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.] These Work great, I love that you can use them catch and reuse or not. I put these down and checked them every day for a week before I noticed a mouse. I was able to remove the mouse and reuse to catch another mouse less then a week apart!

So easy to use!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to use and works fast! I love having a product I can use with ease myself. Simple and effective, I will definitely repurchase. I recommend to all home owners like myself, being close to this Creek I am always on high alert with mice and rodents and compared to other traps, these work best in my opinion.

Great product
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy setup but very strong so watch your fingers. Product is as advertised. Bait entices critters and sensitivity is perfect for the catch. I used them in my shed and it only took 2 days for the first catch.

A different type of mouse trap
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Snap traps are revolutionary, inventive and safe. You can use them with bait or without. There made with plastic and appear to be long lasting and weather resistant. I highly recommend them to family and friends.

Not a real deal
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although super easy to use , I’m Not impressed. Bait taken but no catch. Using 2 in separate locations same room. Box says gel not required but peanut butter doesn’t work well with traps. Glad these were testers

Easy to use
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So easy to use and really no mess. We have a pole barn there is no way to keep out mice even with poisons which we do not want to use. Placing the snap traps through out the area has cut down on the issue. The mice do not seem to be bothered by these traps so its easier to lure them in. A small amount of peanut butter and within a short time you will hear a snap. It feels lightweight but its powerful enough to take the mouse down. I did snap my...

1st time in 15+ years no mice have been trapped
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Must be good, No mice yet! Last 3 years have been horrible in Ohio with 10+ mice in traps every year...This year we haven't had any or any mouse droppings... Only thing different we did reside our house and new roof and gutters and downspouts... We also has some termite damage, so we had house treated and traps installed around house. Not sure if they were a food source for mice or not... So, no mice in the Tomcat traps, but we are ready if the...

Snappy!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These tomcat mouse snap traps work exactly as intended. I put A little dab a peanut butter or cheese inside the mechanism and curiosity takes its course. It's just a matter of time before you have your test in a state of eternal rest. Excellent product!

Won't set
Would Not RecommendBought two packages of the black plastic tomcat mouse traps. Out of the 4 traps only one would set. The other three will not stay set with its jaws ready.

Very Easy To Use
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the Tomcat® Mouse Snap Traps. What I like about the product is just how easy the traps are to use. All you have to do is squeeze the back of the trap to open it up, and set it. I feel like there is no way that I could accidentally snap my fingers with these traps. I also like how you just squeeze the back again to release the mouse into the garbage can. I also like how the traps come in a set of two, and are made in the USA.

Tomcat trap
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tomcat mouse trap seems like a quality product. I have not seen any mice around yet to know if it is being used or acting as it should. Tomcat is usually a great product and results are seen in the items I purchase so far.

Easy to use, and effective
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Tomcat mousetrap is very easy to use, and has been effective since setting them up in my garage. I caught 3 mice in a 24 hour period, and the disposal process was easy and prevented touching the mouse on removal. I liked the tips on the back of the package for placement of the trap. I feel these helped me be more successful in using the product as designed. The trap themselves are easy to set, and don't have any worries of accidentally g...

Effective and Rasy
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had mice in our attic and my husband set out a Tomcat Snap Mouse Trap and I was impressed with the ease. No messy set up or wondering if it was going to get you, there’s are very effective and easy to use.
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Safer to use!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I prefer snap traps over poisons and baits because you can dispose of the mice instead of them crawling somewhere else in your home before dying. I've used wooden snap traps before, but always worry that I will end up getting my fingers caught in them. These Tomcat mouse snap traps are different. Your fingers are less likely to get snapped and they are safer to have around children and pets. I placed a dab of peanut butter on the bait plate ins...

Easy and effective
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first two nights I caught two mice in two traps. I used peanut butter as bait. Easy to setup and easy to empty the trap and reset. I will definitely use again and recommend to my friends. Best mouse trap I have ever used.

The Easiest Mouse Trap to Set!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got the chance to try the Tomcat Mouse Snap Trap and it has the perfect name because it snaps at the drop of a hat!! Even when setting it, you have to hold it tight to keep it from snapping. It is the easiest mouse trap I have ever set up. You just pinch the ends open and it is set. The company recommends using this trap with their Tomcat Attractant to attract mice. I might have to give it a try because we have one big mouse that we ...
