Ratings & Reviews for Victor Metal Pedal Rat Trap Rat Traps

Trap

Awesome

Plastic pieces do not work well

The plastic parts of these traps do not work well, at all. Too slippery, so the traps are snapping at the slightest movement. Go back to the metal psrts...MUCH more effective.

Hard to engage the trap

Compare to the older model, the newer one is much harder to engage. I perfer the older model.

poor quality control

As other reviewers have noted, the arm bar could not be set under the plastic pedal. On mine, the arm bar end that is supposed to catch on the plastic pedal was rounded and too smooth to catch on the plastic pedal, so I could not set the trap. I tried to bend the end a bit, so that pedal would catch but to no avail. While fidgeting with the arm bar, the bar ultimately broke and so it's now in the trash. I know these are low-cost, but that still shouldn't mean useless.

Cheap Plastic

“Terrible product—cheap plastic, awful setup, couldn’t hold either the firm or sensitive settings, and the springs seemed defective; returning it tomorrow.”

Not as described

I did not receive the "metal pedal" trap, but the wide, plastic ones.

Check what you purchased is what you receive

What was delivered is not the product I ordered (shown in pic, but it was a different design and brand).

unless your rats are huge they are for squirrels

too large and snaps too easily

not as listed in the website

I ordered traps with metal bait pedals because that is what I wanted and it was listed as such on the app. When I picked up the order I was given plastic bait pedals instead. Apparently the website is wrong and the store doesn't even have the metal ones. very disappointing!

Do not buy if you want the metal pedal.

Product is not what is listed. The pedal is the new style, made of plastic.

Latch would not hold on 2 of the traps.

The product kept tripping would not hold the plastic for the rat to trip. .

Bye Bye Remy!

Yes this trap now has a plastic bait holder, but I think this may be an improvement over the small metal one as it provides a larger surface for peanut butter. Once Remy was released into a garbage, I simply reset the trap as the bait did not need refreshing. (I subtracted one star due to website image not matching item in store.)

Successful in getting rid of rats/ mice but...

Did not experience issues others have had- not tripping, hard to set. Traps set fine and successfully got rats and mice. Unfortunately, the traps came apart after being left out for a couple weeks. The staples holding the spring assembly to the wood plate pulled out (most likely when tripped) and we were left with the trap in pieces (and a dead mouse). They are cheap enough, but I was hoping they'd last longer.
