different than the normal metal catch type. They're way too sensitive and hard to set, having to hold the plastic petal while setting also makes these dangerous compared to the classic type that can be set entirely from the safe end. The extra sensitivity might come in handy at mouse trapping time though, we shall see.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap. We’re sorry to hear the setup experience was frustrating. This model is designed with a wider, more sensitive pedal to help improve catch rates, which can feel different compared to classic metal-style traps. Setting the trap on a flat surface and applying slow, steady pressure when engaging the pedal can help make setup easier and more controlled.
Your new mousetrap design, is really bad
Dec 7, 2025
Your new mousetrap design, in one world sucks.
Pros: more fashionable design and the receptacle for batteries is more accesible
Cons: the new area to set the bait (we all know the best is peanut butter) now is not detachable, so it cannot be cleaned with water, the old version allowed to detach and wash rest of the peanut butter.
Further more the carcase that is the maze trap is not de detachable either so when the mouse die and pee as a natural effect of the death is not cleanable either.
In summary your new design is looking only for a less durability and is at least 30% more expensive. Old versions I could have used a decent amount of times. I will be lucky if I can use this new version 2 or 3 times without getting unusable.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap. We’re sorry to hear the new design hasn’t worked out for you. This model is intended to offer easier setup and consistent performance, so your feedback on cleaning and reusability is appreciated. To help get the best results, make sure to place a small amount of bait at the very back of the trap and keep the interior dry between uses. This helps the trap function properly and extend its usable life.
Garbage.
Nov 29, 2025
Garbage. I set them out, checked in the morning. Peanut butter all gobbled up, mice droppings all around, not a single trap sprung. Pure garbage.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap. If bait is being taken without triggering the trap, using a very small amount of sticky bait and placing the trap on a flat, stable surface can help ensure proper activation. Aligning the metal bar carefully under the catch can also improve sensitivity for a more reliable trigger.
The pedal requires excessive pressure ...
Nov 27, 2025
The pedal requires excessive pressure to trigger.
Mice are attracted to certain foods, not something that resembles cheese to humans.
A mouse actually removed the bait and took it elsewhere, without setting off my trap.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the Victor® Metal Pedal Mouse Trap. For best results, use a small amount of high-aroma bait like peanut butter or chocolate and place it firmly in the bait cup so the mouse has to put weight on the pedal to reach it. Setting the trap on a flat, stable surface and placing it along a wall where mice naturally travel can also help ensure the pedal triggers properly.

Hi. I’m using 12 of these in my basement and already caught two mice. I’m resetting them and will be reusing them all winter. How often, if at all, should I scoop out the old peanut butter in the bait cup and replace it with new bait? The bait never gets eaten—the mice are dead before they eat anything. Do the mice care if the bait cup has three-month-old peanut butter in it?
Question by: Mike on Oct 29, 2025, 3:38 PM
We recommend using fresh bait for the best results. Applying a pea-sized amount of peanut butter in the bait cup helps maintain effectiveness and attraction. Even if the previous bait was not eaten, refreshing it periodically ensures optimal performance throughout the season.
Answer by: Karla (Admin) on Oct 29, 2025, 3:44 PM
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.
