Victor® Power Kill™ Rat Traps

I got 1 out of 6 plastic pedal rat traps to set. On Victor’s own operations page it suggests getting pliers to adjust to trip bar. What? I need to fix the rat trap in order to use it? Get your shit together Victor and bring the metal bait holder back. Will never buy again.

Two times now I have bought the Victor rat trap, the model with the plastic trip paddle, and it has failed miserably. I don’t mean that it hasn’t caught rats, but that it has fallen apart. The staples come out of the main pivot arm with the springs attached and other times the plastic paddle does not stay attached. I wish they could bring back the old metal paddle, which has never failed even though I have some that are more than 25 years old. I wish that Victor would take this feedback to heart and come back with the old style metal, which work just fine. I can’t see that this is an improvement nor a cost reduction. I won’t be buying their products in the future if I can avoid it.

I am very disappointed in the way they work compared to the traditional wood traps that Victor makes. Most of the time I see the trigger pad in the depressed/downward slant without ever tripping the trap to kill whatever stepped on it. This has been going on ever since I bought these traps and I rarely catch anything. I wanted to upload a mp4 video showing me pressing on the trigger pad and not causing the kill bar to trigger, but it does not allow me to upload that file type.

Trash after one use, multiple traps no longer engage

Hi i bought 8 rat snap traps from my homedepot , I would recommend this product to family ,friends, neighbors and strangers. I have the proof to prove the following: 1 - the snap traps are safe ,easy to use, quick to unload deseaed rat and reload bait . 2- will not make a loud snap'n sound( near the ears) 3 - this specific trap is " work horse" "it keeps Snapp 'n " i have proof ..

Stopped working after I caught 2 rats. Have problems resetting it and the trigger won't activate the trap anymore. Even pressing the trigger with a stick would not activate it. Going back to the good old finger catching wooden traps.

very simple deployment, and the bar slams flat when tripped so there's no way the rat is getting out. good engineering. just a bait idea, (I tried rat bait to use and it did not work) I used fat drippings off of a smoked brisket, and it took one night before I got him.

Set 4 of these up (3 of which caught a rat the first night!). Along with an electronic shock one (which didn’t). Batting .750 with these M144 models. Buy these. They’re inexpensive and they actually work! Proof is in the pudding.

This trap can be set where the trigger flap is not sensitive enough so the rat can steal the bait in the cup without triggering the trap. I saw it serval time on my security camera.

I set the 2 units up with bait and put them outside to trap a rat issue I've been having. Both traps were sprung the next day but no rodents in them. Unfortunately, neither trap will reset anymore. One activation and the "hook" will no longer hold the trap open. I've caught my fingers in these traps more than once trying to get them to reset but to no avail. I can't believe these traps are a one and done type design, but they are. I'm beyond disappointed with these useless traps and I cannot return them to Lowes because I'm just over the 30 days.
