Victor® Quick-Kill® Mouse Traps - 3 Pack

Bought 3 boxes because the last time we had an issue they were amazing, but when a mouse can eat all the peanut butter and it not snap Thats an issue! They suck make this right Victor

This product does NOT give a quick, human kill. The issue is with the side bars, which can trap the mouse but not quickly kill it. I believe what is happening is that the mouse can access the bait compartment, and set off the trap, from the side. (long edge of the trap). When this happens, the bar comes down, but it is the side bars (the two parallel metal bars) which come down on the mouse (not the red kill bar). Because there is a decent amount of space between the side bars and the mouse trap platform (even when the bar is down), what happens is that the mouse is trapped, but not killed. This has happened to me numerous times. On these occasions, the mouse was trapped and hurt, but still living. To end its suffering, I had to kill it myself. I am just noticing that this design flaw has been mentioned numerous times by other people (if I would have seen these reviews earlier, I wouldn't have purchased the product). In these reviews, Victor claims that the orientation/placement of the trap needs to be correct. However, I followed their instructions perfectly, and this still occurred. Just to double check, I changed the orientation of the trap (e.g. always up against the wall, but sometimes parallel, sometimes with the bait facing the wall, sometimes the other way), and this issue of the mouse getting trapped in the side bar still occurs. The only reason I am giving this two stars instead of one is because that, if the mouse goes into the bait trap head on, the trap sometimes works. But for a significant amount of time, the mouse gets trapped and doesn't die humanely. I appreciate that Victor strives to create humane traps (kill and no-kill); I thank them for this. However, the above seems to suggest a design flaw, and it would be very much appreciated if the engineering team can either modify the design or take the product off the market. Thank you.

Hi! My husband left the review about the trap getting chewed through because it was set up right? We bought a 4 pack and had 2 set up, the one got chewed through and mouse got away. So how is that quick kill? The other did die… but after he bled all over my kitchen floor because the trap got him but he STILL GOT OUT AFTERWARDS. It doesn’t matter about set-up with these they’re a waste of the money. Get the old fashioned wood and metal ones, it might not be quick but the mouse doesn’t get away and back into your house.

Did not kill the mouse and the mouse chewed through the plastic eventually escaping. Waste of money.

Lives up to its name. First I tried traditional snap traps. When they did catch something, all it did was trap an arm, I had to kill the mouse myself. I have one that is still set and all the bait is gone. With these traps, every strike has been a kill. The covered bait cup only has one entry point so they have to go at it from the front. I just have to lift the arm and drop the mouse in the trash. The only catch was that one dead mouse's mouth was still hooked on the bait cup, and I had wiggle the trap a few times to get it to drop off.

Best mouse trap I ever bought. So far 100% kill rate. I especially like the release handle far away from the dead mouse. Great design!

I have mice! I had several different kinds of traps set! I never caught any in this type of trap! Waste of money!

Have yet to see this trap kill a mouse. Will get set off and pin them but they are perfectly fine once you open the trap.

These traps are easy to set and empty, and if they worked properly I would gave them 5 stars for that. However, 3 out of 4 times, they trap a mouse but do not kill the mouse. The poor thing flops around trying to get away. Even small mice are not being killed humanely with these traps. The bar is too weak to end their life.

Whoever named this thing “Quick-Kill” has a sick sense of humor! I set two of these up, along with two classic metal pedal traps, all facing toward the walls as instructed. A night or two before I finally caught the mouse, one of the Quick-Kills had gone off without catching anything while I was off at work; to Victor’s credit, almost all of the bait I placed in the trap was still there, so the claim of mice not stealing bait are true. I woke up before my alarm one morning, and after 10 minutes of scrolling on my phone I heard an SNAP! I was reluctant to get out of my warm bed, so I resolved to get to it after I took my morning shower, which itself would be taken once my normal alarm went off. As I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom, however, I heard a clacking sound coming from the room connected to mine. I stepped in to find a mouse writing and struggling to escape, its neck pinned to the trap by the side of the bars (which makes sense, considering the only way to access the trap up against the wall was from the sides. In order to prevent its escape and further suffering, I had to bludgeon it to death with the heaviest swingable object I could find; in my case, a large flashlight. In summary, if you only care about CATCHING mice, this trap works. But if you want to trap and kill mice, pick something else!
