Victor Mouse Traps M150-12, Metal Pedal, Sustainably Sourced FSC Wood, Wooden Mouse Traps, 12 Medal Pedal Traps

Old style is the best, no huge yellow plastic tray, just a simple and proven trap that gets the job done. Took care of my mouse problem in short order!!

I get why this is the classic, this works! No need to go fancy, just stick with the classics and it will prove itself. We are a clean household but unfortunately we had a visitor who came and dispute everything we've done to keep it away, the little visitor won't leave! We don't leave any food out. All of our foods are in storage containers but then this one doesn't give a f. We only have a few droppings so we narrowed it down to 1, at most 2. We tried poison, we tried cleaning up their scent trail but nada. We also used the regular Victor baits and this mf just licked the bait off without setting the triggers. So we brought out the yellow snap traps, used salmon dog treat and glued it down. Next day, we woke up to a dead mouse. Definitely far from a pretty sight but it works. This bait is the best because the sensitivity level is HIGH and it gives a clean kill. Mice are smart, but we can outsmart them.

I'm back to buy my second box, These simple mouse traps work perfectly every time! All you have to do is bait it right and place it where mice travel. Last year I had some grain stored in my garage, and did not realize it was drawing mice until my garage was overrun. I have used other traps in the past, but my husband always used this kind, and he always caught any mice that showed up. in our house, so I bought this box of 20 traps because I do not reuse them, just toss them in the garbage with the mouse still in the trap. I just kept trapping them until they were all gone. But this winter, though I have not had mice in my house in years, I saw one run between the wall and my fridge. I still had 4 traps left from last year so I started setting traps down in that small space between my fridge and the wall.There is one mistake that some people make, and then complain that the traps don't work. That is to use only peanut butter as bait, or too small a piece of cheese. Peanut butter is too soft, so if a mouse is careful he can lick it off without setting the trap off. My husband always used a good chunk of cheese that took up the whole metal tongue except where the latch goes, and he pressed the cheese hard onto the tongue, so it was not easy for the mouse to get it off the tongue. This year I did not have solid cheese, so I used grated cheese, squished it together tightly using a small dab of peanut butter to bond the cheese shreds together, then pressed it onto the tongue and mounded it up as much as would go on the tongue without interfering with the latch. The only time it failed to catch a mouse, is when I put a little too much peanut butter, and the mouse was able to steal it without setting off the trap. I re-set the same trap and it caught a mouse, so I know the trap was not faulty, just my bait. Between last year and this winter, I have used 18 traps and caught a mouse with every one. But I probably have more, so i am back to order more traps.Let me just conclude here, that there is no need to buy more expensive traps These may be a little more sensitive to set (I couldn't remember how, so I looked it up on you tube), but if you bait them right, and place them well, there could not be a more effective trap. The bait is most important, but if you use an adequate amount of firm cheese, press it onto the tongue well, then add a touch of peanut butter on the cheese, then set the trap, when these traps stop catching mice, its because your mice are all gone, or you need to find another place to set the traps.

I used a Victor electric trap years ago for a backyard rat, so I knew it worked as we caught a big one back then. Recently, I saw mouse droppings under the kitchen sink and found my old trap—unfortunately, it didn’t light up anymore. I figured it was just too old and capacitor might have died, so I ordered this one from Amazon right away.While waiting, I also picked up some Victor snap traps and glue traps of another brand from a local store. Here's how everything performed:Snap trap: Caught 2 mice in the garage over 3 nights. On 2nd night, the bait was licked off but the trap didn’t trigger. I guess it depends on individual trap's sensitiveness. I did find some are more easier to snap when installing them. For the 3rd night, I actually placed 4 traps as 2 pairs side by side. Up on close examination, the peanut butter is gone from the rest of the 3 as well, and the one caught the mouse is the most sensitive one indeed.Electric trap: First night, bait was gone and light was blinking, but no catch. Second night, it worked— we got the mouse.Glue traps: I placed 4 (one under sink and three on the kitchen floor) but caught nothing. I hope it's because we only have that one mouse in the cabinet.Ease of use: Some say the bait area is too small—just put peanut butter on the inside of the flip cover (credit to another reviewer’s photo). And yes, emptying the trap is super easy: flip the lid and drop the mouse out. No mess.Overall, effective and easy to use.Update:Caught another one after two nights without activity. Peanut butter is gone, and the mouse’s head is point to the exit. It’s a smaller size one, if it hopped between the two metal plates, it might have escaped. I think that’s what happened on first day, peanut butter was gone, but nothing got caught.Update 2:Caught another one the first night I moved the electric tap to garage. This little mouse licked peanut butter off two snap traps, but it can’t escape the electric one.
