Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap - A New Twist on a Classic Design
Simplify your rodent control routine with the Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap. Using the original wooden snap trap design with an improved larger trip pedal to ensure higher catch rates, this trap will help you to effectively eliminate rodents around your household or business. Two settings, Firm and Sensitive, allow you to control the sensitivity of the trap. For the best accuracy and outcome, we recommend setting the trap somewhere between these two settings. In addition, these traps require no chemicals or poisons.
Expanded Trigger Plate
The Wide Pedal Mouse Trap enhances the classic snap trap design by adding a large plastic trigger plate to ensure higher catch rates. The expanded size means it can be easily activated both by rodent interest in food and through accidental contact as mice scamper across the floor. Note - Firm and Sensitive setting. Trap will be easier to set on the firm side, but not trip easily. The trap will be more difficult to set on the sensitive setting, but trip easily.
Easy 4-Step Setup
For your convenience, the Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap is very easy to use. Get your trap setup by following these four simple steps:
- Release the Arm Bar - Remove the staple and move it so the arm hangs over the back of the trap.
- Bait the Trap - While the trap is pre-baited with a scent, apply bait on the plastic pedal for best results. Use a high-protein bait such as peanut butter or hazelnut spread.
- Hold Securely - Pull back the kill bar and hold it securely with your thumb.
- Set the Trap - Place the arm bar over the kill bar and secure it under the plastic pedal. Take note of the Firm and Sensitive setting. The trap will be easier to set on the firm side, but not trip as easy. The trap will be more difficult to set on the sensitive side, but trip very easily.
Location, Location, Location
Set the baited trap in areas where you have noticed high levels of rodent activity. Rodents tend to travel along walls, so placement in this location often works best. For maximum effectiveness, use multiple traps, placed at 2 to 3 foot intervals to increase results. Place the trap with the baited end flush against the wall.
Quick & Effective
Once a rodent triggers the pedal, the Wide Pedal Mouse Trap immediately springs closed to eliminate the pest on contact. After a catch, simply lift the kill bar to dispose of the mouse and reuse the trap or, dispose of the entire trap for quick, clean removal. It’s your decision!
"BEST TRAP ON THE MARKET! I purchased the easy set traps because of the tension adjustment (either hard or soft) I have tried other traps and even using a side-by-side comparison, the Victor traps captured the rodent every time. Victor is the only trap I'll buy from now on. It works, it's durable and easy to set!"

I had no problem setting ...
Jun 11, 2026
I had no problem setting the traps, they just didn’t work. I use peanut butter and every morning the peanut butter is gone, but the trap hasn’t snapped. Find the old metal triggers- they work well.

We're sorry to hear about your experience. For best results, use only a small amount of peanut butter placed deep inside the bait cup so mice must apply pressure to the pedal to reach it. Also make sure the trap is placed with the bait end against a wall where mice typically travel. If the bait is being removed without triggering the trap, the trap may not be positioned in an area where mice are approaching it correctly. We appreciate your feedback and will share your comments with our team.
I used to love your ...
Jun 8, 2026
I used to love your traps. They used to be the best you can get. But, since you've changed the plastic pedal design to the one with the v cut out of it, they are a joke. The peanut butter on the traps gets licked clean. One trap that I checked today was pushed around by a mouse and didn't even go off! Go back to the old plastic pedal design. The new one is worthless.

We're sorry to hear about your experience with the Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap. For the best results, apply only a small amount of peanut butter directly into the bait cup and make sure the trap is placed perpendicular to the wall with the baited end facing the wall, where mice naturally travel. If mice are removing the bait without triggering the trap, try using a small amount of peanut butter mixed with oats or securing the bait deeper into the bait cup to encourage more interaction with the trigger. We appreciate your feedback regarding the pedal design and will share your comments with our product team, as customer feedback is valuable in helping us improve our products.

Wouldn't set, Im 70 years old I've set mouse traps. This thing would not set !

We apologize for your experience. The Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap should set easily when the bait pedal is pressed down and the kill bar is pulled back until it locks into place. If the trap is difficult to set, please make sure the kill bar is fully engaged with the trigger mechanism and that no debris or packaging material is interfering with the pedal. If the trap still will not set properly, it may be defective. Please contact us directly so we can assist further and determine the best resolution.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear you had difficulty setting the trap. The Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap can require some practice when setting it for the first time. To set the trap, pull the kill bar back, place the bait in the bait trough, and carefully secure the arm under the trigger pedal. Holding the trap on a flat surface while setting it can help improve control. We appreciate your comments and will share them with our team as we continue working to improve our products and instructions.
These traps are not safe ...
May 13, 2026
These traps are not safe to use anymore. The staple that holds the spring part in came out and snapped on my finger. My fingernail is now turning dark and is extremely painful. I have another unused package that I’m scared to use now.

