Humane capture of mice in your home or business is easy with this Victor® TIN CAT® Mouse Trap. This large, poison-free mouse trap captures mice in a hands-free, non-lethal manner, letting you release them into the wild. The inconspicuous design makes it ideal for a business, and the secure construction keeps curious children or pets in your home away from the trap.
Easy to Use
This Victor® Mouse Trap is simple to use. Put a bit of peanut butter inside the trap and fasten the lid. Place the trap or traps near where you see mouse traffic and wait. This larger trap can hold up to 30 mice before it needs to be emptied, making it ideal for larger infestations.
Trapping Tips
One mistake many people make is to use too few traps. The most mice are captured in the first night after the trap is placed; afterward, those that remain are more cautious. Using plenty of traps means you can end the infestation quicker. You'll know when you've captured most or all when you stop seeing fresh droppings. One the traps are full, simply follow your local regulations regarding animal release and let them go far away from your home.
No Poison or Snapping Parts
Victor® TIN CAT® mouse traps are free of poisons and snapping parts, making them a good choice to use in homes with children or pets. The larger traps are also ideal for businesses and can be placed in drop ceilings, near coolers, and anywhere else mice tend to congregate. They're more sanitary than other traps because the mice are fully enclosed in the secure metal box.
Can Be Placed Indoors or Out
These Victor® traps are designed to be used inside or out. Use under furniture, inside cabinets, in garages or even in ceilings and attics to end indoor infestations. Outside, place one near a known entry point of your home or business. These larger-sized traps may also be used in dorms or multifamily housing units to control larger-scale infestations.

These traps work well for a little while until thee mice figure them out!...

These traps work well for the first few years, but then, the mechanism wears out or my mice get smarter and learn to escape! We clean them, adjust them, but to no avail! The critters get in, eat the bail and then they are gone! Wish I knew how they do it!
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Victor® TIN CAT Live Catch Mouse Trap. We’re glad to hear it worked well for you for several years, and we’re sorry to hear you’re now seeing escapes. Over time, sensitivity can be affected, so keeping the trap on a level surface, placing it directly along walls, and using small amounts of bait secured inside the bait cup can help improve performance. Regular cleaning is helpful, and ensuring the lid and doors move freely without resistance can also make a difference.
Your feedback is appreciated and helps us continue improving the product.

Mice get out easily.

Sep 9, 2025
Mice get out easily. When I check the trap all that is left of the sunflower seeds I use for bait is broken shells and the mouse is gone. We tried it to catch mice in my wife's car, when I did have one in the trap and was on my way to release it, it escaped and is now in my truck. Ya got mice? Get a cat, a four legged one.
I’ve had a Tin-Cat live mouse trap since 1985.
Tried all the others- don’t bother!
This works 99% of the time.
Once a very energetic and clever mouse figured how to get out.
That;s 1 in 40 years. But it’s an old beat up trap.
Bought and set one of these up a few weeks ago. At first I thought I just wasn't attracting any mice to the trap since it was empty every time I checked. After not checking for a week I found the trap full of mouse droppings and not a single mouse. They had just been coming in to snack on my bait and leaving. After inspecting the trap I noticed that one of the trap doors does not close properly and leaves a 1/4 inch gap the mice can just grab onto and pull the door open again. Inexcusable poor manufacturing tolerances and because of the way the stamped pieces are assembled I can not even fix it. $20 for a mouse trap that just feeds the mice.
I set these traps the way you suggested, not using wax paper to put the peanut butter on, but putting the PB directly on the farthest metal part of the trap...... after using for a number of days and trying over and over, I was able to trap a few mice but then again, several times the PB was gone and no mice caught. Design flaw of some kind if the mice can escape after eating the PB on a far wall..... unless the mice and their friends hold down the ramp while others are eating the PB so the eater can exit the ramp. I threw away the receipt as I never thought these wouldn't work, so now I am stuck. A better mouse trap would be nice!
I have been using your Victor tin cat live catch mouse trap for the last six months with excellent results. However, the last month I have noticed the bait has been eaten. There are mouse droppings in the trap, but no mouse. I decided to put a camera to observe what was going on, what I saw was the mouse entering the trap eating the bait going back to the same way that they entered and walking out somehow. As they entered the entrance exit, I could hear them rattling around inside as if they were pulling down the step, however I could not observe it with the camera because this area is closed , I hope you can make some improvement if you do the same thing I did by putting a camera and observing them. Hopefully your engineers can figure out how they are getting out.
Why not have the packaging cover the whole trap to avoid hand scent?

