Victor Mouse Traps M035-12, Plastic Pedal, Sustainably Sourced FSC Wood, Wooden Mouse Traps, 12 PackThe Forest Stewardship Council

These are working very well for me. They are very easy to set IF you watch the video on YouTube. Until then, I was having all sorts of problems setting them off while arming. I almost sent them back. But, I watched the video, practiced a few times and now it's easy. I think these are easier to set than the old standard version. And the yellow pad gives a lot bigger area for the mouse to hit. Take the time to learn how to set them, and I think you'll be happy. I am. Highly recommend.

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.

Exactly as advertised. Got the huge mouse in our house. Easy to use, works as advertised, low cost and works great.

These mousetraps are really great, and every mouse that has triggered one has met the same grim fate. HOWEVER, I do prefer the version of these traps with the metal tab trigger mechanism. For two of these, I tried multiple times to set the trigger, but the mechanism kept slipping, snapping the trap shut and scaring the bejesus out of me. I've never have that issue with the metal tab release, and that version kills mice just as dead. I will say that for all but those two (which were likely defective), the trigger set fine. Note that for both the metal and plastic triggers, these are, as others have noted, extremely sensitive.

Excellent but don’t use peanut butter, as mice do in fact lick it all off without setting the trap off. I watched one of them do it right in front of me.Something else was needed.See the attached photos of the deadly dried spaghetti bread ball of death. It is 100% effective.1) Take a small piece of bread and roll into tight ball.2) Take about a half-inch to an inch of dried spaghetti and insert through the bread ball.3) Carefully place one end of spaghetti through the end of the trigger spoon.4) CAREFULLY set trap.⚠️CAUTION!⚠️ The breadball makes the trigger extra sensitive! That’s the good and the bad news. You will want to set it up in the location where you want the trap to go so you don’t have to move it much yourself. A mouse so much as brushes its whiskers against the bread or the pasta and wham!Once you figure out how to place it without setting it off yourself, you’ll have success and start whistling the theme from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. I have got close to ten mice in our barn in just a matter of days with this method.
