What Customers Are Saying
Customers are sharply divided on these traps, with nearly equal numbers praising and criticizing them. Many report rapid results and appreciate the easy setup, no-touch disposal, and effective design when baited with peanut butter. However, an equally large group experiences consistent failures—traps that snap without catching anything, springs that break after one or two uses, or bait stolen without triggering the mechanism. Several note the retention piece pops off easily, rendering traps useless. Overall, reviewers remain split on reliability and durability.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Bought a 2 pack and one would not lock in place, the other worked but after catching a mouse now the 2ed one will not lock in place. Nice concept but not worth the money!

Doesn't work
Would Not RecommendI've had bait cleaned off 4x now, the trigger isn't triggering. I can literally hear the mouse/mice licking the bait off the traps at 2am.

Failure
The mice eat the peanut butter off the bait tab without going off. I did catch one mouse once . I have 3 of them and they just don’t work. I have baited them so many times. The last time I check them, the bait was gone and they were still set.

Build a Worser Mousetrap
Would Not RecommendI bought these because I figured they would be safer for my cat. However, they don't stay open most of the time. What was the point of manufacturing and selling these when the good old snap traps work better?

Traps Not Really Reusable
Would Not RecommendTraps are not reusable after I cleaned them. Same problem as others stated. Very frustrating to only have used them one time. One mouse left it's guts on the trap which was strange; the other two traps had peanut butter residue, so I had not choice but to clean them in warm water. It's inexplicable why the traps stop working. I've used the rat traps before and had no problem, but they are too big to catch mice.

Doesn’t work tiny house, barn mice or rats
Would Not RecommendSorry, too large for tiny house or field mice & not strong enough to catch or kill rats! They grab the bait & run out, does not snap on these tiny mice. I snapped my pinkyfinger in it, barely noticed it closed; except it was loud. Waste of time & money.

Does Not Work!!!
Would Not RecommendBought these and placed them exactly where we were seeing the mice traveling. Followed directions and did not place too much bait on the back of the yellow trigger. The next morning the bait was gone but the traps did not catch the mice. Tried again, with a little more bait and same thing happened. Tried again with different bait - bait gone yet again, but did not catch anything. Tried yet again, multiple times with different baits and amounts and each time bait was taken but no mice caught...

Terrible trap
I set the two traps twice with peanut butter and the mouse eat all the bait and the trap never tripped. I had old ones that worked great but after the year they fell apart so I bought new ones.. I went out and bought an electric one we’ll see how that works?
