What Customers Are Saying
Customers are sharply divided on these traps' effectiveness. Many praise the ease of setting, mess-free disposal, and reusable plastic design, reporting consistent success catching mice overnight with peanut butter or cheese. However, nearly as many report critical failures: traps that won't trigger, weak springs, premature snapping, or bait theft without capture. Some describe repeated success over weeks, while others find the mechanism poorly engineered or loses tension after few uses. Overall, reviewers remain split between strong satisfaction and frustration with reliability.

Would Not RecommendI have had two of these traps set up for weeks now and the mice keep eating the bait without setting off the trap. Twice though, a mouse has set the trap off with no bait in it only to have a foot caught in the trap. It then tries to drag the trap back into its point of entry where we have to try to get the mouse back out without losing it. That then turns into a game of chase around the house and it’s not a good time at 3 in the morning.
Work but break quickly.
Would Not RecommendThey do work but only for a couple of times. They snap so violently they end up breaking.

Catches but doesn’t finish them
Would Not RecommendWorst mousetrap ever because it traps them but doesn’t unalive them. The spring is too weak and the jaws are too small. Nothing worse than opening a cabinet and seeing an injured animal stuck in a trap.

Bought a 2 pack and one would not lock in place, the other worked but after catching a mouse now the 2ed one will not lock in place. Nice concept but not worth the money!

Doesn't work
Would Not RecommendI have had these for 3 days. for the days, the mouse has eaten the bait (peanut butter) without triggering the trap. Either this mouse is highly intelligent, or these are a waste of money.

Failure
The mice eat the peanut butter off the bait tab without going off. I did catch one mouse once . I have 3 of them and they just don’t work. I have baited them so many times. The last time I check them, the bait was gone and they were still set.

Don’t bother.
Would Not RecommendI have bought a few of the tomcats products from my local Lowe’s In Hagerstown Md. None of them work at all. It’s just a money collector Should not be on the shelves. The mice just eat the bait. So I’m just feeding them at this point.

Build a Worser Mousetrap
Would Not RecommendI bought these because I figured they would be safer for my cat. However, they don't stay open most of the time. What was the point of manufacturing and selling these when the good old snap traps work better?
