What Customers Are Saying

The Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap has had a mixed performance. The older version was praised as effective, easy to use, and providing a clean way to deal with mice. However, the newer redesigned version seems to have significant issues - many customers report that the mice are able to enter the trap, eat the bait, and exit without getting caught. The trigger mechanism also appears to be problematic, with many users unable to get the trap to set properly or trigger when a mouse enters. Several customers expressed disappointment with the new design, stating that the old version worked much better.

Wham! Bam! Gone!

Would Recommend

Found droppings and realized our cat failed to do his job (freeloader). Bought these at Lowes yesterday, used peanut butter and the next morning, our uninvited guest had received a one way trip out of our house! No mess, no fuss and the best thing was I didn't have to see a thing (my husband did verify there were remains and the trap didn't just fail). Kind of shocked about the low reviews on this product! We would highly recommend!

50/50

I purchased 10 traps and caught mice in all of them, however, there still seemed to be mice in my household, so I purchased 4 more in hopes of eliminating my mouse problem. 1 trap out of the 4 had caught a mouse, but there was clearly activity around the other 3 traps. I took a look at the remaining 3 traps to ensure they were working properly and noticed they weren't triggering! I tried setting it off and resetting it, but the trigger mechanism would not go off! I am very disappointed because I...

Trigger never engaged

The trigger didn’t engage on either trap and the mice ate through one.

Great Mousetrap!

Would Recommend

Easy to set up and dispose of dead mouse. It's a little pricey, but worth it. It may not read correctly. Double check for a dead mouse, even if it says something else.

Not sure about these traps

Would Not Recommend

So far...I have not caught anything with these traps. I used peanut butter, soft dog food...I ended up going and purchasing regular snap traps...and finally got rid of my mouse problem...all 8 of them.

Not effective at all

I bought four of these traps and none of them caught a mouse. I felt like I wasted my money. This does not work and would like a refund.

Mouse went in twice, didn't work

A mouse went in twice, stayed inside for a few seconds, and left without anything being triggered. I have cameras to catch mouse activity, and the video is very clear. I also used the attractant gel. Would not recommend.

Works Like a Charm

Would Recommend

Purchased this product two days ago after discovering a mouse had entered my basement. I set it up with peanut butter and placed in on the basement foundation ledge that afternoon. The next morning, the mouse was captured. Set up the second trap yesterday and found Mr. Mouse had a buddy who was captured as well. Very pleased with this product and would recommend it.

New design does NOT work like the old ones

Would Not Recommend

We've used these exclusively in our 164 year old house until recently. The new ones simply do NOT spring. So disappointed as these were our old reliable go tos to get those little critters.

Kitchen cabinet success!

Would Recommend

I have been using the catch and contain traps for a few years with much success inside my baking cabinet along with adding good storage containers. Most recently, I have been placing one atop a storage container each night and caught mice for six nights in a row. Each time, I find less droppings remaining, so I know I'm making good progress. I switched to peanut butter with sesame seeds embedded in it a few years ago when attractant gel didn't seem to work well. The first night, it looked like...

Mice love it!! As in the mice ate the trap. Crewed the bait door open and even the sides of it. Total waste of money

Won't set

Would Not Recommend

I'm a pro mouse trapper living in the woods. I bought a 2 pack of these traps to try them out as an upgrade to the old fashioned wooden snap traps. When I try to set them they won't set. Total waste of money.
