Victor Mouse Trap
March 14, 2010
This is probably the worst mouse trap I've ever used. Not hard to set but is not sensitive enough to catch a mouse. Does not work, baited or unbaited. When baited the mouse gets the bait every time and does not trip the trap. A total waste of money in my opinion.

Best Traps Ever
November 11, 2010
First the bad news. Although the traps were received promptly, they came loosely packed in a box and instead of a case of 72 traps, only 71 were received. I also purchased the Provoke Mouse Attractant which was included in the same box. We had been hearing mice and occasionally I would catch one but I knew they were still there. I had been using other brands and models of traps previously and was becoming frustrated when I found my pecan butter bait missing but the traps unsprung. The first day I set out 5 Victor M325 traps using the Provoke and Pecan Butter. The Provoke goes into a little indentation on the top of the trap and I pushed the pecan butter up through the bottom of the “V” cutout. The next morning, I had 4 dead mice. I replaced the 4 traps with new traps and the following morning I had 2 more mice. Then 1 more on 4 subsequent days until I had caught 10 mice altogether. Then no mice for about a week followed by one additional victim. My wife and I had no idea that we had so many mice. These traps are the best mouse catchers that I have come across. I set all the traps for maximum sensitivity and none of the traps have had the bait taken without catching the culprit. I don’t know if the Provoke makes the traps more effective, but it seems worth the small added cost. Victor M325 traps get my unqualified recommendation.

Victor Mouse Trap M325
May 12, 2010
I have used these traps many years, but I was only able to get 2 or 3 at a time from the local hardware store. When I found DoMyOwnPestControl.com and that I could get a box of 72 I bought them, I didn't want to go looking for them again. These traps set very easy and trip with the slightest touch you only bait the trap once and catch many mice. The mice can't get to the bait cup without setting off the trap, NO licked clean traps. The best trap around.

Great!
January 22, 2008
The Victor Mouse Trap M325 Pro is great! We live in a new development, so there are obviously fields nearby that have mice living in them. They come to get warm in the winter and they don't leave...alive! We get them right away as they come in through the garage and there is no sign of an infestation.

Worth buying
November 3, 2011
I thought the old style Victor traps were better than these and bought a case of the old style. Well, I hate to go back on a previous review but these M325 traps have their time and place too. I've had problems recently with "smart" mice licking the peanut butter off of the 040 traps' metal triggers and the yellow 325 traps will nail them when you place the peanut butter in the bait cup and set the trigger so that the rod JUST BARELY will hold the trigger set. Use the most sensitive setting possible. Smart mice (I think) have more of a tendency to rest their paws on the trigger of this trap since it is larger and, even if unbaited, they apparently will step on the trigger if the trap is placed at a right angle to the wall. (trigger facing wall) Bottom line. Use BOTH styles of traps. I'm going to get a case of this new style. And, most of the time, the old style is great too. Hey! Maybe Domyownpestcontrol could offer a mixed case of 50/50 of each type?

Mouse traps
June 26, 2011
The video told me exactly how to use these traps to get the best effect, where to lay them and how to bait them. The price was competitive but the extra knowledge made them a deal.

Go with the Victor 40s. These work great...as a way to feed mice a snack.

Works great
January 12, 2011
These work great for catching mice, simply put a little peanut butter in the rectangular box at the base of the yellow trigger. Make sure you buy enough of them, you want to kill as many mice as possible before they become shy of the traps.

Pro version worst, old style the best
January 31, 2011
I purchased the new style traps with the plastic trip mechanism, these things are basically a mouse feeder. Even on the most sensitive setting, 14 traps 14 licked clean. The old style metal traps are still the best, switched last weekend, had mice after the first day. They are a little harder to set because they are quite sensitive but they WORK!!! The older method is still the best.

Shorted just under a case
November 16, 2011
After reading Willie's post, I also ordered a case (72 traps) of the M325 traps and counted the loose traps and got 71 of 72 traps. It must be human error again.

Best mouse trap made
November 8, 2011
These are the best mouse traps on the market. The price just makes them better still. I use them all the time in my large shop and around my yard for mice and voles without any bait whatsoever. They work very well. I have caught dozens of mice and voles with these without bait.

Tricky to Set
October 20, 2010
The design of these traps is an old (proven) standby. Only problem of the plastic versus the metal variety is that the plastic base/catch can be tricky to set. Use the metal instead.

Great Price and Great Service
September 12, 2011
I ordered six dozen traps for the same money you'd pay for four dozen at the local hardware store. They came super-fast and the follow-up with the Company was great. If you have mice and want to snap-trap 'em, then DoMyOwnPestControl should be your vendor

Snap Traps
September 2, 2011
These old school snap traps seem to only work for the 'dumb' mice...I've baited these traps several times and each time it was licked completely clean and not set off...

Even better than the "old" style traps
September 28, 2012
I am a landlord, so have become an expert in catching mice - unfortunately. I find these traps to be better than the "old" style victors with the metal bait holder as they don't give up the bait without tripping. I came here to buy them by the case as I need so many and am tired of buying them 4 at a time.
I do see some other reviews saying that they are losing the bait on these too, I have never seen that, but will keep some old styles around also in case some of the mice figure these out.
