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 RecommendYou should be ashamed of yourselves. The rat that we caught using your brand suffered tremendously. Don't you have any empathy? What the heck? We truly though that this was the less cruel Solution. We were wrong. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. IT SHOULD BE BANNED.

Two broken traps, zero trapped mice
Would Not RecommendBait was taken out of the trap several times, and both traps were broken within two weeks. Don't waste your money or time on these

Does the Job
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We always get mice this time of year in my kitch and other rooms of the house. Unfortunately my two cats are not doing their job. This mouse trap is easy to set up and so far I have had 4 mice captured.

Not working
I have used in past with great luck, however, recently purchased 3 new traps and baited with peanut butter as in the past and mice are getting fed and traps are not snapping. One of the brand new ones won't stay open so not sure what went wrong but this time around these traps are not doing the trick.

Mouse too small to trip Snap Traps
Would Not RecommendSadly, this tiny mouse ate the peanut butter clean off BOTH Snap Traps two nights in a row. Apparently I need to try something else. Our cat has helped us chase it under furniture. Then we bait the traps with a dab of sticky peanut butter and place them there. The next morning, food is gone, so is the mouse.

Worked great!
Would RecommendI am surprised at the negative reviews. We used two right where we suspected they were entering and up against the wall and got two the first night. Mice like to stick close to the edges, they dont like to be in the open. So maybe try that. And our traps are very sensitive so they are very reactive. Very happy with the results. Webe used them in the past too.

This needs to go back to the drawing board.
Would Not RecommendWorst trap ever. Basically fed the mice for the past week. Even tried to put the bait towards the rear of the plate so they would have to step on it. I threw the 4 traps away this morning after they were all clean of bait and not one was set off. Engineers need to look this one over again.

Does not work
Would Not RecommendI bought 4 of these traps. I've put them out as instructed and baited with peanut butter and every morning when I check them the bait is gone and the trap has not been set off. It seems I have enticed more mice to come in by feeding them instead of killing them.

Traps
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great products to help you get rid of your pests. Easy to use and easy to install and get rid of. Quick, just setup and then wait for the snap,and then you can come and dispose the whole thing and get back to enjoying your day

Easy and Effective
Would RecommendThese are easy to set and the bait gel is effective. Have had great success with them.
Not as good as they used to be
Would Not RecommendI go through a lot of mouse traps in farm machinery, and these used to be the best traps on the planet, but something has changed. I don't know if something changed in manufacturing or the tooling has become worn, but half the time now, these traps won't stay open brand new right out of the box. So figure on having to buy twice as many as you think you need.

Spring fails and plastic nut where spring attached
Would RecommendI have had success many times but recently a few traps failed making me think a rat or larger mouse wiggled out. No more activity though makes me think failure of spring and plastic nut inside trap beyond yellow baiter. Great for activity monitoring but they can mark traps to avoid them. I had 2 traps loose the spring so I bought a rat trap and have setup a motion camera to see if it’s a rat or bad batch.

Worked great for first trap
The trap worked great the first time, but I can’t reuse it because it won’t stay open for an additional use. Is there something I can do to make it stay open when set?

mouse feeders
Would Not RecommendI used 3 of these traps together in an area I know the mice are. I can't tell you how many times I checked them only to find the bait (peanut butter) gone and no mice to be seen. I fed way more mice then I killed. The trap have been tossed in the trash.

Easy to set
Would RecommendEasy to set, but doesn’t have a strong spring to always catch and keep a mouse.
Garbage! DO NOT BUY ! 1 out of 4 Traps functions
Would Not Recommendi purchased two 2 packs of these traps. 3 out of the 4 traps cannot even be set to stay open. Forget about trying to bait them. I had purchased the same brand and type of trap several years ago and the old traps worked great. In fact we still use them today. I purchased 4 new traps and one cannot even get the trap to stay open. Complete lack of quality control. Really disappointed. I threw out my receipt so it is money down the drain.
