I tried sticky traps first...caught the mice within an hour but, the mice wriggled off and was scratching the entire time before it was free. So then I tried the Decon bait traps. They've been sitting out for weeks and no mice caught. So what do you do when the mice are too smart for other traps? You use these Victor traps that are tried and true for decades. I don't feel one but guilty, because I tried other traps and they didn't work. Thanks for the great instruction video. It helped a lot!👍

Great video. I would add that I've had many new Victor traps that get picked clean by the mice without tripping. On those traps, it seems that the copper trigger is bent too far over, requiring more than a mouse to release it. So, I always test the trip setup beforehand by setting up the trap without "springing" the trap. I use finger pressure to pull up on the latch rod, simulating the force of the spring-loaded piece. Then I push down on the bait trigger to see how much pressure it takes. If too much, then I use a pair of pliers to make the trigger more upright and more sensitive. About half of them need adjustment.

You don’t need to spend a penny more on any other type of trap. These work very well. Came home from a month out of town to find a mouse had made its home in my absence. $2.75 and 3 hours later it was evicted without notice.

The easiest way to set one of those snap traps is to use a pair of pliers to hold the kill bar down so that your fingers are no where near it in case it accidentally activates while you're trying to set it.

Very helpful - thanks. Instructions on the package are useless. On the plus side, these are the good old-school mouse traps and they work. Many manufacturers have tried to “build a better mousetrap“ and they earn a lot of money on complex products and toxic poisons that are bad for our ground water etc. But this is your grandma’s mouse trap from generations ago and it works.

Ok, I bought some traps awhile back and I felt like a fool. Couldn't figure it out. One of those things I thought guys would always take care for me. Well lo and behold here I am thinking how hard can it be? Well as it turned out I gave up and figured I would throw them in the Trash. I didn't and today scrolling through your videos just discovered your video showing us women how it is supposed to be done. Thank you ever so much. Maybe I should give you a whole list of repairs and fixes needed around my home and you can make a short video showing some of us single woman how to do some repairs. No significant handyman around or to call on for help. PS my engineer father lives about a 1000 miles away. Not like I can call him for help and besides at his age he just is not capable of doing it anymore. Love him to death. If anyone could have fixed it the 'RIGHT WAY', dad did. Maybe there are channels in which they start at the very basics, of tool identification and basic use. I have a power drill and could probably figure it out if I put my mind to it. Just would be nice to know I can go somewhere to get the basic and correct information. I have tile/shower replacement mold, tub scratches, holes in the wall. Entrance door frame, simple lock/deadbolt replacement. When chit is not square and how to check for all those things before diving in a project and then ending up with a bigger problem. A whole host of small repairs, fixes etc. Guess I will pull out that power drill to day and try to figure out what I need. If anyone can recommended a channel sure would appreciate it. BTW Mr. Fixer I have enjoyed the videos, I have seen. Made me think about what I really don't know before starting any project of my own.

Had to for the 3rd time in my life buy these same traps AGAIN. (3rd location) always need a refresher on how to set them up, just for my own comfort. My my 2nd time back in 2020 in my apartment was 11 in 48 hours. Hopefully I don’t catch a family again in my house that I am living in! Started seeing dead mice near my dogs bowls outside, even caught him tossing up a dead one the other day. Last night? I heard one in the house. Today as I laid one of 4 traps, I seen one scurry back behind my furnace. Figured I leave it off just incase he went exploring. Don’t want to have to pay for a full system clean out running into winter! Great video, thanks!

Use peanut butter for bate, then put the mouse trap in an empty, UNWASHED, peanut butter jar. Place trap againsta wall, not in the middle of the floor. Don’t leave dead mice in the trap or where other mice will eat them. Use several, 3-6, traps at once to get all the mice at once.

When I place the trap in the exact spot I want it, I hold down the snap bar all the way back using the very edge of a shoe heel while carefully setting the trigger with my hand. Once that is done I *slowly* let the shoe heel off the snap bar. Works perfectly and safely for me every time.

