The mice sit on top of the trap and eat the bait. The trap never trips!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the trap has not been performing as expected.
For best results, it's important to use only a small amount of bait placed in the designated bait pedal. Using too much bait or placing it incorrectly can sometimes allow mice to access the bait without applying enough pressure to trigger the trap.
Trap placement is also important. We recommend placing the trap directly against a wall with the bait end facing the wall, as mice typically travel along walls and edges rather than crossing open areas. Positioning the trap in areas where you've noticed mouse activity can help improve results.
We appreciate your comments and will share them with our product team. Thank you for giving the trap a try.
Mice are laughing their backsides OFF!
May 4, 2026
Both this one (M150) and the CM035 models are a JOKE! Neither worked. I made sure to view every video I could, including Victor's OWN. I wore two pairs of latex gloves and one pair of winter wool gloves to insure no human scent transfer. I made sure to only put a tiny bit of Nutella on both the plastic and metal pedal models. Meant NOTHING! Those traps remained untouched for two weeks. COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY! These mice are a whole lot smarter than Victor is!

We’re sorry to hear that these traps did not provide the results you expected. For best results, we recommend placing traps directly along walls where mice commonly travel, as they typically avoid open areas. While Nutella can work as bait, small amounts of peanut butter are often very effective due to their strong scent and texture, which encourages interaction with the trigger. It can also help to place unset traps for a short time first so mice become comfortable approaching them before activating the trap.

These are great traps, east to set, and sensitive enough to snap when other cheaper ones will not.

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 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.

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.

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.
