Customer Reviews for Victor Mouse Trap M040

I've tried other types of snap traps, glues, bait boxes – nothing comes close to the simple Victor trap (I've tried the yellow Victor traps and didn't like them as much, they're too sensitive). With glues the mice usually end up alive, peeping in pain, it's awful. With baits the mouse ends up dying somewhere and smelling up the place. These snap traps are a quick kill with a very high mortality rate. I've had a few super speedy mice escape the trap, but this is very rare. Put a little peanut butter on it, mice can't resist it.

This is the tried and true mouse trap of years gone by. Works all the time. Do My Own Pest Control has kept the price very reasonable. I'm very satisfied with the product and the vendor.

I have used these for years. They just work, and can be re used many times. They are getting hard to find, over the more "high tech" or "pre baited" (Don't work) snappers, and glue or poison. I opt out of poison for a home, since the rodent can die in the walls (pew) and glue can take days to kill (cruel)The only problem is that kids and other disturbances can set them off, and effective baiting takes a little practice. Why re-invent the wheel? Great trap and dirt cheap! Thanks for the very speedy service.

A real simple solution for the user - a real pain in the neck for the mouse!

This is it, the single best mousetrap on the market. Buy a bunch and deploy them all. You can tune the trigger tongue for maximal sensitivity... to get even the most clever mice. These work. I had a couple of very sneaky city mice that were just too smart for the crummy new-style traps. I got a kill on night one with these, and got a mouse a night for a week afterward. The infestation is now over, thanks to the effectiveness of these traps.

The victor mouse traps are the best. We like them very much.

We were VERY pleased to be able to order these traps online. We had a mouse outbreak in the neighborhood and only had OLD traps -- not sensitive enough and were being "robbed" regularly. When I ordered from another company closer, the items were back ordered. With the help of Google, we found this company further away, but they shipped our order quickly. We are very thankful for such efficient service! Mice are now gone..........

I've been using the traditional Victor mouse traps for years and just recently tried the Pro model. I strongly recommend the Pro model, it's the one with the plastic yellow bait holder and is easier to set. I've tried Tomcat and Pic traps, but they're not sensitive enough. The mouse either gets the bait or gets brutally injured and then I have to kill it to put it out of it's misery. I'm having a 100 percent kill rate with these traps. It's the most cost effective way to deal with minor to moderate mouse problems especially if you have pets. I don't like poison because the mouse dies and you don't know where it is. It could be stinking up the place and you'll never find it.

These are the older model traps that always work. I had been looking for these traps in our local stores and could not find them. DoMyOwnPestControl delivered them to my front door.

I just bought a pack of these, placed two near an entry point where a mouse had been going into the attic and caught the mouse. More humane and environmentally sound than most alternatives, these work well.

I put 2 mousetraps near a garage entrance where a mouse had been entering to go up to the attic and the mouse was caught in 2 days. I didn't use bait. No chemicals and more humane than poison.

Quite simply, they're doing the job catching mice. Every mousetrap I've set thus far, with peanut butter as the enticement, has yielded a dead mouse.

The trap that you bait is better than the ones with that yellow bait, but you cannot find the M040 in the stores. I do not know why not.

I'm currently debating whether to purchase this "old style" trap or go with the yellow trigger model. The yellow trigger model is less likely to snap your finger and you can set it very sensitive by pushing the pedal down till the trigger bar "lip" is just barely engaged by the trigger rod---sensitive! But, the old style traps seem to have a slightly better catch ratio. Plus, where can you buy the old style anymore? There, I've convinced myself! I'm ordering a full case of these old style!

I will never again try any trap that contains plastic. They never work. And I would definitely order from this site again. Fast and cheap!

Finally was able to find a place that sold the old style victor mouse traps with the metal trigger pan! Got a full case of 72 and at a super great price. These traps can't be beat. The newer, plastic pan, traps are ok but the metal pan seems to do a bit better. DoMyOwnPestControl.com is the place to shop!

Hard to buy this model of mouse trap in the stores so I was happy to find it at a fair price. The order was easy to place and arrived very quickly. Thanks

I had previously used Victor Mouse Traps to kill mice that enter the attached garage when the weather turns cool and found them to be very effective when baited with peanut butter. Unfortunately, they are hard to find locally and I tried a couple of other brands such as Tomcat (from Lowe's) which were "mouse feeders" more often than mouse traps. DoMyOwnPestControl has one of the lowest per-trap prices I found and delivery was prompt. We're sharing with a couple of other families and the 72 traps should satisfy our needs for several fall seasons. BTW, the Victor Mouse trap with the yellow trigger also works well when baited with peanut butter, but is no more effective than model M040 and costs more.

Victor traps have sleek, smooth brass that does not add resistance to the release of the spring. No oxidation and they are so sensitive, I've only used 5 to clear my garage of mice. No traps were cleaned of peanut butter, it "got" them on the first nibble. I ordered 72 so I would have a lifetime (mine) supply. Much more humane than poison; no better way to reign death down on the nasty vermin.

We've tried many brands, only to find them empty and not tripped. These are the only ones that consistently do the job, as unpleasant as it is.

Victor mouse traps (metal pan) are excellent. Keeping my pole barns mouse free. Delivery was excellent too. 2-3 days. I hate the plastic pan ones.

I love these "old Fashioned" traps and they are reliable and easy to set, unlike the "new" ones with the plastic pedal for bait. I live in an OLD house and believe these traps are safest (no poison) as I have other animals, and more humane (quick death) than the sticky pads, etc. I could not find them in local stores and was pleased to locate them on internet.

My problem was voles digging up my garden. I had purchased some Tomcat brand mouse traps at our local grocery store. After putting them into use, two of them broke, several set themselves off with nothing caught and 3 had the "cheese" square pop off. So I ordered a dozen Victor mouse traps with the metal bait station. Wow! I could see the difference right away. The Victor trap has a much more powerful spring mechanism and the metal parts and method of attachment to the wooden base are sturdier than the same on the Tomcat traps. When I put the Victor traps into use, I quickly caught 6 voles with no damage to the traps.

They were renovating the apartment downstairs and two little field mice decided to move in with me. They were only here one day. These traps are easy to use and very effective.

This was shipped very fast; ordered on a weekend and had it within a couple of days. I could only find the traps with the plastic cheese bait - which mainly served to feed my growing mouse population in my garage. No where near sensitive enough. I even watched one mouse feeding off it. The first night I set out 4 of these and got four mice; in fact, I got 11 the first few nights, the bait was taken without it tripping only once. Is 72 too many? I live in a subdivision surrounded by a dairy farm; I prefer not to reuse if I can. I am sure I will use all of them over time - and no more looking in stores for them! I am very happy with my purchase from this company!
