Woodstream Victor M325 Mouse Traps — Case of 72 Wooden Snap Traps with Scented Pedal

The Victor M325 Holdfast mouse trap is a traditional wooden snap trap with a scented plastic trip pedal, supplied in a professional case of 72 for high-volume pest control.

The Victor M325 (also sold as M-7) updates the classic wood-and-wire snap design by adding a large, scented plastic trip pedal that attracts mice without the need for separate bait. Built with FSC-certified wood and a durable torsion spring, these traps measure 4" long by 1 3/4" wide and are packed in a bulk case of 72 for commercial or heavy-duty residential use. They’re intended for placement along rodent runways and corners where mice travel.

How does the scented pedal improve trap performance?

The molded plastic pedal on the M325 contains a built-in attractant scent to draw mice toward the trigger area, reducing the need to apply separate bait for initial placement. That said, many users still add sticky baits like peanut butter to increase capture rates. The larger pedal also gives a more reliable contact surface for small rodents.

• Integrated scent on the pedal attracts curious mice.
• Large surface area improves trip activation vs. smaller pedals.
• Compatible with additional sticky baits (peanut butter recommended).
• Marked "S" and "F" on pedal for sensitivity adjustment.

What are the proper steps to set and adjust a Victor M325 snap trap?

Setting the M325 requires care to avoid accidental triggering. Pull the spring-loaded bow back, seat the locking bar into the spring, and engage the tip into the pedal’s box opening; release the bow slowly so the bar holds. Use the pedal’s "S" (sensitive) and "F" (firm) markings to fine-tune trigger responsiveness based on placement and traffic.

• Pull the metal bow fully back and hold with your thumb.
• Place the curved locking bar into the spring center and engage the pedal notch.
• Release the bow slowly so the trap remains set; slide to "S" or "F" for sensitivity.
• Handle with caution and keep away from children and pets when setting.

Where should I place these traps for best results?

Snap traps are most effective when positioned where mice naturally travel: along walls, behind appliances, and near entry points. Place traps perpendicular to walls with the baited or scented pedal facing the wall so rodents encounter the trigger as they run. Using many traps close together increases the chance of catching a population before they become trap-averse.

• Set traps every 2–3 feet along suspected runways.
• Place traps perpendicular to the wall, pedal facing the wall.
• Initially leave some traps unset for a short period so rodents investigate them.
• Use a case of 72 to cover multiple rooms or repeat placements over time.

How should I maintain and dispose of used Victor M325 traps?

Used snap traps should be handled with gloves and disposed of according to local waste guidelines. The wooden base and metal parts are durable; if you prefer, clean and reset reusable traps following hygienic practices. Replace traps that show wear, broken springs, or damaged pedals to ensure consistent performance.

• Wear gloves when removing and handling trapped rodents.
• Dispose of rodents and damaged traps in sealed bags per local rules.
• Reusable traps can be cleaned and reset; inspect springs and pedal integrity.
• Store unused traps in a dry place to protect the wood and spring tension.
