How to Set the Trap
Learn how to bait and set the classic mouse trap with the help of experts at VICTOR®. Once set, a rodent triggers the metal pedal, and the trap immediately springs closed to kill the mouse.

The Victor® Metal Pedal Mouse Trap is relied upon around the world to help people get rid of mice. Use it wherever you encounter a mouse problem.
Target Unwanted Rodents
Victor® Metal Pedal Mouse Traps are a time-tested solution for capturing the mice that have invaded your home or business. Mice are able to sneak inside buildings through the tiniest of spaces where they can spread disease and destroy your property.
Step-By-Step Guide
The Metal Pedal is easy to set and use. Here’s how:
- Remove 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.
- Bait the trap with a high-protein substance, such as peanut butter, chocolate or hazelnut spread. Place the bait on the metal bait pedal using a Q-Tip, toothpick or another tool to mask your human scent.
- Pull the kill bar back and hold it in place with your thumb.
- Swing the arm bar over the kill bar and latch the bent end of the arm bar into the notch on the metal pedal as shown. Slowly release pressure from the kill bar until the arm bar has fully engaged and holds the kill bar securely.
- Place the trap wherever you’ve seen signs of rodent activity or along the wall where rodents like to travel. The baited end of the trap 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.
"I've tried other brands of traps, but so many times the mice eat the bait but the trap doesn't trigger. So the bait just becomes a regular meal for the mice. These Victor traps are easy to bait, easy to set, cheap enough to use everywhere, and most importantly, they work!" (Review from Dagarb)

Helpfulness
The mouse took the bate- ...
Nov 26, 2025
The mouse took the bate- beef jerky- but the snap (i had two placed) never snapped. I tried multiple times to make the snap release but none of the metal mouse pads would release. I safely packaged them for trash. I own a pest control company so this did not look good to my customers. I took a video dropping items on the traps showing they will bot release but this site doesn’t allow video. I tried to upload a photo but it wouldn’t upload.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the Victor® Metal Pedal Mouse Trap. The metal trigger should release easily when bait is disturbed, so a trap that won’t activate even under pressure may indicate a defective unit or misaligned trigger bar. For best results, place the trap on a flat surface and use a small amount of sticky bait so the mouse must apply direct pressure to the pedal.
I have tested 100+ traps ...
Oct 17, 2025
I have tested 100+ traps and can STRONGLY RECOMMEND this product. I had used these a while back and had noticed that there was always one fatal flaw that would come back to haunt me. The mice would lick the bait clean then leave without getting caught. But after several months of trial and error testing different baits and techniques I found a foolproof way to use the traps and have a 100% kill rate. I would start by taking a piece of cotton and tucking it into the bait plate so the mouse has to tug it to get it out. I would then smear peanut butter into the cotton making a highly effective killing machine. I hope this is helpful
I purchased 4 traps from ...
Oct 13, 2025
I purchased 4 traps from a big box store, baited them with peanut butter, came back the next morning and the peanut butter was gone and the traps never went off. I then purchased Victor mouse traps from my local hardware store, baited and set them out and immediately that night I caught mice. The traps were set right next to the foreign made traps I had rebaited and all had their bait eaten and the traps didn't go off. I can't recommend Victor mouse any higher. Definitely a 10 out of 5 stars
OK...
Oct 7, 2025
OK...to clear this rating is for the "old" type trap shown here. They say: build a better mousetrap...well that stupid version with the yellow pad ISN'T a better mousetrap! Did the designer ever try to set one? I'd rate the yeoow paddle one a -2. Nopw I have to go find a place that still sells the old type.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the Victor® Metal Pedal Mouse Trap. The new yellow pedal design is made to provide a larger activation surface and more sensitive trigger, ensuring a quicker response. When setting the trap, hold it firmly on a flat surface and apply steady pressure on the kill bar until the pedal locks in place. We understand some users prefer the older style, and we appreciate your feedback as we continue improving our designs.
Mice eat the bait but ...
Aug 9, 2025
Mice eat the bait but trap doesn’t spring. I’ve used Victor spring traps for years but recent traps seem defective. Used four different traps with either peanut butter or cheese. Bait completely gone, looked like a brand new trap set without bait. I suspect the spring puts so much tension on the trigger rod that it in essence “locks” it into the trip pad. Com’on Victor, do better!
Play with options
Jul 29, 2025
I have found that from time to time a mouse will get the peanut butter without the trap snapping. When this happens, I put out a few more freshly set traps right next to the non-sprung traps.
Inevitably, when the mouse that got away with a free meal the first time either walks on the non-sprung trap to get to the newly set trap and, well, SNAP!
So, experiment a bit but this trap is great. Nice product. Just buy more than one.
The gold standard of mouse traps!
Jul 7, 2025
For me the Victor metal tab mouse trap is the absolute gold standard of rodent traps. I have used these traps for fifty years. You bait them properly, set them and they remain on guard. I've used them at work and home and will use nothing but Victor.
'ol reliable, works everytime
Jun 24, 2025
Every June, like clockwork I get a mouse in the attic. I hear it scuttling around and catch glimpses of it dashing about. I picked up a 4 pack of the Victor classics and baited it with a smear of peanut butter. It works every single year, every single time, within 12 hours I hear the SNAP. This trap is so reliable it's a no brainer. They can be tricky to set in the beginning but once you figure out how to set it, it's very easy and becomes second nature. (the bend in the hook faces down) I've recommended the Victor classic to all my friends, because I'm in amazement how fast they catch the critters. Victor has by far earned its reputation and my loyalty. Thank you !
Absolute Junk
Jun 5, 2025
If I could give a negative star, I would. The old mouse traps were great, the new large plastic pedal are junk. I don't know who designed these but they need a new profession, even worse is that obviously they never took time to evaluate this trap. Getting the trap to set is a totally joke, plastic is too slick to allow the rod to stay hooked, I finally just trashed the thing and
returned 12 of them as they are pure crap. Don't waste your money. Quality control is out the door. If this is a sign of American quality, maybe you should look over seas to someone that can design and bring to market a working unit.

