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.

Great concept

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the fact that this trap is more humane so I can catch the mouse alive then release it some place else I totally get that and love it but I have had it out for about a week and the food gets eaten but it does not catch the mouse which is unhelpful but I will say I do like the concept just wish that it would catch the mouse in my home.

Great idea, but hasn’t worked yet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our house is over 100 years old, so there are lots of little cracks and spaces where mice can come in, and they do, especially when it’s cold outside. It breaks my heart to hurt them, so I was hopeful that this trap would help keep our home pest-free without harming the mice. It is easy to set, but the mice just don’t seem to be attracted to it. I fill the bait station with peanut butter and one time it was emptied, but the mouse did not trigge...

Last not too long, about 3 weeks

They work for a couple of weeks. But then some were easily closing when we would put them down. We originally got 5 and bought 4 more cuz had more mice than expected in different spots in the house. Then another 2 openings broke off. Idk I don’t think they last too long.

Easy, clean and effective

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tomcat Press ’N Set Mouse Trap works great — super easy to set up, no mess, and you don’t have to touch the mouse when disposing of it. The design feels safer and more hygienic than traditional traps, and it catches mice quickly when placed along walls or corners. I also like that it’s pesticide-free and reusable, making it a simple and clean option for indoor use. Highly recommend if you want a fast, no-touch solution for occasional mouse...

Gross but prob works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cool and easy to use trap. Took me two seconds but I figured how it works. I just get creeped out by the fact that it’s alive in there ew. Haha. I’d prob just throw the whole thing away if I catch anything. Thankfully you don’t have to see anything like the open traps. That’s why I’d give it five stars I just wish maybe if it had some stick stuff inside too.

Live traps are the way to go!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mouse trap will come in handy during the cold months when the mice come indoors! Definitely love that it’s a live trap as I hate killing the poor things, they’re so cute and sweet! Definitely happy to have this in our home!

Works Fast and Gets the Job Done!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tomcat Rat Trap is incredibly effective & simple to set up, safe to use, and it works quickly. I caught a large rat within the first night! The design is sturdy, easy to clean, and reusable, which makes it well worth the price. I also appreciate that it’s much safer to handle than traditional snap traps. Highly recommend this trap if you want fast, clean results without the mess or hassle.

It does its job well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very effective mouse trap if you’re looking to do catch and release! I live that you put the bait on a piece that comes off, and there is a tube that faces away from your the the release part, instead of a door that opens towards your face. Great price as well.

Awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of my new go to mouse traps! My favorite part about it is that it's reusable. Usually when you're trying to catch a mouse, you end up finding you're hunting more than one! You'll have money buying these instead of buying disposables, or these as an addition to your disposables!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this from my mom. She lives out in the middle of country. It's very effective in catching the mace but unfortunately we do have an issue with letting them go. That's a me problem, not a product probable

Don't waste your money

Would Not Recommend

I bought three of these with the "attractant" (bait) the company sells. The attractant consistently brought in mice but all three traps failed to trap the mice every time. I stopped keeping track after the 5th fail but it was about a dozen total before I threw them all out. Very expensive waste of time. I would give it no stars but one is the lowest.

Easy and more convenient than traditional mouse tr

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I hate having to use mouse traps, but if I’m going to, these are at least better than the traditional kinds. They keep everything contained, so it’s a lot easier for you to pick up and dispose of after. Need to follow the directions for figuring out how to set it up, but once you do, it’s very easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweigth but durable. I also love that it is safe to have around children and pets. You can reuse as needed! Add peanut butter to lure and you are good to go.

If you like catch and release

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is too flimsy and did not stay set long enough to try to catch a mouse. I would rather use to just have them killed instantly. This is good for catch and release if they don't escape
