Victor M070B Easy and Safe-Set Power Kill Mouse Trap Quick and Clean Rodent Disposal - 2 Reusable Mouse Traps

These traps are very easy to load. Great product!

This trap really is pet safe. I accidentally set it while exploring its features and tried dropping it, tapping it, and wedging a stick into the slot - nothing. I thought, must be broken - then I went to untwist the bait cup from the bottom and SNAP! It went off like a rocket. Excellent. There's really no way to trigger it unless you turn the bait cup panel or if you're tiny like a mouse and go into the little bait cup to feed.

Useless junk. These have caught zero mice in almost a year. In the same time frame good ole snap traps have caught over a dozen. But they HAVE caught my child’s fingers, these are not kid or pet safe.

Highly recommend. These work. Easy to setup and reuse. We bought both mouse size and rat sized traps. They are the easiest to use and they work. Reusable too.

I didn't anticipate the brain matter

We live in the country, and have a pretty steady influx of mice hoping to make our home THEIR home. For years, we've used the old Victor wooden traps, which work pretty well, but which can be a little twitchy to work with. And once you catch a mouse, one of his siblings will stand on his head and eat the peanut butter off the trap. We also chose to throw about half of them away after one catch, because when the steel bar comes down, and can make a bit of a mess. The new traps are very easy to set, with no worry about the steel bar snapping on your fingers. Once a ouse is caught, getting rid of it is easy - just squeeze the end of the trap together, and shake it out. This also resets the trap, and you don't have to refill the bait station, because once the lid closes, no other mice can get access to it. And we haven't had to get rid of a single trap yet - the plastic lid closes tightly on the critters, but doesn't dig into them like the wood traps. This is our go-to trap from now on.

I’ve ordered two more and will update this review as appropriate. So far I’ve had a 50/50 result with the trigger mechanism: two mice died quickly, but two others came for a snack, then left (I witnessed it). Their heads were fully in the traps and they ate all the bait - the traps did not trigger. Hoping I just got a bad batch…

For the price I wasn't expecting much from this trap, especially given that I tested it on my finger to make sure that if one of my cats managed to find it and take an interest in it it wouldn't break their paw, and I could even let it snap shut on my finger full-force and, although the feeling wasn't great, I figured it was more likely to just get the mouse stuck than to actually kill it. And although the way it gets activated does require someone/thing to mess with a piece of plastic that covers the food in the trap, it doesn't take much to set that off, so I was afraid that one of my cats *might* decide to smack it and the thing would still go off...so the spot I put it in wasn't even super accessible to a mouse. But hey, might as well give it a try, right?Aaaaaand, yep; the thing worked flawlessly. We knew we had at least one mouse because I had set up a webcam to watch my cat's dry food at night, which had been disappearing, and despite doing the trick of putting peppermint oil in places where you think the mouse might be, it only deterred it for a night or two before the thing would be back. So last night I set up the trap, and the webcam didn't catch anything (other than the cats) after I went to bed...but sure enough, there was a dead mouse in the thing come morning. So apparently the trap, despite not being in the best spot, was still more inviting than having to make a run to the cat kibbles.That said, a solid 5/5 stars for it working as expected, being as "pet safe" (and finger and kid safe?) as I can imagine a spring-loaded mouse trap to be, and being super cheap to boot (and you get two traps, even! Setting the other up tonight just in case).
