About this app

The Victor Pest app brings rodent control to the 21st century by a brand that has been the leader for over 120 years. Rodent control is now easier than ever with catch notifications delivered straight to your mobile device. Connecting traps is simple and straight forward. Features include the ability to connect an unlimited number of traps, custom naming for each trap, notifications for kills, low battery life, and connectivity issues.

Ratings and reviews

Like other people are reporting the app constantly alerts to 24 hours offline. So if you have 7 traps, like me, that's 7 notifications a day that the trap is offline, when it's not. Checking in the app shows it's connecting every day. It looks like this started from a new update a month or so ago. It also appears it just needs an extra few minutes. The devices check in every 24-25 hours so after the notification it checks in within the hour. Fix it, I'll fix the star rating.

I purchased 2 traps over 2 years ago. The traps work flawlessly, 14 verified kills with #1, And 21 verified kills with the other (I live in the country surrounded by fields). The app is complete garbage. Notifications are spotty, initial connections after Wifi router changes are problematic as stated in other reviews. It's very exciting when the app works and notifies me to empty my trap! In the cases that it doesn't, the work around is to go by the smell of rotting mouse corpse.

Had this trap working for a while, but my wifi name and password changed and so I had to go through the setup fresh. Now, it gets as far as successfully connecting to the trap's wifi, and then hangs at 'something went wrong'. There's no meaningful troubleshooting info out there, so after two hours or trying random things, I'm done with it. Avoid at all costs, I got less than 6 months use out of it.
