Ratings & Reviews for TOMCAT Tomcat Single Live Catch Trap - 12 count case Mouse Kill

success!

Trap worked on the first night we had it out. Easy to use and worked as advertised. I used gloves to set it up and used peanut butter as bait. Little guy will probably chew his way out eventually if given enough time but didn’t for us.

Excellent product !

We had a mice nest in our home. The exterminator put a number of traps and those did not work. We found the mice were eating the peanut butter. I set up a camera and found the mice were so small they would not trigger the traps. So we got two of these and they worked great. We move the mice far from home and the problem was resolved. The design is clever. Thank you for such a great product.

Escaped mice!

This is a great trap for catching mice! Only problem is you have to take into account the tenacity of a trapped rodent. Even though the door closed perfectly, the mouse was able to force it open just enough to escape even though the weight of the mouse was supposed to keep the door closed. If I don't catch it on time and jam the door closed with a rock, the mouse will be gone by morning. If there were a spring loaded door to keep it shut tighter, my ratio of caught to escaped mice would increase...

Catches mice, just might not hold them

I bought this and initially had decent success, caught about 4 mice in a couple weeks. Then I woke up one morning to find the trap triggered and little black shreds all around it, the mouse had chewed out of the trap. May need to upgrade the plastic used.

Edible traps?

Good news - set it one evening and caught a mouse that night... Bad news - he ate his way out. These are all small mice and they just ate a hole in the trap. Obviously worthless.

Mouse loved it

Put it in the drawer last night, got up this morning and it had caught something.To Bad the trap isn’t chew proof.

Doesn’t work

The mouse kept eating the bait without getting trapped. This happened repeatedly. Bought another trap and the mouse was caught in less than 12 hours

Two weeks no catch

I bought this 2 weeks ago and have put different bait, moved it around...the first time the food was taken with no mice. Last night food was taken again, trap closed still no mice.

Useful but smart mice might escape

I bought 2 of these over a year ago and they solved my mouse problem at that time. However pulling them back out for a new mouse problem and the mouse I catch gets free on the way to be released...

Live catch

I purchased this trap yesterday and set it last night. When I checked it this morning, the trap was empty. It trapped the mouse but the mouse had chewed thru the end where the bait was placed in less than 5 hours..

Consistently fails at holding mice

I bough two. The trap attracts mice fine, but one ended up chewing through the bottom and the other clearly didn’t have a hard time pushing open the door. They sat overnight, both empty bait trays, both empty traps. Useless. Better chance at using a bucket and hope they just climb in and fall.

Does not work

The trap is easy to set up. However, the trap either does not hold the mouse or sets off to easily and does not catch the mouse. After using it for a week every night the trap goes off and has never contained the mouse.

3 out of 4 traps failed

i bought 4 traps, set up first two overnite. the next morning one trap caught a mouse, the other trap had been tripped but was empty, turning it over revealed that the mouse chewed a hole in the bottom near the front door and got out. i placed a third trap. the next morning, the trap was tripped but no mouse inside because once again, it chewed a hole in the same spot. i placed the fourth trap. after two nites, it finally tripped, this time it was again empty but no chew holes, so i am gue...

Not for small mice

After seeing a mouse in the laundry room, I baited my Tomcat Live Catch Mouse Trap with peanut butter - and pieces of peanut stuck in the peanut butter. When I checked the trap the first time, two of of the peanut pieces were gone but the trap had not closed. A week later after I found a dead mouse elsewhere (courtesy of cat/dog), I checked the still-open Tomcat Live Catch Mouse Trap and saw that ALL of the peanut butter was gone. The design seems perfect for humane catch & release of mice - he...

Great Solution For No Kill

What a clever design! Decided to try this trap after our cats brought a live mouse into the house. It was very easy to bait with peanut butter and set, and the mouse entered the trap within an hour. It was securely trapped, but easy to release without having to handle the mouse. I really hated the thought of having to kill a mouse and this is a great solution. It's also safe for pets if they play with it. I love that it's so easy, sturdy and reuseable. We live in a very mouse-prone area and our ...

It looks like it will work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really can't give this a fair rating because I didn't catch anything.

Product does not work

This trap was easy to set up, but did not trap the mice. I set up the trap three times using peanut butter. The trap was triggered each time, all the peanut butter was eaten, but it didn't trap the mouse.

So thankful I didn't have to kill them!

The last time we had mice we put out the snap traps, which work great, don't get me wrong, mice are gross and dangerous. But this time around we put the snap traps out and the bait was eaten, but the trap never snapped. After putting out the live catch traps we found out why, they were too small to set it off. We put out two traps and caught in one day 6 mice. The traps were great. They were so simple to set up, I squished some Reese cups pieces on the bait end and boy did those mice love tha...

Great way to live catch mice.