Ok have the wooden snap traps.have mice in garage.traps worked great ,the 1st. Time.now the little b%$#@$ts have figured out how to eat al the bait(peanut butter) without tripping the mechanism. I dont have enough.financial resources to buy something else and start over.i have read al you're advice on this subject,I can find,which isnt alot.dont think any manufacturer wants to admit that there product isnt foolproof. I want traps that kill immediately and are reusable. Finally, my question is,what bait,how much?should I switch it up? I know where they are,but having empty traps is super aggravating. None in the house yet. I might be dealing with pack rats??not field mice.they seem to smart. Do they collect shiny things,but put it away.from actual nest? Ok,sorry, more than one question????
Question by: DAWN JORDAN on Nov 24, 2024, 7:12 AM
Thank you for reaching out, Regarding your question about baiting and trap setup, I’ll address your concerns and provide some advice that might help increase your success.
Baiting Tips: Use a small amount of peanut butter—just enough to entice but not too much to avoid triggering the trap. Add stronger-smelling foods like unsalted bacon, chocolate, or sunflower seeds. If mice become too familiar with peanut butter, switch to other baits like dried fruit or nuts.
Amount of Bait: Use only a pea-sized amount of bait to avoid making it easy for mice to steal without setting off the trap.
Trap Placement: Place traps along walls or near entry points where mice are most active.
Reusable Traps: Wooden snap traps can be effective if reset with proper baiting. You could also consider a Victor Electronic Mouse Trap for a quick, humane kill.
Pack Rats: If you're dealing with pack rats, they tend to be more cautious and might hoard shiny objects. They are also larger and harder to trap, requiring more patience.
Empty Traps: If traps remain empty, try repositioning them or using multiple traps in high-traffic areas to improve your chances.
