VICTOR Easy Set Mouse Trap - 2Pk

Mice are so dangerous. Not only famous for carrying Lyme ticks & Lyme disease, you can also catch hantavirus pulmonary syndrome when you come in contact with mouse feces, urine or saliva. This rare disease can cause death if not treated early on. I have found these traps to work the best when stuff a little peanut butter inside the little cubby hole in the yellow plastic. Then place it perpendicular to the wall (NOT parallel). You want the bar to be coming town towards the wall, not parallel to the way as mice run along the walls and you want them reaching over and pushing down on the yellow. I constantly catch mice in these!

These are the only brand I will use. Only one that reliably gets the critter vs. having bait stolen and not snapping. That does make them a little more fiddly to set properly. I use a stick under the baited panel to hold it in place while I slide the set trap into position.

great value works great

Had to adjust a few to get it to work. Gets the job done. Good price

We had mice in our [outdoor] kitchen. Big mice - I was afraid it was a rat. They were eating my produce (sweet potato, cantaloupe, tomato, etc.) and getting fat. One trap with a little peanut butter defeated both vermin, and now I don't know what to do with the three extra mousetraps.

I have used Victor mouse traps for 75 years. Reviewers complained about the quality of Victor traps; so I bought two of each type of Victor mouse trap to see if they were still made as well as the old ones that I have used for years. I bought two taps of this type, which looked similar to an old one I still use with success. Both these traps arrived and they looked like the one I had, but looks were deceiving. I baited each one and tried to set them, but they kept triggering off before I could even set them on the floor. I tried to set each one many times, but I could not get either trap to stay set for more than a few seconds before it would trigger off. A close examination revealed that the trigger mechanism is never going to work because the trap itself and the trigger mechanism are not properly made. My old one has worked reliably for years, but these new traps are poorly made. It is not worth my time to return this junk to Amazon; so into the trashcan they go. I also bought two of Victors other type mouse trap, which is the type I first used in the late 1940's. Of those two traps one worked and caught a mouse. The other trap went off the first night and the entire trap mechanism blew apart but the lucky mouse got away safely. Thus out of 4 Victor mouse traps purchased, I got one that works and the garbage man will get the other three. Too bad Victor can't make a reliable mouse trap like they did decades ago. I guess the Victor company has sacrificed quality to make a cheap product that the consumer has to throw away. I am sure the Victor company does not suffer losing the business of this very old man, but perhaps you younger folks can learn from my experience and save your money. It is sad to see American manufacturing quality decline to the level of Chinese made junk!

This trap is easy to setup and is very effective.

Good traps, however they are very small. If you are trying to catch large mice or small rats, you might consider buying bigger ones.
