What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the humane, reusable design and appreciate its safety around children and pets. Many report immediate success catching mice using peanut butter bait, with some capturing multiple rodents within hours. However, a substantial number experience escape issues—mice push the door open after eating, chew through plastic, or the trap fails to fully close. Despite these reliability concerns, most customers value the ethical approach and reusable nature, though some find the latching mechanism too easily overridden.

Easy set up but it is a live trap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We live on a farm so mouse traps are a necessity. These are extremely easy to install and are safe for other animals such as dogs who can smell the peanut butter. Not sure about effectiveness as I haven’t caught anything yet. I’m also not sure about live trapping and releasing because I really don’t want them to come back. These are not terrible but I’m not sure I would use them often.

Unusual design for a trap.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Tomcat Live catch mouse trap free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I have mixed feelings about this because I like the idea of it being a live trap so you can release the mouse out in the woods or something, but the trap itself seems unlikely to work well. It does fall shut quickly, but it also lifts up as it shuts so I feel it would allow the mouse to escape from the trap. And the directions say to use the tom...

Catches mice!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been dealing with a few mice and decided to try this Tomcat Live Catch Mouse Trap. It’s simple to set up and does exactly what it promises—caught a mouse without hurting it. I like that I can reuse it and release the mouse safely outside. It works well, though it only catches one at a time, so you need to check it often. Overall, a humane and effective option for small infestations.

Good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s very safe by the other kid so they have not been able to get stuck in it. It’s very durable. It’s so easy to move around and it’s very effective.

Good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is so easy to set up. Literally take it out of the box and prop up the legs. I love that we can reuse these and they dont hurt the animals. They seem super well made also.

How do you keep it inside?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The instructions were pretty simple and I must admit it is a very clever design. However, my intention is never to keep the rodent after catching it. I also am confused as to how to close the door once a rodent goes inside. It would only work if I am nearby and watch the rodent go inside. Then, I assume I would block the entrance and take the entrapment outside and release the rodent. This feels very uncomfortable for me Who is very squeamish a...

Simple and easy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was impressed with how simple and easy this trap was to set. I’m not very excited to have an alive mouse inside. However it’s very lightweight and easy to move. Yet durable while I know the mouse can’t escape.

Mouse trap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re looking for the best reusable mouse trap then this is for you, so easy to use, works great. Easy to move wherever you need it. Can’t be the price.
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Easy and simple
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to set up and I like that it's a humane way to catch a little nuisance buddy that's running around our garage! So far we have had it set for a week and no mice have been caught, however it's pretty warm out so I think our mice buddies are less likely to hide in the garage right now. I do anticipate this being a well worth it product just based purely on seeing how it easy it to set up and how well it triggers to close in a safe and humane ...

Has not been successful in trapping a mouse
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately, this trap has not caught the mouse that plagues my house. The other trap seemed to work, but this one does not attract mice to go anywhere near it. I like the idea, but I wish it’d actually worked.

It works
Would RecommendI put two of these down and didn't get anything for a few days so I put conventional wood kill traps beside them. Then these started to work. Got 2 while the wooden ones got none. I think that the mice were too small to trip the wooden ones. They were eating the peanut butter but not tripping the wood ones.
Relocates, does not kill!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great! Easy to use in just a few simple steps. Came packaged perfectly. Easy to release a trapped mouse. The best part is that it does not kill them! Simply relocate them!
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Great Trap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tomcat mouse trap is one of the best traps we have ever used. It's so easy to use and you dont have to worry about hurting yourself setting it up compared to the old snap traps!
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Not the most efficient
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately I do think that traps that kill are better. I know PETA won’t like that. This definitely works but it’s not as effective. I probably wouldn’t buy again it is nice that you can reuse it to get your moneys worth

Kills mice!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We use these to catch mice out in the garage! They work so good! The mice can’t move a bit! That’s how sticky the traps are!! Worth every penny!! Can be placed anywhere but I suggest along the side of the walls in a less traveled place in your home or building!
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Worked! Very effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great job attracting and catching the mouse without harming. Nice and small compared to some of the others and made well! I wish I would have used these before I wasted money on others.,
