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 baited trap with peanut butter , chunky peanut butter , just does not trap mice , the old wood traps DO work but not this .
Doesn't work
Would Not RecommendI have two and I have never caught a mouse with it. I tried the Tomcat gel they recommended and then tried peanut butter and then tried sugar. The mice get the treats and don't get caught. The mouse droppings are all around the trap, but never get caught. I do not recommend. Waste of money.
useless mouse trap
Would Not RecommendBought tomcat brand mouse traps before and they worked great, this particular one doesn't work at all. Too hard to set and doesn't go off when the mouse goes on it. Do Not recommend.
This is the only thing I would buy
Would RecommendI found mouse droppings in the kitchen drawer on Friday night. I removed and scrubbed everything. Purchased two of these, a few snap traps and a glue pad and put in the drawer. This item caught Mickey and Minnie is less than 24 hours. My husband saw on you-tube that you can open them and reuse. I NEVER would, but he did and put them back in the drawer again after reset. Nothing on day two. I am going to buy a few new ones and try again before I start replacing my kitchen items.

Didn't Work For What I needed
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I left this up in my attic as well, but after the Winter (I hope) I went up to see if it had caught anything...and I know if it didn't, the many nights I heard something up there rambling around. It did not catch anything.

We apologize that you were unsatisfied with our product. Tomcat Spin Trap for Mice works well when it is placed in an area with high rodent activity....
Useless Mouse Trap
Would Not RecommendBought this and set it up. Mouse turds all around the trap, but didn't trap the mouse. Going to revert to the old, tried and true mouse trap with the spring loaded wire.
When the cat is away, the mice will play !
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Takes care of mice, stops them in their tracks ! Sleep peacefully with no critters under your bed.

Easy mousetrap
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Spin Trap for mice is an easy way to catch those little critters. I am the type of person who is fine with the old fashion version. Definitely does the job, just depends on the price you want to pay. Easy to set.

Took awhile
Would RecommendBought these hoping for quick results...took almost a week and had move them around and completely get rid of any other food opportunities before it finally went into the trap. Hope it's the one and only!! Did better using the corner method of placement
Mice laugh at it!
Would Not RecommendI bought a two-pack spin trap and baited it generously with peanut butter. The traps have been out for a week and I moved their location twice already with no results. The mouse is mocking us by pooping next to it now. The peanut butter is untouched. I also added some strong smelling cheese to see if that might entice the creature, but so far no results over the two days that I have had the cheese in the traps either.

Don't waste your money
Would Not RecommendI bought this 2-pack and baited it with chunky peanut butter. Still had the mouse after 3 days. I picked up the trap to inspect it and heard something rattling around in it. Shook it out on the counter - IT WAS THE MOUSES TURDS!!!!! He's been in and out of the trap and never set it off. That's a terrible design. I agree with previous reviewers - this is a mouse feeder, not a trap...
Doesn't work.
Would Not RecommendI bought the 2-pak, loaded both with peanut butter and placed them in frequented areas. After a couple days, there was poo on the trap but it was still set. I checked the bait container and saw some of the peanut butter gone. I reloaded with peanut butter and a piece of dog food. From a distance I could hear it eating inside then he scurried out. Perhaps you should market these as pet mouse houses.

Works well and easy to use
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this in my laundry room as I have new neighbors next door and have seen some activity. It worked well not long after I set it. Have purchased more to be safe. It's quiet, easy to use and doesn't smell.

easy to use
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is easy to use. Set the trap in garage and wait for mice to come in
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Unbelievable!
Would RecommendI bought the Spin trap and set it at about midnight, using peanut butter. By 6 am the next morning, the mouse was trapped!! I couldn't believe it. No mess, and don't have to look at the dead mouse. Absolutely worth every penny.

Spin Trap
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't have any luck with this trap. Used it on the stairs and various location still did not catch a mouse.
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
This works
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's just getting chilly here so we haven't caught anything goes but, in the past they have worked well.

I must smart mice
Would Not Recommendplaced 8 traps around kitchen and TV room (wherever I see droppings), using combination of some traps peanut butter, some Tomcat goo. All traps show signs that the mice have crawled inside and atop the traps. In multiple;e cases, the bait is gone the next day, which means the mice are inside but not tripping the trap Bought these as a compromise to thew glue pads...I guess my mice are smarter than the average riodent Glue pads next

Bad product
Would Not RecommendI bought six of these mousetraps. I had them set up for two weeks and I had no mice caught in them. I went back to the store purchased the cheapest mousetraps ever and I caught two mice within two hours. So these tomcat mousetraps don't work.
