Great trap but beware!
By Jess on 05/19/2011
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!

Victor M040 mouse traps
By Jess on 06/09/2011
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!

Old-Tyme Workhorse Does the Job
By Snowtrekker7 on 09/02/2012
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.

Old Timey Mouse Trap
By Anonymous on 08/26/2013
Why change what works? Purchased 12 of these traps and set all but 3 due to bait lever missing (some defects got past quality control), still a great value! Caught seven mice in five days. We knew we had been invaded and had to act quick. My order came quick and it was nice to receive at my door. These old timey ones work the best! Thank you DoMyOwnPest Control for having the product I was looking to purchase!!!

Fast Shipping - The best traps
By Bob on 12/16/2012
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!

Victor Mouse traps via internet
By Jane on 08/11/2012
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.

Best bang (er, snap) for your buck
By Mouse-free on 11/06/2011
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.

Victor Mouse Trap M040--Very Effective
By Mark on 09/21/2011
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.

It ain't broke, so why fix it?
By Evreit on 02/20/2026
Recently had a mouse incursion in my garage. I went out shopping for mousetraps and all I could find locally were sticky traps and re-engineered plastic traps. We are trying to eliminate plastics from our lives/home/environment so the "new fangled" plastic "better" mousetraps were very unattractive. I went to DoMyOwn and found exactly what I was looking for, Traditional wood and metal mouse traps. The ones that have worked for a hundred years. Set up 4 traps the first night and caught one mouse that night and another the next. Took a little long for the delivery but... worth the wait.

25+ Mice Dead
By Al on 01/24/2025
Bought 12 traps and killed over 25 mice in just a week. No more mice left now. Works great with peanut butter bait. Can adjust the bar on the trap trigger for more sensitivity for an easier kill. Great traps and always Victor traps are my first choice. Best price for these Victor traps in right here on domyown.com https://ibb.co/Y0MFyMw

Best Traps Ever, Stick with the Classic Style
By Rachael on 01/27/2022
These traps work far better than the newer ones with the plastic style bait station. And just so you know, the BEST bait ever is tootsie roll!!! It doesn't go stale like peanut butter or cheese and the mice love it. Just warm up a bit of the tootsie roll and mold it into the bait station.

Reliable
By Shave on 03/06/2021
I let my son set 2 of these up. He set them wrong , and the mice got comfortable. I showed him how to properly set them and then he re-deployed them. They worked flawlessly. Two mice down, not sure how many more to go. There are many traps out there, but this style of trap seems to get them every time.

best mouse traps
By Jane on 10/23/2020
Have always used Victor mouse traps. Couldn't find them so I bought a cheap knockoff, didn't catch any. Ordered Victor on line, the day they arrived I set the traps, that night caught 4. No more mice for right now. I live in the edge of the woods and it is getting cold, so they will be looking for a warm place, but the Victor Mouse traps well take care of that.
