  • This is a video of the correct way how to set a rat trap. We heard scratching from rodents in the attic and hopefully this trap baited with peanut butter, one of the best baits for rat traps, will catch the rat.

    My parents told me not to set up a trap, they told me I'd get hurt, I set up the trap by learning by looking at this video, I have now set up 3 traps, thank you.

    I watched this video three hours ago, set my trap using peanut butter and it already caught the rat I was trying to catch. In the past we used other types of snacks and it never worked like this, I wasn't expecting it to work this fast, thank you.

    Great video. I gotta be honest, I saw the band aid on your finger and wondered if you really knew what you were doing???

    Thank you. The instructions on the package were useless. At 53, I've actually never set one of these before. Much appreciated.

    I left the laundry room door open and a rat came in. After several days of setting a rat trap, I would see the bait gone and the trap never went off. I used: peanut butter, a whole almond, cheese and the last day Spicy Nacho Doritos. I felt discouraged that the rat was eating the bait without setting off the trap. If the rat. was using surgical precision to get away with the bait, in the end what help me succeed was my determination every single day. My reasoning was: as good and accurate the rat is getting away with the bait, sooner or later it's bound to make a mistake and that will be the end of it. Sure enough, after six days, the rat made a mistake, it's dead and I can tell my success story with great satisfaction. Lesson: "If you keep persisting, you'll succeed."

    Thanks, your instructions are so much better that the written instructions on the rat trap.

    I had the trap set for a week with no luck. I watched this video, set it like that and one day later rat was dead. Thanks!

    You can catch 100 rats/mice if you use a cantelope or watermelon seed. Just pinch the seed under the metal piece where he put the peanut butter. The rat will pull the seed setting the trap off. No need to re-bait, just set the trap again.

    I've found that bacon grease is like "pork-flavored pudding" to rats, and just a little of this on the trigger plate is all you need. Use too much and they find a way to lick it off without setting off the trap--or they'll set it off and manage to not get hit. The trick is to get them to spend a lot of time screwing around with the trigger plate, i.e., the more time spent on the trap, the better the odds that they'll get whacked.

    Thanks for this. I found it useful as I have never used a "classic" rat trap before.

    one good tip when using these traps is to set the traps on the floor before setting it up. i have had many traps snap up in my face, even placing them very gently on the floor. then use a broom or some kind of long stick to gently move into place, because i have also had these Victor traps snap when moving. They are VERY sensitive!! do not touch the rats with bare hands either use a glove or plastic bag to grab and dispose of! these traps work very well. i have caught these pests within 12 hours of setting. if you dont have peanut butter you can use Nutella or any kind of Cake Frosting.

    Thanks for this step by step video. First thing my eyes went to when I started watching was the bandaid on your finger and of course thought you had unfortunate incident with the trap…and even more so made me think I would have an unfortunate incident with the trap I’m trying to set. Anyhow made me laugh…thanks.

    Nice and quick and to the point. Did anyone else hear him call his hands "paws" around
