Ratings & Reviews for TOMCAT Catch and Release Mouse Traps

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

Even a small mouse can chew through

Set the trap in the evening & checked in the morning. Trap successfully caught a mouse, however the trap is thin plastic and the little guy chewed right through the side / bottom of it and escaped before I checked the trap.

Works with a catch

We had a field mouse tearing up our flower bed and gave this a try. The first 2 days it was a glorified feeder as the vole would get trapped, but would thrash his way into moving it and getting it open. Once I wised up and leaned a paver on it to weigh it down, it worked & he was caught and relocated the following morning

Hamster trap

Worked like a charm. Our new pet hamster escaped in the car and there was nowhere to be found. This mousetrap was able to catch him within a couple of hours.

Meh

Easy setup but didn’t work. A regular snap trap is what finally got the mouse.

did not work

after 10 days, not one mouse has entered the trap.

Did not work at all for me

Set four of them out and the mouse ate the peanut butter from all of them without the trap being triggered.

Doesn't trip.

The mouse in my garage has eaten the bait from this trap 5 times without tripping it. I loaded the end cap up with peanut butter and the mouse completely cleaned it without tripping the trap.

Worked quickly

I bought this as an alternative to a kill trap. Followed directions and used peanut butter inside, and about one hour later, I heard a click and inside was a mouse. I honestly didn't think it would work but it did! Definitely recommend!

Mouse Trap

This device did not catch any mice but it may be that the mice retreated from the cats. I wish I could have rated it based on my comment but "does not apply" is not available...
