What Customers Are Saying
Customers are sharply divided on this trap's effectiveness. About half report it fails to catch mice despite proper baiting, with mice entering, consuming bait, and escaping unharmed—many describe it as a waste of money. However, some customers confirm successful catches within days, praising the clean, no-touch design and ease of setup. Reviewers consistently appreciate the simple baiting mechanism and disposable nature, even those experiencing failures. Overall, performance appears highly inconsistent, with success unpredictable and reliability questionable.

Would Not RecommendI had a mouse in my basement and was freaked out so I went and bought five packs of two [yes TEN traps because this mouse was going to be caught] Tomcat Spin Trap and bought the stuff from Tomcat 'that works better than peanut butter' to put in the trap. Well everyday we checked and nothing they were all right where it said to put the and also right where we saw the mouse. Well for two weeks nothing. So my friend went and put the old school easy set mouse traps in my basement and the next day...

Didn't work for me
Would Not RecommendI bought this because I had a small mouse in the house running amuck. The mouse would go inside the trap and eat the bait but the trap never triggered. I ended up buying one of the old school "snap" traps and it worked great. This would probably work better with a bigger mouse.

Did not work.
Would Not RecommendWe bought several of these traps for our home. We had a ten of them. Placed by spots that would be ideal for them to nest. One on either side of dishwasher, one under oven and two on either side. With two by the fridge and the rest in pantry. Placed the attractant gel in all the traps checking every day. Turns out I set up a buffet for them. The cat cought one before any of the traps. We used gloves to handle all traps to prevent them from smelling unappetizing and close together. Turned out a...

Would Not RecommendSet the trap in a cabinet and the next day we checked it. It still was at set and we discovered plastic shavings all over the cabinet, the mouse entered the trap had a snack and chewed the trap and got out of it without the trap springing to caught. Returned back to Lowes. This product does not work.

Not sure
Would RecommendI am not sure if these work. I bought two of these and two of the Tomcat plastic snaps and the mice I had always went for the plastic snaps and didn’t touch these. I don’t know if they can’t smell the peanut butter in them, but I was hoping the mice would choose these so I didn’t have to deal with seeing them. I am going to stick with what works and buy more of the white plastic snaps, much more effective

Hit or miss
Would Not RecommendWe’ve purchased these in the past and they did the trick but this time no luck and ended up with Authenzo traps instead and caught the mouse the first night.

Worked fine
Would RecommendSo, I watched a mouse scurry across the basement carpet while I was watching MNF. Have kid, dig and cat, so picked this one since no poison was invoked. Placed 4 of them in areas I thought this fella might go. Took 24 hours. Actually caught two to my surprise. Clean and simple. Not sure why others had a problem with theirs. Maybe they had big mice cause the one I saw looked like a jr. mouse. Sorry dude! Bad timing to scurry across the floor. Should have waited until I went up stairs and turned t...
Did not work
Would Not RecommendI used a bit of peanut butter. Left the traps out where I seen mouse poop and where the mice were seen running under dishwasher. On the third day I found the mice inside the trap just fine. Maybe they were too small I'm not sure but I covered the hole of the trap and put them in a bucket and drove them away and released in a field.
Doesn't work
Would Not RecommendBought this trap yesterday from Home Depot. The mouse cleaned the peanut butter out of the bait trap. Did not go off. I have bought spin traps before a different design and they worked great. This one I will never buy again. Very disappointed.

Used to work great but not anymore!
Would Not RecommendI have used these religiously for the past 3 years. They used to work great but something had changed! The mice are going in and eating the cheese but not triggering the trap! I am not sure what has changed but this needs the company’s attention. Currently looking for another option!

Ineffective! Did not trigger!
Would Not RecommendI bought two, two packs at a local hardware store. I specifically chose this style because it's a "no handle" style; meaning that after the kill you don't have to handle (or see) the mouse. This was something my wife wanted. The morning after setting the traps, I checked to see if we were successful. There was activity. The mouse pooped on the trap, on the "set/caught" label, and when I checked the bait a dropping fell out from the inside! The mouse had been inside and the trap didn't fire....
