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!"

Helpfulness
I'm a licensed pest control ...
Sep 29, 2026
I'm a licensed pest control applicator and have used these snap traps for almost 10 years. I don't know what has happened with the quality control at Victor but the customer shouldn't have to adjust the trigger so the snap trap will actually set. They used to come out of the bulk box ready to go, now they need to be manipulated to not get set off immediately and in a retail commercial environment this is unacceptable. Please do better in the quality control.
I can't give a one star rating because I have killed 10s of thousands of mice with these snap traps.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear about the recent change in the performance of our snap traps and the additional adjustments you’ve had to make before they can be properly set.
We understand how frustrating this can be, especially in a professional pest control environment where traps need to be ready to use and perform consistently. We also truly appreciate your nearly 10 years of experience using our traps and your recognition of how effective they have been for you over the years.
Your comments regarding the trigger and quality control are important to us, and we’ll be sure to share your feedback with the appropriate team for review. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your continued feedback.
Terrible design
Sep 21, 2026
Purchased 6 traps. Initially able to set all. Attempted to reset them and cannot get even one to set. Bar slips out of trigger plate. As a design engineer of 40 years this is a terrible design.

Thank you for the detailed feedback. This trap uses a Firm and Sensitive setting: Firm is easier to set but takes more pressure to trip, while Sensitive is harder to set but trips more easily, and using the Firm setting can help the arm bar seat more securely under the pedal while resetting. Make sure the arm bar is fully seated under the plastic pedal before releasing your hold, and place the trap on a flat, stable surface, since an uneven surface can cause the bar to slip out during setting. A very small amount of bait applied directly in the bait cup, rather than on the pedal itself, can also help prevent slipping.
Do not buy this product!!!
Sep 11, 2026
I bought a dozen of these traps. I somehow got one of them to set properly, but the next four traps I could not set. I tried maybe 20 times each and every one of them eventually broke from too many snaps. And yes, I watched all the instructional videos. I even tried to set them upside down but once I turn them right side up they snapped under their own weight (with no bait). These things are ridiculous and you should not be selling them. They were a total waste of my money.

We’re sorry to hear you had difficulty setting your Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Traps. For best results, make sure the trap is placed on a stable, level surface and the bait is applied to the bait cup without interfering with the trigger mechanism. When setting the trap, keep your fingers clear of the snap area and slowly engage the pedal until it locks securely into position. If the trap releases before bait is added, check that the trigger and pedal are properly aligned and that no debris is interfering with the mechanism. We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope these tips help with setting the remaining traps.
Using plastic on this device is a poor choice.
Sep 10, 2026
Using plastic on this device has made it extremely difficult to set up. It appears that if the bait weighs anything at all, it triggers it. The all metal version and wood has worked for years extremely well and has a very simple design. Why did they change the design?
Response from Admin
Sep 11, 2026
We’re sorry to hear the Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap has been difficult to use. The plastic pedal is designed to provide a sensitive trigger, so a small amount of bait can activate the trap. For best results, use only a small amount of bait and place it directly on the bait area without adding extra weight. When setting the trap, make sure the pedal and trigger mechanism are properly aligned before placing it. The updated design was developed to provide a sensitive trigger while offering a durable, reusable trap. We appreciate your feedback on the previous metal and wood designs and will share your comments with our product team.

While setting the trap for the second time a staple holding the bar down came out. So I was holding the bar down but then everything pivoted and the short end of the FULLY LOADED SPRING hit the edge of my index finger. Still sore 3 days later. A hair trigger isn't the only problem with these POS

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap and especially that you injured your finger while setting it. For your safety, please use caution when setting the trap and keep fingers clear of the snap bar and spring mechanism. If the trap’s staple or any component becomes loose or detached, discontinue use of that trap and replace it rather than attempting to reset it. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will share your feedback with our product team.

Jun 22, 2026
I'm with the other 70% giving the recent traditional snap traps a one star rating. The build of the trap will not allow proper setting of it. I've been using these for years and now they're unusable out of the box. PSA:
Do not purchase the plastic version. Unfortunately they're a downgrade from the traditional.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience with the Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap. We understand how frustrating it is when a trap does not set properly.
If the trap isn't staying set, make sure the trigger rod is positioned in the small notch on the yellow pedal and that the pedal is held fully down while setting the trap. Even a slight misalignment can prevent it from latching correctly. If the trap still won't set after confirming the setup, it may be defective.
We appreciate you sharing your experience, as customer feedback helps us continue improving our products.
Mice keep cleaning off the bait!
Jun 19, 2026
Mice keep cleaning the pb off and not setting it off compared to the old metal pedal style. These are junk.
Response from Admin

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you've been disappointed with the performance of the trap.
For best results, try using only a small amount of peanut butter, about the size of a pea, and place it deep in the bait cup so mice must apply pressure to reach it. Using too much bait can sometimes allow mice to remove it without fully engaging the trigger.
Placing traps along walls and in areas where you've noticed mouse activity can also improve success rates.
We appreciate your comments and will share your feedback with our product team.
I like the wide pedal ...
Jun 14, 2026
I like the wide pedal vs. the thin metal ones. I have found if I use food ants eat it clean without setting off the trap. So instead I crazy glue a black seed oil to the wide pedal trap (this is difficult to do on the old thin metal pedal). I catch lots of mice this way as they have to apply pressure to try to get it and ants don't eat the seed. No free lunch in my house :-)
I had no problem setting ...

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.

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.

Where is the best place to put the bait? Inside the little cup or should I also put some out on the pedal, say in the V? The mice keep stealing the bait in the little cup without setting it off, even though it is on the sensitive setting. At this point, I'm just feeding them peanut butter every night. Need clearer instructions regarding where to place the bait on the pedal.
Question by: John on Jul 21, 2026, 7:01 AM
For the Victor® Wide Pedal Mouse Trap, place a small amount of bait inside the bait cup only. A pea-sized amount of peanut butter is usually enough. Pressing the bait firmly into the cup helps prevent mice from removing it without triggering the trap.
Avoid placing additional bait on the pedal or in the "V" area, as this can allow mice to access the bait without putting enough pressure on the trigger.
For the best results, place the trap with the baited end against a wall where you've seen mouse activity, as mice tend to travel along walls and edges.

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.
