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.

Love this option
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this live trap. We tend to get a mouse that comes in out of our fireplace. I hate to kill them when they’re just coming in to get warm so this live trap is a great option.

Easy to assemble and bait!

Lives up to being a humane trap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m an animal lover so a humane trap is the way I wanted to go when dealing with mice in my chicken coop. It traps them without hurting them and the releasing part is very easy! Definitely recommend.

Easy, quick, and painless catch and release trap i
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time I used a live trap in my kitchen where a family of mice have been terrorizing my kids. This trap works so well and is reusable!

Good brand. good products.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to install. I used peanut butter to attract the mice. I haven’t caught anything in 2 days but we have mice out in our garage and we haven’t been spending much time outside with the rain/weather lately. I have used tomcat products before in the past and they all have worked as they were described to. I was gifted this catch and release mouse trap for free from tomcat and influenster in exchange of my honest opinion.

Effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use. Just leave it and go. No mess, no smell, no problems. We live in the country, so mice are going to be an issue. This helps alot for them pesky rodents.

It’s great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a heavy duty durable trap that’s easy to move from place to place for a cheap price. I’m not worried about safety if the item because it works so well.

Live trap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the idea of it remaining live so you can relocate. I haven’t caught one in there yet but it’s to be determined. Looks like it’s easy to release them as well.

Efficient Humane Mouse Trap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This trap has been great for catching mice in our basement now that the weather is getting cooler. It’s a humane alternative to the snap and electric traps that still manages to catch mice. I’d recommend!
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Easy to use.
Would RecommendI liked that the mice were easy to catch and I could release them in a specific garden area. But if the mice are tiny, you need to put the entrance down a bit as sometimes they do not weigh enough to set off the closing of the entry.

Gentle and easy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mouse trap features a delicate balance mechanism that allows for the trap door to shut when a mouse enters the structure. Appears to be gentle on the animal
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Good mouse trap!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tomcat trap is very easy to set up and use and I like how it does not kill the mouse or rat. It was very easy to put peanut butter into the trap and lure a mouse. I already caught one!

Human Catch and Release Trap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband is the guy in our house that is responsible for hunting down and catching a mouse. We always opt for the humane “catch and release” methods. This trap by Tomcat is constructed of all plastic and feels well made and durable. The instructions were easy to follow to properly set up. This type of trap can be used over and over, as needed which makes the is a great value for the money!
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Easy install
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super easy to install! I love reusable traps, it’s more humane than spring traps. And not a money-pit. It’s super nice to have this on hand especially as we approach the cold mo the and critters are trying to find ways inside. I’m impressed by how easy this was to set up.

Thank you for your feedback about Tomcat Live Catch Mouse Trap. For best results make sure they have the trap placed so the entrance is along the wall...
