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 Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tomcat Mouse Snap Traps are good. Although we have not caught anything with these traps, they should work for small mice. They are convenient and easy to use. I like how easy these are verses the old mouse trap.

So simple to use
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These mouse traps are so easy to use. Simply remove them from the package and push together the wide part of the trap. Place the food on the yellow trap inside and place in rodent affected area. These are pet and child safe. I had to try for myself and put my fingers in the trap to release it. It snapped immediately but I have to say it did not hurt at all. I tested because I have a dog that gets into everything. I have not caught any mice yet....

Awesome
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is wonderful it’s easy to step up and very sturdy for multiple uses. We have two cats and two kids both pretty young and these are safer then your typical mouse traps. My cats have messed with these and did snap on them. They are easy to clean as well. I think I will buy me a few more of these.

Great traps!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently bought a rental property that needed to be cleaned out, and we discovered mice. I decided to try these Tomcat Mouse Snap Traps. I'm so glad I found these. They are super easy to set. All you do is squeeze open. After setting up, you find spots to sit. After that, all you do is wait. After a while, check trap. When it captures one, you just grab by end, and squeeze to release, and dispose of. I prefer these over traditional traps. I r...

Caught Him! Faster than I anticipated too!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use and got the lil bugger! I was really very easy to use and I caught the pesky lil rascal the first time I set it out. I definitely would recommend for ease of use and effectiveness. Here in Florida it is easy to have a visitor or two. I only used it the one time because it did it's job and haven't seen another since.

Great trap!!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this mouse trap! We used to use the sticky traps but I find that they can be messy and I worry about my dog or cat stepping on it. This trap was super easy to set up and dispose of. I’ll definitely be buying more of these in the future!

Easy to use
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like how easy to use it is. It’s safe to just leave out as well so you don’t have to worry about kids getting hurt on a trap. Neighbor saw it and wanted to go get one as well. We’ll have to see if it actually does the job.

Mousetrap
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to operate and use. Used these for a mouse problem in the shed. First trap was tripped but no mouse. 2nd trap got the mouse. Tossed the whole thing in the garbage and didn’t have to touch the mouse. Held the mouse firmly.

Tomcat Mouse Trap
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a game changer for me. I don’t know if it’s because I’m older but the old style mouse traps were very frustrating to set. They would keep snapping while trying to setup. These are so much easier. Squeeze the back like a clothes pin, I put peanut butter in and your done. When you catch a mouse you squeeze the back open and toss out the mouse. Simple.

Mouse Snap Trap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seems like good quality product to me. I haven't been able to actually catch a mouse yet, but I think these should do the trick. I have thought about buying the recomended bait but keep forgetting when I go to the store

Works Great!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tomcat Mouse Snap Trap is awesome! When it starts getting cold out, the nice look for a warm place to go. I put a little piece of bread in the trap and caught a mouse the first day! It's very easy to set, use and to dispose of the mouse. I ended up purchasing several and they've been working like a charm!
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Very strong traps
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a sturdy mouse trap. I love that I don’t have to come nowhere near the rat/mouse. I usually add a piece of cheese or peanut butter and it attracts the mice. They have no chance with these mouse traps. They’re very easy to use and there’s even a gel you can purchase to put on it. Very Esaú to use and so convenient. Easy to discard and lightweight.

Works sometimes/ Reuse questionable
Would Not RecommendBought a pack years ago and got multiple uses out of it, did okay catching mice. The newest pack failed multiple times and after finally catching 2 mice would no longer set. It would keep snapping shut as I set it down. I expected far more reuse out of this than 2 times. Disappointed.
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Great Product
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great little mouse trap! I love that it is absolutely hands free and I do not have to touch it. Its quiet and I can easily put it somewhere my cats cannot get into it. I would absolutely recommend!!!!
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Safe, Easy to Use
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This does not use a poison which I prefer because you can dispose of the mice instead of them crawling somewhere else and dying leading to a bad odor. These are safer than traditional wood traps. I've had this set for two weeks and have caught 3 mice.

Easy to set & use
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These mouse traps are great! They are so easy to set and use. It’s easy to add in the peanut butter. It’s also super easy to remove the mouse when caught. These mouse traps are the best I’ve ever owned as far as easy to set and use. As well as easy to release the dead mouse. I love them and I would recommend them.

Great traps
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Tomcat Mouse Snap Traps are so easy to set and use. They quickly set in place and snap quickly on contact. I really like that you can re-arm them after catching a mouse and re-use it. Overall this is a great trap option that is easy to use and does what you expect it to do.

You don't have to see anything
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great mouse trap. Because it is inclosed you don't have to see the what happened. We live in a realy rural area so un the winter mice can decide to move in. I don't like to look at what has been done to the mice. This trap is quick and quite.
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Simple and clean
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very simple and clean rodent traps. Easily add bait to the cylinder and replace it from the underside to keep from touching the business end of this trap. Disposal of catch is clean also, just pinch the end like a chip clip to release.
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
No mice - no problem
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nothing yet. I did not think I had a mouse problem, but I wanted to make sure. I set them up and have not caught anything, but the setup was super easy. Honestly I hope I never catch one, but if a mouse is crazy enough to come into my house, I am confident this will get it.
