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.

Tried couple tomcat product and it is well in catching mice but all of its wall eat by mice and escaped.. Don’t waste money on buying tomcat plastic trap. Photo attached..
The spring does not regularly release when a mouse is in the trap.
Doesn’t work where others did
Would Not RecommendI set this trap up first night by itself, baited with a combo of peanut butter and the Tomcat mouse attractant. Next day, no mouse but found poop inside trap and some of the bait was taken. Nect night, I set it up in the same spot and placed a DCon snap trap near it along same wall. Same result. Bait taken from this trap, no mouse, but the DCon trap caught one. Did the same setup two more nights with same results. Spin trap caught nothing, while other snap traps (DCon and Jawz) both caught mice....
Wanted it to work
Would Not RecommendBought 6 of these and set them up 3 nights in a row. I even moved them around on the 3rd night but still couldn’t catch any mice. On the 4 th night I moved them again and added a 7th trap (a different brand (DCon) snap trap - also with a mostly enclosed no see option) and the next day it was the snap trap that caught the mouse. I wish I hadnt been tempted to go for the too good to be true option. I’ll be buying more of the successful trap.
Caught the mice in 2 days!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used the Spin Trap under our sink in kitchen. Caught our first mouse that night. Reset it and caught the second one the next day. So far we haven't had any more problems with mice. Easy to set up and use. You can dispose the mouse and reuse if you choose.

Worked within hours of setting it up!
Would RecommendNoticed the noise of a mouse running around in the ceiling of my basement a few days ago, never had mice in my house before. Put mice poison up the access hole in the ceiling first. For two nights heard the little bugger eating the poison. Then my dad asked me, what if it dies in your ceiling? So, he suggested a glue trap, I went to the store and bought a dual pack of Tomcat spin traps because I didn't want to see the mouse after it was dead. Set one up last night about 8PM with peanut butter in...

Over Priced Junk
Would Not RecommendI bought 2 of these traps. Neither caught a mouse. One was almost caught but it ate/nibbled it’s way out right through the plastic. I couldn’t believe it! Attached photo shows damage to trap (aka get-away route). You can see all the tiny bits of plastic that was inside.
Doesn’t work
Would Not RecommendI have used two different products from this brand and they are both terrible. First I tried these spin traps and I bought TWO of the them. I set the first one and watched the mouse go in and out of it. I thought maybe this one was just malfunctioned , so I set the second one. Next morning I still see mouse droppings and no mice, I left to several more days and no mouse caught but plenty of evidence. The mice walk right in and out of these , they do not work. I then tried the kill and contain tr...

Did not work!
Would Not RecommendI have 6 of these deployed for over a month week and bot a single mouse! There are plenty to catch and ive seen one go in and come back out with the bait and its life! Buy the cheap snap traps and get a pair of rubber gloves. You’ll save money, time and get your mice.

TOMCAT Spin Trap Mouse Trap
Would Not RecommendAbsolute garbage....bought two packs of two spin trap. It was easy to setup and that was all that seems to be easy. I had the traps out for two days and nothing. I actually saw the mouse run right pass it so i know that it was around the trap. Don't spend a dime on this junk and just go buy the original old school mouse. traps. I was able to catch the mouse in my house with the old school traps within hours of setting it. Wish I can get my money back from the spin trap.
Can't even set it
Would Not RecommendI bought a 2 pack and NEITHER one of them would set. And yes, I had it sitting flat when I tried. I pulled the entryway so hard I almost broke the trap

Nice product
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When winter I saw no more mice in my garage. Excellent product

Does not work
Would Not RecommendI put peanuts INSIDE the set mouse trap after coming to the conclusion that the mouse wasn't stepping inside. Mouse got the peanuts and thus trap failed to catch the mouse, on many, many many attempts. Zero stars.

Hello Jackie. We are not sure why the trap is not being triggered, although some rodents are smarter than we give them credit for. If a rodent is no...
Mices, meeses, mouses, you are gone!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These traps have been great in the kitchen and dining room area of my home. Those little buggers have evaded so many other traps, but these have netted a catch of 15 mice.

Nope
Would Not Recommend2 packages, 4 traps, 2 weeks...zilch. Two glue traps, 2 days, 2 mice. Will still give these a chance, but so far they haven't done the job.
They Didn't Stand A Chance
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When the cold weather season came in, so did the annual parade of mice. Traded out old spring snap-type traps for this product, and found it much more convenient and easy to use; was not worried about pets messing with traps as much as with traditional traps.

Don't work for me.
Would Not RecommendSecurity camera capture mouse in and out without trap. Totally waste money.
Doesn't work
Would Not RecommendLoaded up with bait and got nothing. Crumpled up bread and wedged it inside and in the morning I shook out crumbs. Lousy product plain and simple.
