If you love car races and have the opportunity to check out some in Europe, be sure to include Monaco on your tour. Each racing style calls for different design approaches and relies as much on the student’s imagination and ingenuity as on his or her intelligence and resourcefulness. In some mousetrap car competitions, the intent is to create the fastest racer, while in others it is to see who builds the mousetrap car that goes the farthest. There are even contests that can earn scholarships for college-bound students! Whether it is for a classroom project or an intramural competition, students are challenged with the task of creating a body design around the trap that would best utilize the action of its snapping spring. It may surprise you to learn that our innocuous little snap-trap has been gracing the desks of high schools across the country – and they weren’t left there by the custodial staff! Applying the physics behind our powerful devices’ engineering, our traps are being used as “motors” for miniature race cars. But what you may not be aware of is how our simple design can be used for purposes other than catching rodents. Its original, innovative snap-trap still proves to be a best-seller to this day. For well over a hundred years, Victor® has enjoyed worldwide recognition as being a leader in pest control.
