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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a super simple live trap, a step above a DIY option. I’ve used a couple different live traps, and this one is a very simple iteration. No fuss, pull the cap off the end and lay bait, then prop up the entrance to the tunnel. Straight forward and does the job, but I wish it latched more carefully for transport. I prefer to take the mouse a little further out than to just release in the yard, I appreciate a sturdy latch for the car ride. A...

Tomcat trap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the harm free option when catching some pesky pests. Trap seems to work very well. Just obviously be prepared to handle what to do with the mouse once you have a trap in place. Easy to use and easy concept to understand. Not bulky or in the way. Easy to have it be discreet.

Non kill and saving money!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Non kill mouse traps are great! We have some woods behind our house so they occasionally work there way in the house. I like the be able to find the issue block it up and release them away from the house. It’s reusable which helps the ability to save money!

Great job
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The trap feels sturdy and well-made, and since it’s reusable, it’s a great long-term solution. It also doesn’t make any loud snapping sound, which makes it less stressful for both me and the pets. Cleaning and resetting it is quick, and the design keeps everything contained so there’s no mess. Overall, I’m really happy with how effective and easy this trap is. It’s a reliable, humane alternative to traditional mouse traps.

Humanely traps the mouse.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this humane mouse trap!! It looks to be made of a resin type plastic, and works sort of like a teeter totter. When the mouse goes inside, the trap closes/traps him in safely to be released. I do however, wish that the trap included the “food” that you put inside to lure the mouse inside.

Ease of use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tomcat live catch mouse traps are generally easy to use, humane, and effective. I did have some inconsistent results with the trap. With false triggers and mice getting loose. Overall a good trap that is humane, allowing catch and release.

Super user friendly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tomcat Live Catch Mouse Trap is incredibly user-friendly and easy to set up. I really appreciate how straightforward the design is — everything is self-explanatory, and it works exactly the way it should. Cleaning the trap was a breeze, and releasing the rodent wasn’t difficult at all. The instructions recommend releasing it at least 3–5 miles away to prevent them from coming back. I highly recommend using the attractant gel with this trap...

Easy to use, more humane option!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We set this in the garage, and as soon as the weather turned, we caught one! Love that this is reusable, but there is no way I’m emptying it, my husband is in charge of that operation. He brought the trap to an open field (hopefully far enough away that the critter doesn’t find his way back!!) and let him go. The legs support the trap well and it’s easy to trigger, but we never had it trigger without a mouse inside. Will keep this up all winter...

Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have these set up in our yard in strategic areas where the rats used to traverse, and I have to say that I haven’t seen them for some time now since the traps are up. I found a couple of deceased ones nearby but the others have since disappeared.

Broken out of the box but a cool mechanism trap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product came out of the box broken. The tiny plastic knobs are not strong enough apparently. I was not able to figure out how it works until looking at the box and thinking about how the set up looks. The trigger process is like a teeter totter effect which will allow the trap door to swing shut when the weight of the mouse is in the back of the trap. Thats a neat process. There are small airholes to allow the mouse to still breathe. The t...
