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!

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.

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!

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.

Victor Mouse Traps
By Danny on 05/30/2013
This product works!!!
By Sue on 09/12/2013
I ordered these when I realized the brand. I had used them many years ago and had not seen them in years. After using the sticky pads, I began searching and found the Victor traps. They are easy to bait without getting fingers trapped and can be used over and over and over. Great product!!!

Go with the pro
By Harrold on 01/19/2011
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.

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-the only real mouse trap! Again
By Fredg on 08/20/2012
Caught one the first night the traps arrived and his slow friend the second. The two traps that I set are still set waiting for old #3 Mr. Meese straggler and his cheese and peanut butter eating friends. Have tried three different types of mouse traps over the last few years, the close pin squeeze to set type (worthless, you'd be better off using paper clips to gouge their eyes out or Cheese covered "No trespassing Mr. Mouse" signs). And mouse traps from China? Give your money to an alcoholic, it'll be better spent then on anything Made in China including their pretend mouse traps. Their (China) mouse traps have the strength of a dead butterfly, of zero value. My previous traps only slapped the mice and every one of them walked away laughing. The Victor traps squished their heads flat. The only good mouse is a motionless, flat headed, poppy eyed dead mouse. That makes old men like me happy. Fast shipping from Do My Own Pest Control and really strong springs in these Victor traps. I bought a dozen, so skip the other stuff, these things work.

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.
The Original Style Victor Mouse Trap: the Real McCoy
By Fr. on 08/24/2020
DoMyOwn.com leaves all the competition totally in the dust both on price, and on FreeShipping on the 10-trap base package: can't beat that! Proven original effective design that does the job. Some people still use traditional bait of cheese or peanut butter -- but cheese becomes brittle and peanut butter becomes rancid; I use jelly candy fruit slices (Orange/Cherry/etc) , saving the lion's share of the slice for me, and the small sticky square for the little varmint: they have a "sweet tooth" just like people, and moreover -- they die happy! Have actually had it happen, that the "hair-trigger" trap went off without any mouse caught in it -- instead, alongside the trap lay the corpse of the little bugger, having died of an apparent heart attack, the nearly same sort sensation having the hair-trigger" trap go off in one's hands whilst positioning it... Wonderful that the traps are still being made!...
Great trap, great price

Can't Be Beat
By Joe on 07/03/2020
I have used this traditional wooden/simple catch spring Victor trap for 50+ years. I have tried the more modern designs, but nothing beats the old Victor. Why make catching mice technologically advanced and more complicated when you don't have to? Kudos to DoMyOwn for continuing to stock it.
