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.

Humane trap

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a mouse in our garage but I am completely against glue or kill traps, so I'm happy this is an alternative as well. We'll catch it and then move him elsewhere on our farm.

Catch and release trap

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to set up mouse trap for catch and release. If you are squeamish around d rodents this may not be for you as the mouse will be alive in trap and not too easy to dispose elsewhere with out being very close. The base snaps up in a lever style catch to trap the mouse. Safe to use around kids and pets as there is not harsh snap.

Nice live trap!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that this product is a live trap, it’s compact, and it’s reusable. I did not like that the trap doesn’t come with instructions on how to set up (I hope it’s correct as shown in photo) nor does it come with the attractant gel that’s advertised on the back of the packaging. We set it up in our basement and it easily fit under a shelf. I look forward to seeing the effectiveness, though I hope we don’t catch anything.

Gets the pests while being safe around kids

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed something this fall as mice are starting to head back into the garage, but with kids I didn’t want to use your traditional mouse traps. This product is perfect in that regard! I’m using it around grass/bird seed, and while I’ve only caught one mouse so far (using peanut butter as bait) it’s still early in the season. The product feels solid but mice will chew through anything so I will have to check often to release before they have a ...

Easiest trap to set up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thankfully, I haven’t had much mice in my home lately. This trip was easy to install without too much instructions or steps needed. I like that it is human in the sense to where it won’t kill them.

Good capture trap

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tomcat® Live Catch. Great system, catches mice alive every time. Best when used with dog food. It really works and it works every time, but you have to rotate it so the mice don't remember it's a trap. The trap is reusable so it's basically a great value solution.

Good Mouse Trap, With One Small Issue

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this mousetrap a lot. I find it easy to set up and well constructed in a way that will trap mice in a way that allows for humane release. The one issue I had was with the trap mechanism, it’s kind of difficult to reset if you are not being careful and the plastic tabs could easily break, making the entire device unusable as it would likely allow the mouse to push its way back through if it is not locked. Aside from that it’s a pretty wel...

Reusable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The trap is a hard plastic and easy to let go. All you have to do is clean and reuse again and again. Definitely worth the price to pay. Easy to use and out of the way.
