I have NEVER caught a mouse using these traps. I use as instructed, battery fresh and NOTHING. I've had them for years now. I also use Snap-E mouse traps and they are FANTASTIC. I bought both the Victor and the Snap-E here on Amazon along with a host of other mouse traps. The ONLY good trap in my opinion and experience, is the Snap-E. I don't even bother using bait. I put one on each side of my stove, one on each side of my kitchen sink, both sides of my freezer and two in my kitchen closet. ALL closer to the wall No, I am not infested but I live in an OLD house with lots of crooks and crannies and when the weather gets cooler ,the mice come a runnin' in. .No longer use any bait and the Snap-E catches then every time. .I have used this Victor contraption in the exact same spot with all kinds of bait from peanut butter, to cheese to everything in the book. Nothing. .Don't waste your money. Go with the Snap-E. No, I do NOT work for Snap-E in any way, shape or form but I am FINALLY happy with a trap that not only does the job but is a CINCH to set.
