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. Then, simply lift the rugged metal kill bar to dispose of the body. The trap can be disposed of, or reused many times over, at your discretion.
Top Victor® Mouse Trap Features
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

Mar 16, 2026
I bought a few Victor mouse traps (with the wide plastic bait tray), and the first one failed. Horribly (see pic).
I contacted customer service and they replaced the faulty trap(s) quickly. Person I talked to also had a great attitude and was very pleasant.
New traps deployed and worked VERY well! (No pics, because they depict mucho mouse destruction, NSFW)

If you use the right ...

If you use the right bait, and set it firmly on the trip plate, you will get the mouse. I have used these for years. Peanut Butter works the best, do not put anything on trail as bait that could be easily lifted in the mouth of a mouse. You need them to pull at the bait on the trip plate. If using in a basement of or similar area, and you have Camel Crickets, sometimes called Spider Crickets please note that they can nibble all the peanut butter off the trap, without tripping it. You need to check the traps every few days, especially in warmer weather.
Victor makes a great trap-now order it and start catching the mice.

Jan 21, 2026
I’ve been using Victor mouse trap brand my whole life and there just isn’t a better mouse trap company. Don’t waste your money on the new mouse traps people produce. Go victor. I’ve caught so many mice with these traps. You just have to get to know them, and they will trap your mice, I just caught a mouse last night with the trap with NO bait! Now that’s a good trap
Better than “Quick-kill” plastic
Jan 9, 2026
These traps are better than the plastic “quick-kill” I may lose my bait on these ones once in a while but when they snap they kill, if not kill then they are TRAPPED. Go read my other review if you want to know how I feel about the plastic ones.
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 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.

I'm having a very hard time trying to set these mouse straps. I had these kind before and it was no problem. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but you don't look very complicated. Can you help?
Question by: Mike on Mar 9, 2026, 3:57 PM
Setting the Victor® Metal Pedal Mouse Trap can take a little practice. Start by placing a small amount of bait on the metal pedal, then pull the snap bar back and hold it in place while positioning the setting arm over the pedal. Carefully lower the snap bar until the arm catches on the pedal and holds the trap set.
Be sure to keep your fingers clear of the snap bar while setting the trap. If you’d like, you can also check the setup instructions on our website for a visual reference.
