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.

new traps don't work
Would Not RecommendI've used these before and found they worked well. But now I'm on my second pack of two, and I'm just feeding the mice peanut butter. I've tried to trigger the traps with a skewer, and it won't snap. The mice lick them clean and have even knocked them over on their side, and they do not snap. These are brand-new traps out of the box, and I'm setting them correctly. I don't know what's happened that they no longer work.

Great design, poor quality plastic.
Would RecommendThese are wonderful traps, but unfortunately there's a problem with the plastic they use. At the back of the trip mechanism there's a small plastic hook that keeps the trap set and ready to go. Unfortunately the force of the spring which loads the trap is often enough to break off the tip of the hook, springing the trap and rendering it useless. About half of the traps I've purchased ( I've bought 6 so far) have broken themselves within the first few hours after setting them because of this q...

Worst trap I've ever used
Would Not RecommendIf I could give this fewer stars I would. The trap lacked the power to kill the mouse it caught leaving it crushed and suffering. I threw both traps away and will never purchase anything from this brand again.

Breaks easily
Got home, put some peanut butter on the trap, then realized one of the two traps was already broken before I could use it. Otherwise, these traps have always worked fine for me, but what a hassle to have to drive back to the store and hope to get a refund…