I'm know as the Great White Hunter in my family. Our AC went out at home one summer so we moved in with my uncle and cousins at my grandparents farm house until it was fixed and there was a definite mouse problem. I think they're adorable, my mom not so much. It was the middle of the night and my mom comes busting in freaking and begging me to come set a trap. I'm half asleep and walk out and there is my uncle, my cousin, and my dad (all grown ass men) sitting there and me a teenage girl. I looked at her like "really?! You got me up to do something they could have done?!" So, I set the trap and went back to bed. 5 minutes later she busts in again screaming "Ypu caught it! You caught the mouse!" To which my reply was "super...can I sleep now?" 🤣 The whole rest of the summer it was my job and I still hold the record for fastest mouse catch many times over. But it's been a while and I hadn't seen that catch hook thing before so i had to youtube it. Now I have a mouse in my bathroom eating stored backpacking food (the tub and shower don't work and it's used for storage which is why there's food in the bathroom. 😅) I'm back living with my parents as a caretaker and heard the familiar sounds of scitter scatter and walked in on one and we stared each other down before it ran off. Not ONCE has there EVER been a mouse in this house and now there is and it's my fault and I am a dead woman walking if I don't fix it fast! My mother will end me! 😅 So I made an extra special top secret trip to home depot today. But not before calling my uncle at 2am last night to let him know of my impending death to which he laughed and laughed...😑😅 He grew up with her and he knows she grows extra arms and legs, screams, then beats the hell out of you to get away.🤣🤣🤣

Nice, I must have set them to high because the peanut butter is gone and the traps are not sprung. My daughter convinced me to get a live trap. They have a hair trigger and closes the end sealing the mouse inside. Issue is everything sets it off, well in short I just cleaned out a very dead mouse of it. I grow up with the spring type and will keep using them. Thank you for the video.

Haha, Yeah I thought it was supposed to be in the round hole so I bent it up to reach. Probably would have been way too hard to trigger, but found this video 2 minutes later and redid. Now to wait and see... I tried the humane trap (catch and release), but the stupid mouse only looked at it. It was far more interested in the cameras I put up over the drop down ceiling where he is roaming around.

Once set up you can move it if you always remember to hold it by the big red V end, then you'll be OK. I use them in the garden for voles, using oatmeal mixed in peanut butter for bate. I use no-kill traps for house mice, but voles have higher likelihood of carrying plague.

I have a mouse/mice that come into mine and my mum and sister's rooms, we ordered some traps so I hope these work, I can't sleep because I will hear them gnawing on things and I am afraid of them destroying my stuff or dying somewhere out of reach and rotting away

With the recent heat wave here in the South I'm finding more mice getting into the house where it is cool. My cat has got a few but I know that this trap won't play with the mouse before it dies (yuk) I did have some trouble setting it up I couldn't get the bar to latch on the metal part. I finally did but next morning it was still sitting there empty I had trouble setting it off. Very frustrating.

Peanut butter is one of the best baits; just use enough to coat the inside of the trigger (where it rolls over).

Peanut butter. A piece of cheese can be snatched without catching the mouse.

I would put cheese because mice always go for cheese. It's not fiction many say because I've caught lots of mice with cheese.

This was so helpful but now I’m crying looking at my dead mouse buddy, I tried so hard to just relocate him but man he just wouldn’t leave, I’m a 6”4 215 pound man btw lol everyone thinks I’m a wuss cause of my empathy towards little critters or animals of all sizes and types, I just love our furry friends and hate seeing them dead or in pain, held my baby girl (a pittie) all night lol

Hello. Thank you, Mr. Fixer, for making this video. My Dad always took care of this stuff while I was growing up, so I never had to learn how to set traps. Now I know how, thanks to you! Thanks again!✌️😎🐀

I seem to be doing this as demonstrated with new Victor traps but for some reason the small amount of peanut butter I put on is gone in the morning and the trap is still set.🤔 This is going to be my 3rd try tonight.
