Reviews for Victor® Electronic Mouse Trap

I bought two of these. I put them in my garage. The mice have just been eating the bait with no kill. I had the previous generation of these and they worked much better, caught a lot of mice. The new design seems to be a dud. The previous generation made a buzzing noise when you turned the switch on, these don't.

These traps are the best thing I have ever used. I recommend these to all my family and friends that have dealt with mice issues. Less then 24 hours of putting these out, we have gotten 4 mice.

I bought one at Home Depot and it works great, kills quick without a mess and easy disposal. Great system. I was using a live-trap cage and letting them go miles from the house, but apparently they don't do well in the wild, especially in the winter. We were also starting to get overwhelmed out here in the woods, so I just ordered a 2-pack.

BEWARE! Victor changes their designs and makes traps that were purchased obsolete and does not carry refill chambers for the older ones. Yet the older models are still being sold by their retailers! I, over time, invested in 7 (prior to that I had 2 of the previous models) of model: Victor M250SSR-2 Indoor Electronic Humane Mouse Trap at a cost close to $200 - most recently 2 were purchased in Sept of 2024. Now I need them to work since Victor told me years ago that the electrodes can stop working with time (I had purchased refill chambers that were made by a different manufacturer that didn't work last night) - I'm ready to buy the more expensive chambers made by Victor and they no longer sell them! Yet, they tell me I can still possibly find the old models in some of their retail stores! I invested in these traps with the assumption that the product would be supported! What a waste of my money (and time!)! I liked the traps and told friends about them but I will no longer purchase from Victor - will find a more reliable manufacturer. At $25 a trap, I expect it to work beyond a few times (I wasn't using these continuously - and yes, the bait and batteries were both replaced when I did!) - they did work up to a point but I was sold on being able to replace the chambers when needed. I wouldn't buy a car if I couldn't replace the brakes, etc!!!! They represented this product as having replaceble parts! I wouldn't buy a printer if they didn't make ink cartridges for it!

The trap died with terrible service. Kill 3, then stop working, unable to connect to the Wi-Fi. hard to get help to reconnect to Wi-Fi. No alternatives offered. and was sent to the store to return it because Victor did not provide a warranty. so disappointed

Bought 3, all faulty. I historically had much success with the prior generation of the Victor electronic traps and was disappointed when the local Home Depot stopped carrying them, so when the mice started coming indoors when the weather got cold, I was happy to buy the new version. The QA on these devices is abysmal. The 3 devices shipped to me properly charged but the lids closed poorly. None fit properly; it seems the plastic injection process isn't matching the pieces closely enough. By squeezing the base I got the covers to close and properly set the safety switch, and each device pulsed green showing properly charged. I didn't hear the telltale buzzing of the older devices which was the capacitor charging up, but I figured that was just normal in the new design. All three traps failed to shock mice. I know the mice came and went because there were fresh droppings on the metal contacts in each device and the bait was gone. None of the devices delivered a shock because the light was dark after the mice's meal time. I should have charged them for eating at Victor's Restaurant.

It doesn’t work. Bought today put brand new batteries in and it won’t stop blinking red. Changed to more new batteries and same thing. A waste of $25.

Works great as advertised.

Great product that really works! It's clean, humane, and easy to use if you follow the instructions. There is, however, a design flaw in the new model. The hexagonal scent holes are way too large. The mice get their teeth in and chew right through. The bait is located right next to those openings so mice are not motivated to find the main entrance. The previous model had much smaller scent holes so this was never a problem. Also, the bait shelf is very narrow. There use to be a small depression like a cup which sat below the recent holes which was easier to fill. That being said, this is still the best choice for "a better mouse trap".

It was great, until the refill cartridges sold out. I should have kept and cleaned my old cartridges instead of throwing them away, but had no idea there were no more refills to buy.
