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 purchased a package that contained 2 of these along with some glue traps and another worthless plastic TomCat trap. The glue traps were great. Made me realize that I had an infestation and not just one mouse. This product along with the other stupid plastic trap caught nothing.
Does Not Work
Would Not RecommendI set two if these near old-fashioned moustraps baited with cheese. The fancy ones absolutely did not work. The tried and true old ones worked (as usual). DO NOT BUY THESE.
Umm
Would Not RecommendSoo I bought 4 traps I have been watching mice go in and out these traps and not one of them have triggered, and they are going far in the back!! Very disappointed!!! A waste of my money!!

Awful design
Would Not RecommendWe bought several of these traps a few days ago and have had zero success. We have had success with the mouse chewing a hole through the side of the plastic to get the bait. Granted rodents seem to being wising up their trap game, even the old school snap traps don’t work like they used to. The one trap I never had issues with was the old school spin style. The new ones are complete junk. Now not only do we have to clean up mouse crap but also plastic chunks.

Smart Rodents!
Would Not RecommendThis design is amazing!!! If only it had been smarter than the rodent! We filled the screw in compartment with peanut butter and set the trap.... Nothing... Okay, well maybe overnight it will work. The next morning we woke to find the trap upside down with the bait door scratched open. I regretfully did not take pictures, but this situation has made me appreciate how clever rodents are ... (And buy snap traps)

Horrible, wish I could give a negative star!
Worse trap ever, put 3 out in a drawer in camper with peanut butter & not one went off. Threw them out. Old trap similar to 2021 Kill & Contain also didn't work. The old model worked immediately first night put out but ran out. Will move to another brand.

Doesn't work
Would Not RecommendPut 8 of these traps around my kitchen. Could hear nice at night, in morning saw turds next to traps, but never caught any mice. Set up camera to watch- the mice enter, eat the peanut butter and leave and none of the traps activate. Waste of money.

Worked Well - and Fast
Would RecommendWe had a mouse that even my two cats couldn’t manage to catch. I didn’t want to have to see a dead critter so when I found these traps I was hopeful. They were super easy to set, and I was thrilled when I checked 6 hours later and the mouse had been caught. Disposal was simple and I did not have to see the dead mouse! I’m leaving the other traps set just in case this rodent had some friends with him.

Trap closed, mouse living happily inside
Would Not RecommendGot these hoping to take care of a mouse problem under the kitchen sink. Once it finally did trip the door shut it didnt perform as it should. Heard the mouse stuck i side the trap chewing its way out. Waste of money.

Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a clean and easy way to get rid of mice. I like not having to touch the dead mice. Easier to set than your normal mouse trap. No worrying about snapping your fingers. They also are not able to get the bate without getting caught.

Caught first night
Would RecommendHad a mouse in the backyard. Placed the spintrap with a little peanut butter and caught it the first night. Be weary of the negative reviews. Probably operator error. Worked great. No mess and effective.

Waste
Would Not RecommendI kept catching mice on glue traps and felt terrible so I bought 8 of these traps instead. I liked the idea that my toddler and pets wouldnt get hurt. I've had them for months and have not caught a single mouse. In fact, i just saw 2 mice running around my garage!

Not working
Would Not RecommendOur cat found a mouse in our kitchen several weeks ago so we bought a bunch of these traps. We have 5 of them in various places in our kitchen and more in the garage and hallway. We haven't caught anything, but the cat was just chasing another one two days ago so we know they're still here. I liked the idea of these being pet safe and not needing to see them, but they don't work. The Tomcat rodent repellent doesn't seem to be helping either.

Works like a charm!
Would RecommendI placed four of these traps in the kitchen area, with peanut butter bait, and went to bed. Found one of the traps shut by morning. Since that seemed too quick and easy, I pried open the lid of the shut trap. Found a dead mouse! Very easy to use and dispose off. Cheap and effective! Definitely satisfied enough to write my first product review ever.

Spin trap
Would Not RecommendDidn’t work. We have pets so we can’t use poison for bait. We used peanut butter as listed on the instructions. No luck and we used 4 traps in our garage.

Mice just poop on it
Would Not RecommendWe bought 4, and put them in the paths. No catches at all after a week. Under the sink and bottom of pantry were just tons of "evidence" of mice, but not one entered the trap. Checked the bait (pb) and it's still there.
