Ratings & Reviews for TOMCAT Snap Trap Mouse Traps

Works great! Surprised at the negative reviews.

I am surprised with the negative reviews. Because I have had 3 of these traps. Each one has successfully caught the rats/mice that were in my garage. One of the traps caught two rodents. I highly recommend this trap.

Use the right size

Many complaints about it either not snapping or not killing when it snapped. We have used these for years and they work great when you learn how to use them. For mice, use the small trap. For large mice and rats use the larger trap (we nicknamed “Big Bertha”). You have to only put the bait in the small well in the bottom. Pack it tightly so that they have to work for it. If they are snapping the trap and not catching the mouse, you are probably not placing the bait correctly or you’re using a t...

Now it's TOO sensitive

They look like they've gone too far in other direction now--it's too sensitive. Tiny amt of peanut butter and trap won't stay open. Much better Tomcat product are glue traps or the white jagged edge snap traps

A Poor Trap

I am feeding the mice because they can raid the trap without setting it off.

Don’t waste your time and money

The mice get the bait without getting trapped . So you end up feeding mice.

Body count = 2 dead and 2 got away.

This is an easy to use trap that, using peanut butter, lured 2 mice to their demise. A couple of mice set it off without being killed, though, even though the traps were baited and positioned as directed. That's about the same result as traditional wood/wire traps.

This trap works

I had my doubts frankly if this would work. It does! I have caught 3 mice so far in a short time.

Not Humane

As cute as mice are... But when they get into our homes we are forced to find a trap system that will humanly eliminate them with no suffering. We bought a few of these traps. On both occasions that a mouse was caught in these traps we found them alive, suffering and trying to get free. Being an animal lover we had no choice but to take them outside and set them free. Even the old style snap traps did what they were supposed to do. I would not recommend these traps to anyone.
