Ratings & Reviews for TOMCAT Live Catch Mouse Traps

Worked second time

First morning I found the trap sprung and no mouse. Peanut butter was untouched and the trap was moved. I guessed that the mouse was investigating the trap and pushed it a little, which caused it to activate. Next time I put a weight on top of it. Worked great. Annoyed but otherwise unharmed mouse was inside.

This Works.

Does the job!

Didn’t work

So to start with I’ll admit that catching mice can be tricky. I’ve had the best luck with snap traps so far but I got this to try something different and have greater odds at catching those annoying mice. I set it up with peanut butter as bait on the inside of the end cap. I found it tripped once with the peanut butter gone so I reset it. Sometime later I checked it again only to find it tripped, but the little bigger chewed his way out. Maybe you should check it more often or maybe you sho...

no bueno

mice get out

It works!

I used wire snap mouse traps. I put cheese as a bait. The cheese disappeared, but the wire snap was not triggered. I gave Tomcat Live Catch Mouse Trap a try. At night, I placed the trap under the kitchen sink and in the morning, a mouse was inside the trap.

Perfect solution for trap & release

Worked every time! easy set up. Happy life to the little ones released!

Worst trap ever

I've had live traps before, but couldn't find one when we had a new mouse getting into our oven. My son set up a camera, and for 3 nights watched the mouse enter and leave the trap over and over again and it didn't shut. This went on for hours, he was having a ball. And we set it up correctly. This is honestly the worst trap.

Would not recommend

I bought this trap as a way to get mice out of my garage after seeing signs that they had entered. I put peanut butter on the trap and the next day I found all of the peanut butter was gone, but the trap had not been triggered. I decided to try again and came back to find the trap triggered. I figured that it had worked this time, but it turns out that the mouse must have triggered it after exiting the trap or before entering. I would not recommend!

Too easy to escape

It caught the mouse the second day it was out, but he escaped the trap before we could take him outside. Now he knows what it is and won't go in. Waste of money!

Worked Perfectly

The mouse went in and got trapped, and we were able to release it unharmed. Now we can reuse the trap if we need to.

Does not catch the strong or smart mice!

I set up a camera to see when I caught them, to my surprise one mouse was able to push the lever open again and escape several times. I had to modify door to latch with magnets to get rid of the sucker.

worked immediately and humanely

It just turned cold outside and I went under my sink to turn off the water supply that goes to the outside spigot, and a little mouse ran by me. Well I have two cats and 2 dogs so that was a surprise.... but I thought I could save him a cat death If I could catch him. I went out the same morning to buy this trap, filled the tip with peanut butter, and put it under the sink. I came back later and the peanut butter was licked off but the trap was not engaged, so I took a thin, smooth plastic cutti...

Great humane trap

Would rather not kill the mouse if I don’t have to and this does the job

The bait door didn't properly fit

Bait door didn't fit well and with the weight of the small amount of peanut butter it kept setting off the trap so it was a waste of money.

Caught 2 mice within 24 hours

I was skeptical about the effectiveness of this product after seeing mixed reviews but I purchased the product (3 of them to be exact) and caught 2 mice within 24 hours of having them set. We used chunky peanut butter as bait and that seemed to lure them in. My only suggestion is that I don’t think they work as well on carpet but we placed them on pieces of cardboard and that solved the problem.

It does catch mice!

Easy to use. Used peanut butter as bait. Released the mouse several miles away at the park.

No good for small mice / needs a heavier critter

The chocolate def got a 2” mouse to get inside, but it scurried right back out (fed) as it wasn’t heavy enough to trigger the see-saw action & close the trap. Will be returning since it’s ineffective for my needs. Plastic parts maybe asily break—Lowes sold me a 2nd trap which already had a broken door hinge.

Was delivered broken

Received item in a new box but product inside had a broken trap door so it never really worked
