Customer Reviews for Victor Tin Cat Mouse Trap M308

The mouse in my house would enter the opening but then step out as if it knew what would happen if it went in. I had to use the glue pad instead and that actually worked. Safe yourself a ton of money by buying glue pads rather than this junk.

Traps worked for a while until the mice figured out how to get out. Then they just became a feeding station

Haven't caught anything yet. Maybe I put too much peanut butter in there. The entrance ramps seem a little too stiff for a light weight mouse to enter. It is still out in the garage next to the bags of sunflower seeds I use to feed the birds. Not sure what else to do.

The first couple of days we used this we caught mice (4 nights, 2 mice each of the first 3 nights and then 1 mouse the 4th night) but since then the mice are getting in, eating the cracker left there and then leaving .... somehow! I have weighted down the top and covered the air vents with tape so they must be leaving the same way they got in. Do you have any suggestions? PLACEMENT is NOT THE PROBLEM as I did catch mice first few nights in same place.

  Expert response:
Thank you for your comments! Weighing the cover is the first suggestion we would offer and generally the only way mice would be able to escape a live trap. If you have stations with a clear lid, there have been a few instances where particularly persistent mice have been able to chew through the clear lid. The only other possibility we have heard is that if the bait/food were placed just inside the trap door, then perhaps a mouse could start to enter the trap and reach the bait without walking off the ramp, before the one-way door closes completely. Using glue traps inside the trap is always a good idea to help insure that mice cannot escape the traps. Please let us know if we can further assist you!

We set the trap behind our garbage almost 2 weeks ago and we haven't caught anything yet....

  Expert response:
We apologize you haven't received the expected results. There could potentially be a couple of things going on here. 1. Placement is not favorable to capture a mouse. Is the trap placed parallel against a wall or other vertical surface with the holes closest to the wall? 2. Are you positive you have mice? Juvenile rats are often mistaken for mice but they are actually too large to fit inside of these traps. And last, have you used any kind of bait to help entice the mice into the trap? We look forward to hearing back from you soon!

These traps do catch the mice, BUT, they get right back out. Sometimes the minute you pick them up, the mice pull down the door they came in on and escape!!!!! Have had numerous occasions of this, the spring that holds the trap door shut isn't strong enough, and you can see the space between the top metal piece and the trap door, well so do the mice....and out they go...NOT WORTH THE TIME AND MONEY!!!!! And I have bought 3 of these thinking one would be better than the other and work. Not so they are all crap.

I have not caught a single mouse despite the fact that there is evidence that there are move to be caught. This purchase was a waste of money.

  Expert response:
Placement is extremely important with these traps. The traps should be placed in areas with high activity and they should be placed parallel with the wall. The openings should be nearest the wall so that mice treat the openings as a tunnel. While bait is not usually necessary with correct placement, trap shy rodents can be enticed to go inside if you put a little dab of food inside the trap. Please let us know if these tips were helpful! We want to make sure each customer is satisfied with every purchase from our store. We look forward to hearing back from you soon!

It didn't work for me, we ended up having to kill the mouse in order to get it out of the house.

This product does not come with directions! I want to get rid of mice. I have no idea how to use this product and I can not find out to use this product on the website. It seems to me I spent money on a worthless product.

  Expert response:
Thank you for your comments. We apologize for any confusion. The Victor Tin Cat Mouse Trap is ready to use as it comes. The trap has 2 one-way doors which allow a mouse to enter the trap, but then not to exit. You simply make sure the lid is securely closed, then place the trap along pathways wear mice are likely to be travelling, such as in the center of a wall, so that the openings into the trap are closest to the wall. You can place a food attractant such as nut butter, cooked bacon, or chocolate inside the trap as an attractant. You can also use a Victor Tin Cat Glue Board inside the trap: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/victor-tin-cat-glue-boards-m309-case-72-boards-p-463.html Please feel to contact us anytime that you may have questions regarding a product or treatment.
