Victor Metal Pedal Mouse Trap Instructional Video

How to use and set the Victor Metal Pedal Mouse Trap.

I love these old style Victor traps. Simple, cheap, and effective. I found two victims this morning. Hoping for more tonight. 👍

THANK YOU FOR HAVING A CLOSE-UP OF THE ARM!! I watched 5+ videos that did not address the arm being set horizontally; fantastic short, and to the point instructional video. Thank you!

Been using these for a few years. 100% my favorite trap. I have learned a few tricks to make them more effective on small mice that are able to clean the peanut butter out from even the inside of that pedal. The latch bar hook can be bent away from the camera side to make it more sensitive, I also crimp the bait loop down on the near side as shown so they are forced to lick and push the pedal from the far side. caught two in the last hour after they've been cleaning them of the bait this last week.

FYI - I've heard crunchy peanut butter is more effective than regular peanut butter. Takes the mice more effort to eat the crunchy stuff, and therefore will make it more likely they'll set the trigger.

Thank god you came along and instructed us how to do this!!! I've never been able to figure out how this complicated device was to be set up and used! Now, could you show us how to use a bottle opener??? Thank god you made this video!!!!

Helpful video. But I wish the packaging had a better close up of attaching the arm to the bait so I didn't have to look this up.

Every day I've been catching a mouse with these traps. They're great. Once you get the hang of latching the trigger, they are very effective. You don't even need much bait. Just a thin coating of peanut butter does the job.

Tip: Let the kill bar release a little from your hold to set in the arm bar to latch.

Oh, I didn't think about getting my scent on it. Thanks.

Glue a piece of dog or cat food on the petal so it has to chew on it instead of just licking bait off.

Thanks, the packaging and website doesn't give a very detailed image of where the latch is positioned, I usually have used the trap with the plastic tab to latch the hook to.

Serious snapback, amazing product! People like to complain.

Very nice video with good quality and clear instructions on how to set a mouse trap.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I put peanut button on the metal piece not just in the little hole. Mice dead: 0. I have the old type trap with the big yellow pedal. Mice dead: 2

I don't understand about the "not transferring the scent". The mouse will not eat it if there is human scent?

The curl on the pedal has teeth on it. Take a peanut or cashew and gently press it into the teeth so it's lodged in good. Could also tie it down with thread. Then slop peanutbutter on top. Make sure you give it a nice soft-serve swirl on top. Presentation is key here.

[JENDALL]

Don't just slop the bait on top, the mouse will easily steal it, stuff the bait inside that curl, so the mouse has to really get up in there to get the bait. Also, rodent's don't care about your scent, if they did, they wouldn't be in your house. A rodent would actually eat you, if it got the chance, it don't give a shit what you smell like!

If you don't want to lose an eye. Stay away from this trap. They need to reinforce the two nails that is holding down the spring. Almost snap my finger and lose an eye when one of the nail came flying off.

The arms on the Victor traps I just purchased are too long to latch onto the trigger. Has anyone else had this issue or am I missing something?

[forgottensoles]

How do you make the thing that holds the bar back stay??
