What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise these traps for consistently catching mice within hours, often citing peanut butter as effective bait and the Press 'N Set mechanism as safe and easy to use compared to traditional designs. Many appreciate the hands-free disposal and simple setup. However, a notable group reports mechanical failures, particularly with the plastic trigger mechanism and reset latch breaking after one or two uses, leaving traps unusable. Despite these durability concerns, most customers find the traps highly effective and convenient for their core purpose.

Works best vs. wood other plastic brands
Would RecommendMost effective snap trap. No idea why it works better than other plastic or wood snap traps? It just does. Is reuseable, but sometimes loses effectiveness after 2 or 3 uses. Plus, they can get gross after a few uses, so I still consider these disposable.

Works great
Would RecommendEasy to set up and release. We caught a mouse 20 minutes after setting it up (with a small piece of cheese), caught another one at night, that is within 12 hours. Well worth the money.

Had a mouse that was too smart for the glue traps. Put one of these in the attic, peanut butter and bam. Success. Took less than a day.

A WONDER TRAP
Would RecommendThis trap is nothing short of a miracle. I thought I had a small problem in my finished basement after a bird seed bag was chewed into overnight. I purchased a package of two of these exact traps and was surprised at the results. Baited with a pinch of birdseed (they obviously like it), these small traps irradicated my problem in 72 hours. Used over and over again, I set these 2 traps four times each and killed 7 mice (until the problem disappeared. I can't say enough about them.

Easy trap, works fine.
Mouse trap a bit weird to use. You got a touch pad(trigger) floating around the bait "bucket"(little container). When you set the mouse the jaw goes 90 degree to the "bucket" and watch out to the touchpad. That thing is sensitive. I put a little peanut butter in the "bucket". When the trap snap. You got an handle standing up. I'm sure you could reuse the trap but with my wife around. It's not going to happen. Everything goes the trash bag. I recommended to anyone. easy to bait before arming the...

cheap and defective
Would Not RecommendWhen they work they are only good for 2 uses tops. I've also bought a pair new and they are too hair trigger. They snap shut just by gently placing them on the floor or through motion.

Worked great
Would RecommendI had a stubborn small mouse that wasn’t setting off the typical wood traps. These worked super well and got the mouse within an hour of setting it up. Super easy to set up and the metal teeth are really helpful for making sure the don’t get away

50/50
I have tried over and over hoping to find some more reliable than others. There is a design flaw and often the release slips down allowing the mice to feed and the trap does not trigger. After a dozen different ones, I give up going back to old reliable.
