Victor 2-Pack Power Kill Mouse Trap

The trap is not only ingenious, but the person that designed it is a genius. Older traps have a trip plate for the bait and a kill bar. The kill bar is held down by a metal rod with a bend in it that fits in a slot in the side of the trip plate. It normally takes me a few tries to set, then I pray I can set it down without it going off and catching a finger or just scaring a few years off my life. This trap has a hole in the middle of the trip plate that surrounds the bait cup. When the trap is set it raises the trip plate slightly higher than the bait cup, so a mouse would have to step on the trip plate to get to the bait. The trap has 2 metal bars. When the kill bar is laying flat (unset) on the trap, the second bar sticks up at a 90 degree angle. To set the trap, you simply press back on the top bar until it latches in place. This raises the kill bar and the trip plate into position. I baited one trap, set it and then set it in position on the floor. The trap didn't go off while moving it or setting it in position. I baited the second trap, set it on the floor, then set the trap while bending over. That's something you couldn't do with the old traps. The last thing I like about the traps is the first thing you notice, the packaging. The plastic case containing the traps is simply hinged at the bottom making it easy to open. A lot of cases like this are heat sealed on all 4 sides, involving scissors, a knife and at least 10 minutes to get them open.

As the owner of an equine boarding facility it is inevitable that mice make frequent appearances. We have used spring loaded mouse traps for years. The traps are more reliable than our barn cats who usually end up being house cats! We use spring loaded traps because they are quick kill compared to other methods like poison-a no no around a horse barn with dogs, cats, and children. I won't even consider glue traps. Highly recommend.

I received this product and they work really well. Came as a 2 pack. We have been buying Victor products along time and they make good products.This trap you can set with one hand no worrying about your fingers getting hurt. You put the bait in the trough and pull back the bar until it clicks and your ready to go.I would recommend this product to family and friends. Thank You Victor for a great product.

I live in an urban area in Las Vegas, NV. Rats, rats, rats... We have 3 rat traps set up on top of our block walls that separate the yards. We've been catching young rats. Unfortunately, they catch on pretty quick & will no longer "take the bait". Even though these are mouse traps, they work very well. Comparable to professional traps. They are made of heavy duty plastic which is much better than the old wood type that rot away. Picture compares mouse trap to professional grade rat traps. Before you call an exterminator, I suggest trying these!

A couple of weeks ago we had 6 inches of rain and that made the mice move into my basement. I was using regular wood traps and was down to one because the others ended up with mouse blood on them so I threw them away. I had the last trap out and baited with peanut butter went down to check trap it was gone looked everywhere could not find it so I ordered these. @ days after the wood trap disappeared it showed up in middle of basement floor clean, it had been set off and all the peanut butter was gone which was really strange lol. Anyway these came today so I set them up and within 2 hours I caught a very big mouse. These worked great so gonna order some more incase I need them.

This is one of the best mouse traps available. I like that it is safer to to use than most other traps. (It is safer for me, not for the mouse!) It is easy to set and release. Peanut butter works well as does other bait. As with any mouse trap, one should take care when handling them when set, and keep them in a place where you or a child won't accidentally set them off and be injured. This precautionary note cannot be overstressed.

I received the Victor 2-Pack Power Kill Mouse Trap from Walmart Spark Reviewer for free in exchange for an honest opinion. Well, I HATE MICE AND I HATE BAITING TRAPS. So, I let my son do it for me. These do the job. Thought about the glue kind but they seem more inhumane. This is quick and easy. I refuse to go into detail. Oh, and my son also gets rid of the dead mice for me. I also refuse to take pictures of the dead mice. Just take my word for it. Good traps.

This two pack of mouse traps is pretty good. Getting two in the pack is really good. Because you usually need more than one. It is a good idea to put them in different areas so that there is a better chance of getting the results that you want. The traps look about like normal mouse traps except for the extra wide area that trips the mouse trap. And that area is very sensitive. I dropped a small folded scrap of paper on it and it went off. It would not take much for a mouse to set it off. This trap is made out of plastic and metal. The spring part is pretty much the only metal on it. Being made out of plastic it is a lighter mouse trap. So there is the possibility that it could be drug off if it did not instantly kill the mouse. When the trap goes off, it makes a very loud snap noise. And I find it very scary to me. But I do not like loud noises like this type. But hearing the noise is better than having a mouse in your house. This mouse trap is very easy to bait and set. It took less than two minutes to do. It even tells you on the box good ideas of where to put them at after baiting and setting. And the area on the mouse trap to put the bait in is really nice. It has a little trough to put stuff in. I use bird seed to set my traps and this makes it so much easier to use.

It looks very high tech to me, but once you look closer you figure out how it works. I myself don't think it will work but my husband says it will. I will keep an open mind. I think it will be easier to load and set this trap. Also easier to clean up.

I was sent the dark gray version, which works but is not a sturdy as the one pictured.
