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 bought several, used their attractant and have not caught a mouse in a month. Switched to peanut butter with the same results, even though I see indications of mice in the immediate area of the traps. The best results I have had were with the battery powered one, but they didn't last very long, and I can no longer find them.

Doesn’t work
The mouse is literally eating the peanut butter out of the bait cup and this trap is not triggering to catch it! I’ve used two of them and neither worked. So disappointed. I’m going to have to make another trip to the store to get this mouse out of my house.

THESE DO NOT WORK SAVE UR $!!!
Would Not RecommendI have an attached pole barn on my house so mice are a constant irritation to me. I am embarrassed to admit I'm absolutely terrified of them, so I keep poison blocks and misc traps all over my house, barn, porch, etc. These traps were a Christmas gift from my best friend knowing I don't handle the disposal of the dead bodies well, she thoughtfully bought me a four pack of these to save me some suffering.... here it is six months later n they are the only traps i own that haven't caught one singl...

Does not catch mice
Would Not RecommendWe had 4 traps out for two nights now. The mice are there because we see new droppings, but they are either going right in and out of these traps or just not going Around them at all. Waste of money.
easy to use, mouse caught
Would RecommendBought four of these to kill a single mouse (at least I hope there was only one!!) who has been terrorizing me in my dining room for about a week. I used peanut butter as the bait. First night, nothing. Second night, mouse came out and I watched him circle a couple of the traps but did not go in. I went upstairs to give him some privacy. The next morning, one of the traps was sprung. I've been told there's no such thing as one mouse-- still have 3 more traps. Let's find out.

Horribly Useless
Would Not RecommendIf I could give them zero stars, I would have. I purchased 8 packs of these traps. I even placed two of them with bait in an area where I know the mouse is chilling in. They have been out for more than 48 hours and have not caught anything. I truly hate that I didn’t save my receipt because I was confident it would work but unfortunately it has failed. I really wish I would have checked the reviews for this trap before purchasing.

I like the fact i wouldnt see them
Would Not RecommendI have bought this kind a couple times but the more i think about i really dont think i have ever caught anything with them. But i had one under my sink trying to catch a mouse that was under there a lot (lots of mouse turds) when to clean under there to find the trap had definitely not it anything! But the rodents had turds all over it instead of checking in!

Doesn't work!

Worked despite the mouse attempting a work around
Would RecommendHave had great success in short order with these traps. Not sure if it's common, but our mice attempted to chew through the trap to get to the bare rather than go through the entrance... In the end, the mouse gave in and we are currently sans mice. I like the easy set and disposal...and aside from the attempted work around, happy with my purchase.

Worst money I’ve ever spent
Would Not RecommendWe have two cats and two dogs so we were immediately attracted to these traps so our animals wouldn’t get caught up in it being nosey. Our cats are worthless and our dogs already caught one mouse but the traps haven’t done a thing. Kept finding mouse droppings on our dog food containers so I placed dog food in the trap by the containers. Checked the trap and all 6 pieces of dog food are gone with mouse droppings in the trap! Don’t waste your money or worry about the humane way to do it. Get anyt...

Don’t work.
Would Not RecommendI bought four of these and they don’t work. The bait attracts the mice but the trap never goes off. I know the mice go inside the trap because they leave their droppings inside it. So frustrating.

Does NOT Kill Quickly
Would Not RecommendI bought this as a humane convenient mouse trap.. as it advertises "no mess" and "kills quickly".. I set up the trap with peanut butter, it did it's job in catching the mouse.. but upon disposal after the trap sprung.. you could hear the mouse inside squeaking and suffering up to at least 5 minutes that I was aware of. Basically, if you want to humanely, instantly kill the little critter, I would not recommend this product.

Terrible trap
Would Not RecommendI bought this product a few days ago, and it has consistently failed to show any results. One of my rooms had been infested with mice, so I laid down the Spintraps, equipped with peanut butter. This trap constantly kept going off by itself, and never caught anything, after almost a week of usage. Note* I bought more than one of this specific trap and none caught a thing.

Useless
Would Not RecommendBought two of these to catch a mouse going through my kitchen drawers. Mouse has been all the way in both of them twice and trap won’t go off. He’s probably too fat now to fit through it given all the peanut butter he has eaten. He’s laughing at me.

Absolutely Useless
Would Not RecommendThis was the first time I had used this brand as I usually use DCON, but Lowes no longer sells them. I had 3 of these Tomcat traps out for almost 2 weeks and caught nothing although I kept noticing the bait was getting taken. I went somewhere that carried DCON and within an hour of putting them out started catching mice left and right. Do not waste your money on these - they absolutely do not work. Get the DCON spinning mouse traps.