I haven’t had it long enough to see. But my little mouse keeps running around and hiding so far. My comment is, if we aren’t supposed to have hand scent on the trap, it would be great if the company changed the packaging so it covered the whole trap so you don’t touch it by accident until you’re home and able to put gloves on. I guess if I don’t catch him I’ll try washing my hand scent off the trap. He’s so tiny I’m not sure he weighs enough to set the enclosure.
I've had one of these for years and they are wonderful! I relocated forty mice one Fall and have only had one or two a year since in my 160 year old house. I just recommended this to a friend who doesn't want to kill mice.
Mice get in, eat the bait and disappear! What is wrong here? The trap is clean, with no noticeable defects. It worked fine for the first few years, but they escape more often than they are trapped!
Question by: Janet on Jan 4, 2026, 5:05 PM
If mice are getting the bait and escaping, the most common cause is placement or sensitivity, not a defect. Over time, mice can learn how to avoid triggering the trap if the bait is too close to the entrance or if the trap isn’t positioned correctly.
For best results, place a small amount of bait at the far end of the trap, make sure the lid is fully closed, and position the trap flush against a wall where mice travel. Even if the trap looks fine, adjusting bait placement and location usually restores effectiveness.

I put peanut butter on a small piece of wax paper and place it in the trap....... the next day the peanut butter is gone and no mouse in the trap. This has happened several times, what's going on?? Is there a way to fix this? The entrance floor goes back to the top, so don't know how the mice are escaping....... what to do?
Question by: Steve Bruns on Nov 3, 2024, 1:57 PM
I suspect that something is grabbing the wax paper and pulling the bait out of the trap before they are fully inside. We recommend using a cotton swab or knife to smear a bit of peanut butter directly in the bait area, so the mouse has to work for the bait.

The Victor M310SSR Tin Cat Multi-Catch Live Mouse Trap works very well except the first couple of mice eat all the bait so we catch three or less mice per baiting. How can I make the bait less available so it continues to attract rodents?
Question by: John on Aug 8, 2025, 7:15 PM
Thank you for contacting us.
For the Victor M310SSR Tin Cat Multi-Catch Live Mouse Trap, to make the bait last longer and continue attracting rodents, we recommend using a pea-sized dab of peanut butter or a small piece of cheese.
By offering smaller portions, you can ensure the bait remains appealing and effective for more mice over a longer period.

Do I have to wash tin cat between uses to rid scent?
Question by: Irene Kolada on Dec 16, 2024, 6:38 AM
Hi, it is not required, however, if you want to do it, it's fine, just make sure to dry it properly to avoid rust.
Answer by: Guillermo (Admin) on Dec 16, 2024, 4:23 PM
I have baited my trap by putting peanut butter directly on the trap floor. I can then see mouse feces in the trap, as well as the peanut butter being eaten, but no mice have been trapped. Is there something that I need to adjust on the trap?
Question by: Chad on Oct 3, 2025, 2:02 PM
To increase your chances of a catch, please make sure you are wearing gloves when handling and baiting the trap to prevent the transfer of human scent, as mice can detect it and avoid the trap. Also, only use a pea-sized amount of bait. Using a large amount, like smearing it directly on the floor, can allow the mouse to eat the bait without triggering the mechanism.
