The first time used, we put peanut butter in the bait cup and set it next to active vole holes with a bin over the top so larger animals wouldn’t mess with it. The next day, all the peanut butter was cleaned out of the bait cup and the trap had not been tripped. What good is a trap that it’s just a feeder… it doesn’t have the sensitivity to go off when something is eating out of it.

We're sorry to hear that! If you test the trap (carefully!) with a pencil or something similar, does it trip properly? If it does, try baiting the trap using only a small amount of peanut butter (just what fits on the end of a toothpick). By using a smaller amount, the rats are less likely to be able to quickly grab the bait and run without setting off the trap.

These are much safer and easier to use than the large old fashioned oversized “mouse traps”!

The spring on this trap is way too strong. It is VERY difficult and dangerous to set the trap. I will be returning the trap.

Oh no! We are so sorry to hear about this unusual experience. It could be that you are dealing with mice, who may not be heavy enough to trigger these traps. We also recommend baiting them using a tiny bit of peanut butter for best results (basically, what fits on the end of a toothpick). Please feel free to give us a call at 855-584-2867 for further assistance.

These Victor traps last about three uses before they don’t work well. The tomcat brand often breaks after one use. The tiny plastic parts holding the strong spring against the top of the trap breaks.
The victor lasts a few uses before it is difficult to latch them correctly. It’s better than tomcat traps.

They traps are the real deal. Got three rats in 4 days. Easy to set and they have a hair trigger. Where you load the bait is good too. Definitely recommend

I've had success with this model trap in the past, but this particular one is difficult to set (won't catch) and doesn't seem to trigger properly. Normally it triggers when feeding and makes a clean kill on the head/neck, but I've had 3 catches all by the tail or rear leg, necessitating a kill of the wounded animal. I think I'll try to exchange it for another one and see if it works better.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We're sorry to hear about your recent experience with this trap. These concerns have been shared with our Product Manager. If the rats are running by the trap and not directly facing the petal when it triggers, other parts of the rodent may be caught. Our traps have a 30 day return policy.

Trap is too stiff and doesn’t go off. The rats just get fed every night without any consequences.
The old wooden traps are best. Will return these traps (all 3).
