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.

Not up to par

Would Not Recommend

For the price, I thought the attracting scent was included. Got no mice in these.

Doesn't work

Would Not Recommend

I purchased 5 boxes of these for 10 traps total. I set them out for days, continuing to have mice problems, so I kept buying more. This morning, I looked to see why nothing was caught in any traps. Out of the 10 traps, I was only able to set one of them off. I tapped, prodded, poked, and pushed, and I couldn't make the traps "catch". Ridiculous. Very expensive, AND does not work. Lowe's did accept my return of all 10 traps, with no original box. The cashier was very hesitant, but the manager a...

Easy set mouse trap.

Would Recommend

Ease of use. These unit were very easy to set. We have not caught a mouse in it yet, but it has been set and ready for use. Super clean setup so no touching the inside pieces.

Ok product.

Would Recommend

Caught a mouse and it fell out of the trap when moved. It should come with bait for the price of it.

Works around pets

Trap is easy to use and caught mouse. Have dogs, need to make sure poisoned dead mouse stays in trap.

Mice either too smart or too stupid for this.

Would Not Recommend

Bought and baited as directed with peanut butter. Set at known site of mouse feeding. Mice were either too smart or too dumb. Found feces all around the trap, but trap was unsprung and bait untouched. Not satisfied.

Poor excuse for a trap

Would Not Recommend

Not sure about other Tomcat products, but the Kill and Contain Mouse Trap did not work. It caught a mouse (overnight), but by morning the mouse had chewed through the trap and escaped. Did not Kill or Contain. Do not buy this particular product. It should be metal, not cheap plastic.

Ineffective – Bait Disappears, But No Mice Caught

Would Not Recommend

I’ve had this mousetrap for 10 days now. Every night, I place gel bait from the same brand, only to find it completely gone in the morning—yet the trap remains empty. It seems the mice are enjoying the bait without getting caught. Disappointing performance.

A Complete Waste of Money

Would Not Recommend

Used both traps for days, never caught a single mouse. Bought the old fashioned 2-packs of mouse traps and caught 8 mice in 2 days. There's a reason the old fashioned traps are still around; they work and they're not toxic.

Guess I won't get these again

Would Not Recommend

Bought there years ago and they worked great. Not buying now as redesign must have been bad. All these reviews and videos of the traps not working. I smell a class action incoming. Getting something else.
