Best Traps Ever
By Willie on 11/11/2010
First the bad news. Although the traps were received promptly, they came loosely packed in a box and instead of a case of 72 traps, only 71 were received. I also purchased the Provoke Mouse Attractant which was included in the same box. We had been hearing mice and occasionally I would catch one but I knew they were still there. I had been using other brands and models of traps previously and was becoming frustrated when I found my pecan butter bait missing but the traps unsprung. The first day I set out 5 Victor M325 traps using the Provoke and Pecan Butter. The Provoke goes into a little indentation on the top of the trap and I pushed the pecan butter up through the bottom of the “V” cutout. The next morning, I had 4 dead mice. I replaced the 4 traps with new traps and the following morning I had 2 more mice. Then 1 more on 4 subsequent days until I had caught 10 mice altogether. Then no mice for about a week followed by one additional victim. My wife and I had no idea that we had so many mice. These traps are the best mouse catchers that I have come across. I set all the traps for maximum sensitivity and none of the traps have had the bait taken without catching the culprit. I don’t know if the Provoke makes the traps more effective, but it seems worth the small added cost. Victor M325 traps get my unqualified recommendation.

Victor Mouse Trap
By Jr on 03/14/2010
This is probably the worst mouse trap I've ever used. Not hard to set but is not sensitive enough to catch a mouse. Does not work, baited or unbaited. When baited the mouse gets the bait every time and does not trip the trap. A total waste of money in my opinion.

Worth buying
By Jess on 11/03/2011
I thought the old style Victor traps were better than these and bought a case of the old style. Well, I hate to go back on a previous review but these M325 traps have their time and place too. I've had problems recently with "smart" mice licking the peanut butter off of the 040 traps' metal triggers and the yellow 325 traps will nail them when you place the peanut butter in the bait cup and set the trigger so that the rod JUST BARELY will hold the trigger set. Use the most sensitive setting possible. Smart mice (I think) have more of a tendency to rest their paws on the trigger of this trap since it is larger and, even if unbaited, they apparently will step on the trigger if the trap is placed at a right angle to the wall. (trigger facing wall) Bottom line. Use BOTH styles of traps. I'm going to get a case of this new style. And, most of the time, the old style is great too. Hey! Maybe Domyownpestcontrol could offer a mixed case of 50/50 of each type?

Victor Mouse Trap M325
By Ken on 05/12/2010
I have used these traps many years, but I was only able to get 2 or 3 at a time from the local hardware store. When I found DoMyOwnPestControl.com and that I could get a box of 72 I bought them, I didn't want to go looking for them again. These traps set very easy and trip with the slightest touch you only bait the trap once and catch many mice. The mice can't get to the bait cup without setting off the trap, NO licked clean traps. The best trap around.

Great!
By Rick on 01/22/2008
The Victor Mouse Trap M325 Pro is great! We live in a new development, so there are obviously fields nearby that have mice living in them. They come to get warm in the winter and they don't leave...alive! We get them right away as they come in through the garage and there is no sign of an infestation.

Mouse traps
By Dave on 06/26/2011
Pro version worst, old style the best
By Corey on 01/31/2011
I purchased the new style traps with the plastic trip mechanism, these things are basically a mouse feeder. Even on the most sensitive setting, 14 traps 14 licked clean. The old style metal traps are still the best, switched last weekend, had mice after the first day. They are a little harder to set because they are quite sensitive but they WORK!!! The older method is still the best.

Victor Mouse Trap M325

Tricky to Set
By Kevin on 10/20/2010
Works great
By D. on 01/12/2011
These work great for catching mice, simply put a little peanut butter in the rectangular box at the base of the yellow trigger. Make sure you buy enough of them, you want to kill as many mice as possible before they become shy of the traps.

Shorted just under a case
By Peter on 11/16/2011
Excellent
By Mn on 10/10/2013
I use these traps daily, I am a PCT, we do not use any bait on these, we set the setting on the "F" setting and place the trigger flush against a wall due to the mice running along walls and they will just run right through the trigger setting it off, very rare to have a miss fire, and not baiting allows for no licking the trap clean. People having problems with the trap being licked clean must be setting the trap improperly

Snap Traps

Best mouse trap made
By Bps on 11/08/2011
These are the best mouse traps on the market. The price just makes them better still. I use them all the time in my large shop and around my yard for mice and voles without any bait whatsoever. They work very well. I have caught dozens of mice and voles with these without bait.

new style victor mouse trap lousey
By Katie on 07/09/2014
Great Trap, better then the old "cheese holder" Vic
By Alan on 04/25/2014
I used to bait these traps with peanut butter but soon realized that ants were taking the bait without setting off the trap. I had great success spreading 12 traps all over the house (garage door, around food, foundation ledges..ect. only moving the ones around that didn't catch something after a week. I figured out pretty quickly where they were getting in to the house. Now I leave the traps out unbaited year round and I catch a couple of mice/voles in the spring and a couple again in the fall. Sure I can fix the holes they are coming in, or burn down my neighbors giant unkept shed/wood pile mouse brothel... But for this price and the satisfaction of wacking these trespassers... it's worth it. BTW these trap springs do lose there power so they should be swapped out every year or if they get wet. And if you find a sprung trap that mouse will not be caught in that set again, try using bait then or a different bait and switch up the set somehow to fool that one... like putting two or three traps side by side.

Great Price and Great Service
By Gary on 09/12/2011
I ordered six dozen traps for the same money you'd pay for four dozen at the local hardware store. They came super-fast and the follow-up with the Company was great. If you have mice and want to snap-trap 'em, then DoMyOwnPestControl should be your vendor

victor mouse traps m325
By Randy on 11/06/2020
Effective, easy, economical
By Stu on 12/03/2018
These traps are the best and cheapest I've ever used. I set out 12 and got a dozen mice the first night. I reset them again and got another dozen mice. A little dab of peanut butter is all it takes to get a mouse, each time, every time. I use them over and over with no loss of effectiveness. These are super-easy and fast to set. I highly recommend this brand and type for maximum kill without using dangerous poison. Gotta love the cheap price, too. (I wonder if dead mice would be good for fish bait.)

Most effective ever!
By Glenn on 10/19/2017
We have always lived in rural areas, and have always had armies of mice move in every autumn. So we have tons of mouse trap experience. We met a professional exterminator a few months ago, and he gave us four of these M325's. So we set four standard Victor pedal traps, and the four M325, a few weeks ago. We caught nine critters with the M325's, and one with the pedal traps. We are fairly expert with the pedal traps, but we won't use them any more. We're buying a bunch of M325 units.

Mouse trap
By Joan on 04/30/2017
This the worst mouse trap I have ever seen. You can not bait them and set them what a piece of crap. I purchased 2 pkgs of four, not one of them could I set, as soon as I started to place the trap on the floor it would go off. These inferior things were probably made in china

POS trap
By Kent on 09/05/2022
Even better than the "old" style traps
By Chris on 09/28/2012
I am a landlord, so have become an expert in catching mice - unfortunately. I find these traps to be better than the "old" style victors with the metal bait holder as they don't give up the bait without tripping. I came here to buy them by the case as I need so many and am tired of buying them 4 at a time. I do see some other reviews saying that they are losing the bait on these too, I have never seen that, but will keep some old styles around also in case some of the mice figure these out.
