Reviews for Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap

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.

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.

The old design worked great. This new design does not. It's hard to set, triggers prematurely, or doesn't trigger at all. I do not recommend it.

absolute junk, assembled incorrectly, making it impossible for the homeowner to set the trap. One would have to remove the trigger lever and reassemble to make it functional. There must be no quality control at the factory.

Horrible awful design invented to look better and nothing else, total dud and waste of money .. feel cheated Rod will not stay secured in bait paddle, causing immediate activation of trap..totally defeating its purpose Old orginal style , where rod can secure onto bait trigger was way better

Do not like the new design of the wide plastic piece. It is very hard to set the trap. It snaps on itself very easily.

Got a 12-pack, so far have only been able to get one to work. I've never had so much trouble with setting a simple mouse trap. I've snapped my fingers so many times and have only successfully gotten peanut butter all over my kitchen.

Out of a box of twelve of these things, I only had one that I had to tap the set bar closer to the plastic. Otherwise I’ve already caught two mice and reset those traps for a second go. I can see how the manufacturing of these things might make some batches impossible to set, as you only have a millimeter of tolerance for the bar to catch the plastic. But it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to tap the staple with a hammer. Not bad if it’s just one or two, however I can see that being impractical if you need to buy them by the dozens. Works great for me in my basement. (I used to use their electric ones, but the basement humidity destroyed those in less than a year. Those are better for upstairs if you don’t want pets getting their noses snapped.). That’s my two cents.

Traps won't set. I've used in the past but the ones I've bought lately are flawed. At least half of them won't set and I keep getting my fingers snapped.

Trap won’t set. The plastic portion is not holding the metal arm in proper position
