Helpfulness
Purchased 4 wood traps with the yellow plastic trigger mechanism. THEY ARE JUNK AND GIVING YOU A BAD REPUTATION.
Mar 31, 2024
purchased 4 wood traps with the yellow trigger. One had the hold down bar missing. The remaining three :-(. The yellow catch that the hold down bar inserts into to set the trap is too smooth and the bar will not hold without much frustration. One actually would snap a minute or two after I set it and walked away. I found the solution is to drill a hole slightly larger than the hold down bar into the yellow catch. About 1/16 inch deep. That holds the hold down bar enough to hold until a mouse triggers it.
BEST SOLUTION IS TO QUIT MAKING THAT UNIT AND SELL ONLY THE MODEL WITH THE STEEL CATCH. THE YELLOW ONE IS GIVING YOUR PRODUCT A BAD REPUTATION.

No one on this planet has caught more mice than I, Guaranteed!
My normal life is 28 traps (Trap Line I like to call it) at my home, hangers, sheds, campers, Etc..

I live in the North East (NY) where there are lots and lots of mice.

Far and away the fastest, most sensitive trap ever. Caught 6 in 6 days with peanut butter. Cleaned out the whole tribe.

Worked well for me - caught a mouse successfully within a few hours.
The best snap trap!

The best snap trap! Use them dry with no bait- set them with the yellow paddle next to the wall where the mice travel.
Or push peanut butter into the holes in the yellow paddle. The mice put more pressure on the paddle to dig out the pb and whammy. I often get 2 mice per trap.
The mice eat the bait ...

The mice eat the bait completely off and the trap doesn't trip. Takes a little too much force to trip them. The old ones with the metal trip worked so much better that these

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We're sorry to hear about this recent experience with these traps. They can be set with either a firm (F) or sensitive (S) setting - when looking at the yellow cheese pedal. Reach out to us via the Contact Us page with any additional questions.
Won't stay set.

I have caught dozens of mice over the last 20 years with this design of Victor mousetraps, but something has changed with the latest bunch of mousetraps that I bought. I cannot get the trap set. Doesn't matter if it is Firm or Sensitive, the bar will not stay under the pedal. The ones I bought have a pedal that looks like cheese (like it always has) but I see from the picture above that there is a new pedal with a "V" shape. Maybe they've fixed this problem with a redesign?
Bad design
Dec 7, 2023
Terrible design. They are extremely difficult to set and usually snap when you try to release your hands. Takes me about 20 plus tries to get one to set. I also don’t consider them safe at all for this reason. I wear thick leather gloves when I attempt to set them so I don’t destroy my hands. They do eliminate the mice if you can set them.

We are sorry to hear about your experience with these traps! To set them, hold the trap vertically and make sure the yellow pedal is at about a 20 or 30 degree angle from the base, then set the trap by hooking the metal bar under the lip of the yellow pedal.

Bought a pack of four and had to throw away three of them because they broke while trying to be set. I spent way too much time trying to set the trap just for it to go off as I put it down. Not a fan of this design.
These things work great.

These things work great. I use them outside my house, without any bait. I just set them with the pedal facing the foundation and the mice try to jump over them, and lots of them don't quite make it. I have also used them in my workshop, with a little peanut butter. I've been meaning to try hot gluing some dry dog or cat food to the pedal, just to see how that works. It should work on the regular snap traps as well. Happy hunting!
