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 didn’t know when I purchased this item that it could only be used once. There is no way to remove the mouse once it is in the trap.
Didnt work for me.
Would Not RecommendI got this rather then usual snap trap as I didnt want to wake up to see a dead mouse. Left this out for over a week and the mice ive been having seemed to go right past it. Even put extra peanut butter in there midweek after failing to catch them to entice them more, and they still didnt fall for it.

Works great
Would RecommendThese traps worked great. I just wish I knew how to get the mice out of my wall without poisoning them.

Waste of money!
Would Not RecommendSet traps as directed with peanut butter as bait. Placed them in areas I've seen mice. Over 4 weeks later, nothing caught. I'm throwing these out and calling an exterminator.

Joke
Would Not RecommendI've had 4 of these set up for days, with no mice. On day 5, I set up a standard bail style trap, and caught 3 the first night. I've had 2 of these set up for weeks in my basement. Just thought we didn't have mice. Once I started seeing signs, I set up the other 4. Never caught a single mouse. Don't buy

Didn't work
Would RecommendPurchased two of these. Used the Tomcat's attractant Gel in one Peanut Butter in the other. I set up two trail cameras and I got to watch the mouse sniff around both as well as two other TomCat Mouse Traps. Used the four traps for a little over a week and watched the mouse walk by all four several times a night. I finally used the tried and true spring rat trap with peanut butter, got the mouse the first night.

Worked the first night
Would RecommendI had a mouse problem under my kitchen sink. I cleaned out the cabinet and put fresh shelf liner down. I put peanut butter in the bait cup, set the trap and placed it in the back of the cabinet against the back wall. I kept the cabinet empty. The trap was the only thing in it. The next morning the mouse was caught and dead.
