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 bought these a few weeks ago. We have officially seen the mice. I set 2 of these up, in addition to other child safe traps (I have a 2 year old). The other traps have caught nothing but the peanut butter is still intact. These! Every time I set them, hours later the peanut butter is gone, trap still set. Totally useless. I bought these hoping to kill mice, not feed them. Don't waste your money.

Not working for me.
We found holes near the chicken coop and after a little research I assume there are rats. I bought 4 Tomcat traps baited them with peanut butter placed them under milk crates. Two days in a row all 4 traps were tripped but no rat. Then I tried the same but tried screwing them to a wood base thinking it would be harder to escape, again tripped and no rat. To be fair I also tried the Victor trap and it was tripped and no rat too. i'm thinking I have to find a poison.

Perfect snap trap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use and mess free snap trap. Easy to set and you don’t have to worry about pets or the kids getting caught up in the trap. Solid construction material so it can withstand the elements if used out side.

Best traps ever!
Would RecommendI live in the country. So that means mice! Ugh! Ironic the woman with pet rats! I have tried several types of traps. Traditional Victor. They rarely catch anything but my fingers! Or the few times they work, mousey is a bloody mess. The white Tom Cat Snap traps are great and super easy to set up! And they always work within 12 hours. I think the secret to their success is the bait goes in a recessed cup. Mousey has to really get in there. The teeth are lightweight but strong! I've never had a m...

Live trap? Not fun.
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This trap caught two mice the first week I set it. That was awesome. Mice always make their way into our finished basement in the winter time if the weather gets real cold for several days. The first catch went well. I checked the trap and I had caught a mouse overnight. The mouse was easy to dispose of without needing to touch anything I didn’t want to. I just had to open the trap over a little baggie, let the mouse drop out and it was over wi...

The little bugger didn't have a chance
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these and within 24 hours of setting it up, I caught the little bugger. So easy to use!!! I was worried to use this around my dog, but with it being non toxic, it was perfect. I did use a little peanut butter and the little bugger didn't have a chance!!!

Snap Trap Mouse Trap
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found the trap to be weak, wish it had a little more snap. It works good for small mice, but I found it tripped more than once with nothing in it. It is very easy to set up and easy to remove the mouse when you catch one.

Catches the smart ones.
Would RecommendI place the trap, set, with a tiny piece of Ritz cracker on it. Everything loves Ritz. I put it inside a small paper lunch bag on my counter. Mouse goes for the cracker, trap snaps and ends the life quickly. I can peek in and see that there is a mouse but don't have to look at the whole scene. Grab the edge of the bag and into the garbage. No horror show.

Gotcha
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product definitely did the job - easy placement, got the critter without any issue and we are rid of it. Would use this product again if needed. I have recommended this product to friends and neighbors and have not had a bad review

123 Snap!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use. I just had to go buy the stuff for it. Just place the food on the trap and the mice get caught in it. I have some small field mice that come out every now and then. I trapped about two. Just didn't like taking them off the trap

Easier for my anxiety
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I much preferred these to original mouse traps. I cannot help but get antsy that the originals are going to snap back at me. These work my anxiety much less. They did not seem to bother the mice much as I had two caught from my garage overnight. I will definitely be purchasing these again!

Kills
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great. Easy to set, they're seen effective and clean up is easy. Kinda light but will stay in place. Peanut butter is the best bate to use that I have found. I would recommend this to anyone that has a rodent issue.
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Worked great
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This trap is the more modern version of the traditional mouse trap. It is much simpler to use and works exactly as described. I placed one in the back of the house where I had been trying to catch a mouse with other traps for months, within 48 hours this trap caught the mouse! Highly recommend these traps.

Best trap
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This came at the perfect time! We put them out because we had a mouse sneak in our garage, the snap trap caught it in one night. We keep a second one out there now as a precaution. They’re easy to use and clean up! Huge fan of this item.

Easy Trap To Use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is very well designed for ease of use and working great. Just follow simple instructions and your mouse problem will go away. I found peanut butter to be the best bait to use in the trap as the smell will attract mice.
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Works great
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works great and has easy to read directions and is so easy to use anywhere you need it inside your home. It is small and the perfect fit in a corner or even under a sink whereever that you need to place it.

Snap Snap Snap
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Snap Traps are solid. Been using them for years. They work as intended. Rodent will not escape. I usually place them in around my attic and behind appliances. Peanut butter or store bought bait work well.
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Works great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this particular brand before and it does the job! As long as directions are followed, the product will work correctly! I will continue to use this as it always works and hasn't failed me yet!!!

Great mouse trap
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon receiving these traps, I wasn’t sure how well they would work, because they didn’t seem to close hard on my finger. I tried these out in a few places with no luck, as there just wasn’t a mouse population in and around my garage. Then a cold snap hit and I heard them on my back porch. I moved and baited them this time, and so far I have had to clean out the traps the last two days in a row. The mice just don’t seem to be able to stay away ...

Makes me feel good my pets are safe using this!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tomcat mousetrap does the job. I am pleased in how it worked. I felt safe using it because I have a dog. It is the best I have used. I am not comfortable with chemicals or seeing the rodent. Using it in the garage too.
