What Customers Are Saying

The product is a simple and effective mouse trap that has received mixed reviews. Many customers report it successfully catching multiple mice, but some experienced issues with the spring not being strong enough to kill the mice or the trap being difficult to set. The trap's effectiveness may vary depending on the user's experience and the bait used, with strong-smelling options like peanut butter recommended to attract mice.

Not as well built as older ones

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These wooden traps are not as well made as ones I have from 20 years ago.

didn't function as advertised

Would Not Recommend

the "TRAP" functioned more as a serving tray to hold the peanut butter. I presently have (4) traps set on a table top, and the critter has stripped the pb off of (2) of the serving trays.

yoh can't build a better mouse trap

Would Not Recommend

The plastic trigger mechanism is cheap and if you can get them to set they only work once, should have left the metal mechanism.

good old fashion reliable trap

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good old fashioned reliable mouse trap. When I used this trap I caught a mouse within hours. It can be a little tricky to set.

On the first attempt it didnt trap the mouse when it fired, when i tried to reset the trap one of the little staples that holds the spring popped out and was gone. Junk.

If you have problems with mice, this is your product!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you have more than just the "occasional" mouse problem (or even if you don't) than this product is for you! It is easy to use and does the job quickly and effectively. I have also tried the one time use products by Tomcat, but these multi use traps work the best for out in my shed or garage where there tend to be more of a problem.

Good traditional style

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worked just fine. Big flat surface to place bait. Depending on cost might be a good choice

This is the old school method for mice control

Easy to load.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This trap is easy to load with its large food/lure tray. It is also very easy to set without having to worry if it is set and accidentally snap/trip. It worked faster and easier than my older models. I can't explain how or why they work better other than it does.

Upon inspection, it appears to be a good product. Seems sturdy. Have not tried them yet as I just received them in the mail.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just received the mouse catcher. On visual inspection, I think they are pretty nice and will do the job. I have only had a couple days and I have not set them out. I would venture to say that they WILL do the job

Old School Trap

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This trap is what I call "Old School". I remember having traps like this when I was a kid. This trap works really good. I use it out in my garage and was able to catch a mouse. I put them in my garage so that I don't get them in my house . Works good!

Good quality trap!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good old fashioned traps work the best as far as I am concerned. Caught the mouse the first night I set it up. Inexpensive enough to just throw the whole thing away.

Powerful

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great snap to it - holds tight - just like the "good old days".

Old fashion trap that is still effective

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have put a dab of peanut butter on the trap and have it set in my basement. A little too soon for mice since the temperature is still in the 80s but I know that the trap will work if mice attempt to live in my basement this fall and winter.

Mixed Results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this trap over the past weekend with mixed results. I was able to kill one mouse but had 4 or 5 misses. I can only assume that the trap needs to be a bit larger to force more of the mouse's body onto the catch zone. I will try again this weekend.
