Ratings & Reviews for TOMCAT Mouse Traps (Wooden) 4 Count Mole Killer

Worked for me

As with any kind of trap or bait, the rodent will become risk averse. You have to keep switching it up to confuse them. These have worked with me in combination with glue traps and of course blocking access to holes, which is the best way.

Outwitting Mice with the Unsurpassed Tomcat Wooden

After employing the Tomcat wooden mouse traps, I am absolutely compelled to write a glowing review. I'm rather taken aback by the number of 1-star reviews; I suppose some folks might encounter the occasional hiccup when it comes to setting traps. It can be quite the puzzling ordeal for some—like a real brain teaser. But for the cunning mouse-trap-setter, the Tomcat wooden mouse traps are nothing short of a revelation. Let's just say, these traps have a responsiveness that would make a high-end ...

Not impressed

your trap has an engineering defect. the bait holder is too wide and too long. I watched a mouse trip the trap whiteout being in the kill zone. Two nights I watched this happen. Smart mouse.

Junk

Just bought these, DO NOT BUY! The pin isn’t long enough to hold the bait plate that has no ledge.

Worthless

Don't waste your money. Not worth a single star, but 0 isnt an option and no one reads 1 star reviews. I bought a pack of two. I know where the mouse comes out of the wall, I've seen it. First time the mouse dragged the trap under the stove where it went off. Taped trap to the floor. 3 activations, all failed. The forth time the trap broke. Mouse 5, tomcat traps 0

Poor features

Better products out there learned the hard way too sensitive

Save your money

Total junk. Mice are just getting bigger eating the bait and not triggering the snap. Will not buy this brand again!

Best trap I've used

Best mouse traps I've used. Easy to set and the get the mouse every time. I've been using the same trap for years and still works great. I've probably caught 50 mice with it.

Unneeded “innovation” and “improvement”

The distances between the trigger, pin, and anchor points are too far away to get the trap to set. Bending the anchor points, etc., doesn’t fix it because the pin isn’t even long enough. Plus, it’s not my job. These should work out of the pack. Frustratingly worthless. Doesn’t work.

Catches mice. Doesn't kill them

It doesn't kill mice. It had one by the leg and the mouse was biting itself free when I found and released it outside. Another had one by the midsection and it was still moving. The springs are too weak to even damage a paper straw when I tested the traps afterwards.

Didn’t hold cheap wood worked great until it didnt

Worked great until the metal parts securing it to the would became loose and wood not tighten and eventually show them under the sink where they can not be removed from.

Biggest junk I have ever bought.

I can't even get it set because the pin won't stay under the yellow, it just slides out. You guys know it's junk. Just look at the feedback. You have more 1 star's than anything else and you got the 1 star only because we had to. . How can you keep selling this crap and ripping people off.

Poor Design!!

Bought them today because thats all that Meiers carries. Horrible design!! The actuating rod does not stay put under the bait station on the trap. Would not buy again

Garbage Traps

Garbage traps. Bought these because they were out of the basic Victor brand wood traps. Should not take 12 tries to set a trap without it snapping. Will never buy tomcat brand anything again.

Tomcat “traps” = mouse feeding stations

I’ve used Victor brand wooden traps before with a very high degree of success. The store only had Tomcat wooden traps which I figured would be pretty much the same - so wrong! The mouse that I’m trying to trap ate the peanut butter off two Tomcat trap pedals without triggering them. I find this strange because they were a bit touchy to set and triggered two just setting them down the first time. I should’ve known better, as the Tomcat Press and Set traps my friend got had very unpredictable...

Works as intended!

Standard wooden mouse trap, simple and easy to use. This model requires you to have the yellow bait area in a raised position... ~45*. Other types have a different locking mechanism. See pictures of set traps on this site. So far I've caught 3 mice in less than a week and noticing much less 'suspected activity'. They work great as long as you catch on to how the bait area sets differently.

Works Great!

Bought two traps today and caught two mice. Both mice were caught right behind the head. I'll be purchasing more tomorrow.

Mostly just free mouse food

I bought these traps at my local grocery store and I must say they do a great job at feeding mice, killing them…not so much. Most mornings after I leave the traps out i come down to see all the bait is gone but the trap is still locked and loaded. It’s amazing the amount of pressure it takes to set these off, even at the loose setting. If you’re interested in providing the mice in your house with free food, this trap is for you. I wish i were kidding.

Hate the yellow thing

I just bought these. I have been using these mouse traps for years, now you added the yellow thing and I can’t work it.

Poor design

I couldn’t get the traps to set after many attempts and watching videos to guide me. They do not line up correctly. Better off with a different brand.
