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.

I deployed two of these traps in the suspected mouse "zone".. next day, one of the traps had been moved slightly... no mice caught. I deployed a Tomcat "press" trap next to the spin traps.. less than 12 hours later, I had my culprit. It was too large to fit in the spin trap. I am now deploying both types of traps in case there are smaller "friends" and family who'd like to spin and die rather than getting crushed. So, the jury is out on whether or not these are good traps.. guess it depends on h...
1st time use: mouse down
Follow instructions and it works, Tom wins Jerry loses

Mouse chewed way to freedom; has to be a zero star
Would Not RecommendFound mouse droppings, checked my Tomcat Spin Trap, and a mouse was "Caught" but had chewed its way to freedom! What a mouse; what a joke of a trap.

Cheap
Would Not RecommendI've had the product for maybe an hour now since I've gotten home. I dropped the device and it split into three pieces. I normally would say no big deal, but there's no deatils on how to assemble it back together, which is much harder than you'd think. Would not recommend rather than just getting either an old fashion mouse trap or a sticky one. Anything is better than this cheap garbage.

These still don't work!
Would Not RecommendPut these all over and did not catch one mouse. Picked them up and put the old fashioned ones down and caught 3 mice first night. Used to be good but really suck now!

Got the mouse, but took a while
Would RecommendI set the product in the location between my refrigerator and kitchen cabinets where I had seen a mouse run that morning. I baited it with peanut butter. It was easy to bait with the little holder that twists out from the bottom of the device. It took three days, but eventually I got a mouse. While the trap is easy to use and allows you to dispose of the mouse without seeing the body, a traditional trap might produce faster results. Also, the spin trap is somewhat expensive for a single use pro...

From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Super quick
Would RecommendEasy to set and easy to place. Killed a mouse within the first 24 hours of using this trap. Baited it with peanut butter, set it, and placed it under my propane grill. It wasn’t even near a wall but it did the trick. Great product.
Trap works!
Would RecommendSet the trap with peanut butter - the next morning the mouse was in the trap!
Hasn't caught a mouse yet.
Would Not RecommendI've had 2 of these traps set for almost a month now, doesn't even look like the mice have touched it once. I know they are still around because I find evidence of them there right near the traps.

Has not caught a single mouse.
Would Not RecommendWell I've had a lot of luck with the Tomcat® Press 'N Set® Mouse Trap but this trap is a dud. I've bought over 10 packs of two in a box at least from different stores & nothing has been caught. I use gloves, switch up baits , put multiple spread out along the rodents path, bought from different stores.... but if I switch to the other trap or a different brand the trap taking it's place works... I feel pretty ripped off after buying so many of these and not have kept the receipt.

Works perfect
Would RecommendI have an Arlo camera pointed directly at the trap and have recorded the mice going in and out of them, but their luck runs out. I have caught 2 mice in the last 3 days. going to buy more traps today

Didn't catch any mice
Would Not RecommendI bought these at Home Depot, thinking they would be so much better than the old style wooden traps. Luckily, I had left the old wooden ones out along with the new Spin traps. Over several weeks, the old wooden ones caught several mice and the Spin traps caught none. Had I used just the Spin traps, I would have thought there were no more mice, since they weren't being set off. I am very disappointed and do not recommend these at all.

Did not do the job
Would Not RecommendI set these traps up with bait per the directions. Days went by and the mouse was still roaming around. Returned these and picked up glue traps instead. Within one hour the glue trap caught the mouse.
Terry, we’re sorry you had this frustrating experience with Tomcat Spin Trap 2-Count Mouse Killer. This is not the quality we expect from our product...
Easiest mouse trap option
Would RecommendThis trap is easy to bait, easy to set, easy to see if it has caught a mouse, and easy to dispose of. My favorite option among mouse traps.
