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.

Don't waste your money
Would Not RecommendI have 4 spin traps set for over a week, I even keep putting new peanut butter inside but I haven't caught a single mouse. So I decided to put a stick inside to see if the trap really worked and it does not. I wiggled that stick around inside and the trap did not snap. There are videos on YouTube where you can see the mice running in the trap, taking the bait and coming out alive and well. What garbage!

Not catching anything
Would Not RecommendI've had 2 spin traps set and ready for 6 weeks...I've changed the bait food over and over. Last night I saw the mouse within 2 inches of one of the traps and nothing. I'm going to change the bait food again today. I don't know how the mouse can keep walking past 2 traps and never get caught .

Easy but no mouse
Would RecommendThis is easy to use but has not gotten a mouse. It could be another trap got it because I’ve not seen it.
Handy and Safe
Would RecommendThis trap is perfect. Easy to set and and dispose of.You don't have to come in contact with the mouse or worry about catching your fingers,like those other traps. Being a senior citizen, I like the ease of this trap. Thank you.
Great Touchless Trap
Would RecommendHave been using these for about 3 years. When it gets cooler outside field mice find their way in. These traps in specific places capture the little creatures.
Do not work
Would Not RecommendI bought 2 of them and the bait comes up missing and no mice in trap. What a joke. Yes they got my money for nothing

Problem resolved! Quickly!
Would RecommendLike not having to deal with removing dead mice from trap. Bought and placed where activity was noticed using peanut butter for bait. Caught/killed one the first night and caught/killed a second the next night! I only wish I bought more because now I’m out and have to go back to get more! Excellent product that works as advertised! I highly recommend this product!
Mouse caught first night!
Would RecommendI put this out on my stove where the mouse had been with no bait wondering if it would just explore it, well that did not work. First night that I placed PB in the small twist off opening I woke up to the trap being shut.
Tomcat spin trap mouse trap
Would RecommendGreat mouse trap to catch the rodent and not allow the poison get to my cat.
Doesn't work
Would Not RecommendI followed the directions verbatim. I even used the tomcat bait you have to buy extra for the trap to work. There are mice droppings right next to the entrance to the trap. Almost like they left it there to taunt me. I would not recommend this. Just use the cheese wiz and a cheap traditional trap. Works every time.
Bait is gone, mouse is not
Would Not RecommendI gave up on this. I checked everyday for a week, no mouse. I then checked the bait, I used peanut butter. The bait was gone but the trap was still open. Wouldn't buy this again. I got the mouse with a glue trap.
Did not work at all
Last year my wife and I started getting mice. I bought DCon spin traps and caught a few mice quickly. This year I had mice again so I bought a few of these traps. traps. So far I have not caught a single mouse and I have actually found mouse poop inside these traps. I did go out and purchase two of the vertical traps from Tom Cat and caught one mouse the next day but still nothing in these spin traps
