ONLY way to go
5 of 5 stars
By M.b. on 10/23/2008

Thees Victor Mouse Traps are the ONLY way to go, as all the competitors' traps are not worth the trouble to buy and carry home. We have had Tom-Kat traps (ain't worth a darn) and some of the others on…

By Jill on 11/12/2006

I live on a farm. My hobby is to go out every day and get the hay for my loving animals. See, I had no problem with this, until I saw at least 20 mice scurrying around my hay stacks! They would burrow…

M040 Mouse Trap
2 of 5 stars
By Anonymous in N/A on 06/23/2013

The mice seem to avoid getting caught in the mouse traps with the big yellow piece of plastic where you put the peanut butter which is weird. The trap in this picture works great with the metal bait h…

Victor-the only real mouse trap!
5 of 5 stars
By Freg in Delaware on 08/17/2012

Bought a dozen of these Victor mouse traps because the Dollar store and Walmart only sell junk from China. All of it worthless, inferior garbage. Their mouse traps were weak, lost their slap power wit…

Set the trigger as light as possible
5 of 5 stars
By Rich in Hayward, California on 05/10/2011

The plastic trigger is the best. I don't use bait. Set the trigger metal arm so it just barely catches the plastic trigger. The plastic trigger if done right will be laying down almost flat.

Best trap out there
5 of 5 stars
By L. in YUCAIPA on 06/25/2014

I have used so many other traps but to no success. The key to this trap is to NOT use peanut butter because the rat just licks it off but to use an actual peanut in the shell. Lodge the nut tight into…

By Rodney in Oak Creek,Wisconsin on 01/25/2015

Old school mouse traps
5 of 5 stars
By Tod in East Ridge on 03/30/2011

The newer mouse traps with the glue inside them only leave the hair of the rodent without the capture of the rodent. The old school traps, meaning the M040 traps, did the job within 24 hours.  Pl…

They work
5 of 5 stars
By Shorty in MA on 12/30/2011

We've had better luck with the old fashioned metal bait pad than the new plastic ones. Fewer traps cleaned out without snapping. Hit rate with these is ~85% vs. ~50% for the plastic

By Chris in Slingerlands, ny on 09/28/2012

These really work, unlike competitors. However Victors traps with the yellow plastic bait tray are better with fewer false trips, though they are harder to set.v

Still the Best!
5 of 5 stars
By Kc in New Jersey on 03/28/2012

I have trouble finding these in stores but they are the best. If you mash the bait into the sprue they never miss. None of the other similar traps work as well as these.