Mice are laughing their backsides off!
May 4, 2026
Both this one (CM035) and the M150 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!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the CM035 and M150 traps did not perform as expected despite the careful setup and preparation you described. We understand how frustrating it can be to deal with persistent mice, especially after following the recommended instructions and taking extra precautions during placement and baiting.
Mouse activity and feeding behavior can vary depending on the environment, available food sources, and trap placement, but we recognize your disappointment with the results you experienced. Your comments regarding the trap design and effectiveness have been shared with our product team for review. We appreciate you taking the time to provide such detailed feedback.
These traps are a JOKE!
Apr 20, 2026
These traps are a JOKE! I looked at a ton of on-line videos, including Victor's OWN videos. I even put on two pairs of latex gloves and one pair of winter gloves because I was scared to death of getting my fingers snapped off, not to mention them saying you can't transfer your scent to the trap. And I even made sure to put only a LITTLE Nutella in the yellow opening there on the plastic pedal since I heard that if you put too much, these mice can take it and NOT snap the trap. I had four traps out and after a full week, the bait was gone, but there were no mice in the traps, although there were plenty of their disgusting droppings all over! The traps were purchased at Target, but the manufacturer messed up the labelling. The traps themselves were their model 325, but the outside package printing AND Target's description say it's the M035. They offered to send me their standard metal pedal traps instead (M150). I laid four of them out yesterday, got up this morning, and again, NOTHING in the traps. I'll give it a few more days, but I'm guessing these won't work either! Hope I'm WRONG!

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed experience. We’re sorry this has been so frustrating.
Based on what you described, it sounds like the mice were able to access the bait without fully engaging the trigger. You did the right thing by using only a small amount of bait, but placement and positioning can make a big difference with this style of trap.
For best results, the trap should be set perpendicular to the wall with the bait end closest to it, so the mouse approaches directly over the trigger. Placing traps in pairs, side-by-side along active runways, can also help prevent them from reaching in from the side.
Using a more adhesive bait (like peanut butter) placed firmly into the bait cup can also make it harder for mice to remove it without triggering the trap.
We also appreciate you pointing out the labeling mismatch. That’s not something we want customers to experience, and we’ll make sure that feedback is shared.
We understand how discouraging it is to deal with ongoing activity despite your efforts, and we hope the alternate traps begin to show better results.
Ouch ....
Apr 1, 2026
Ouch ....A staple pulled out and it went off on the tip of my thumb !!!
The 2nd trap did catch a rat by it's foot so it gets the one star instead of a zero. I have used the older model for many years professionally and in my own barn. Always worked as expected. Never had one blow up in my hand ! Be extra careful !!

How are you supposed to even set these traps. the plastic pedal just slides off the trigger bar no matter what I do. These are a POS!
Question by: George on Jun 22, 2025, 12:54 PM
Hi, thank you so much for your question—we’re so sorry for the inconvenience. Based on the instructions: You should:
*Release the Arm Bar: Remove the staple and move the arm so it hangs over the back of the trap.
* Bait the Trap: While pre-baited, for best results, apply bait (like peanut butter or hazelnut spread) on the plastic pedal.
* Hold Securely: Pull back the kill bar and hold it securely with your thumb.
* Set the Trap: Place the arm bar over the kill bar and secure it under the plastic pedal. Choose between *Firm* (easier to set, less sensitive) or *Sensitive* (harder to set, more sensitive) settings.

Hi. I’m using 12 of these in my basement and already caught two mice. I’m resetting them and will be reusing them all winter. How often, if at all, should I scoop out the old peanut butter in the bait cup and replace it with new bait? The bait never gets eaten—the mice are dead before they eat anything. Do the mice care if the bait cup has three-month-old peanut butter in it?
Question by: Mike on Oct 29, 2025, 3:38 PM
We recommend using fresh bait for the best results. Applying a pea-sized amount of peanut butter in the bait cup helps maintain effectiveness and attraction. Even if the previous bait was not eaten, refreshing it periodically ensures optimal performance throughout the season.
