[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually get a mouse or two during the winter months. I normally buy the cheap wooden ones but they usually have to be tweaked before they work right. I wanted something that actually worked good out of the package. These traps were very sensitive and easily set off. The first night using it I had caught two mice and then one more the next night. It is super easy to reset and get rid of the dead mice. I highly recommend these over any traps that I have ever used.

I bought this two days ago. there was a mouse that had dashed into the bedroom twice in one night. (hopefully not two mice!) I had the property manager out the next morning and they set two traps. A wooden old style baited with peanut butter and a closed baited box. I could only guess at the placement because the mouse was so fast I could not cross the room to watch it exit into the hall. After the first night with no result, I purchased two Tomcat brand snap traps. They are really nice. Extremely easy to set. The Tomcats I placed were set with no bait. I bought them to cover more possible areas and held out little hope. With four traps in the area, I was first alerted by the Tomcat thumping in the utility closet. Followed by a few seconds of the trap (apparently) rapidly popping up and down on the wood floor. Then Silence! I went to the hall, and checked the traps. The one in the closet where I had placed it a few inches away from the wall had a dead mouse in it. I did not put it facing the wall. I had placed it in the path toward the space under the door into the hall. The head of the mouse was in the trap. (photo included) NO bait except the yellow plastic "cheese" trigger plate! Pics done, picked up the trap and unceremoniously carried it to the dumpster and let the trophy drop with a simple pinch of the trap. (For purposes of concealing the nature of my trip to the dumpster, I covered the trap and mouse with a washcloth. Didn't want to alarm the neighbors!) I have reset the trap and switched it out with the other new Tomcat that I moved into the closet with the original baited box trap from the property manager. My sincere thanks for the quick and reliable action of the Tomcat!

[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 instead of the recommended attractant gel. Although I feel much more comfortable using this trap, I've had it set for over a week and have yet to catch a mouse. Maybe I just don't have mice at this time!

[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 with. I set it again and a couple days later I caught another mouse. This time We we're in the basement watching a movie & I actually heard the trap snap closed. I get up from the couch to check it & I see the trap was gone! I assumed it maybe bounced out of view when it snapped closed. As I'm looking around I heard something crashing around under the chair! It sounds like it's fighting something. I cautiously get down with my head essentially on the floor & to my HORROR I see a mouse sitting there with it's front leg caught in the trap but otherwise perfectly ALIVE! I had to suit of with latex gloves and figure out how to free this poor thing without getting bitten or giving the little guy a heart attack. I was eventually able to free him and trap him inside a cardboard box, but it was NOT FUN! What exactly are you supposed to do with a boxed up mouse in the middle of January??? I wasn't going to Jill him with my bare hands & if I put him out the door he will just come right back in. All the water outside is frozen solid since it's -7 degrees out, so. Irving for him ti drink. There's no food if I relocate him to a place too far from his winter stash and he is missing toes on one foot so he's handicapped now. I can't kill a disabled mouse?!? I now had a huge moral dilemma I hadn't expected by using this trap. I ended up turning the box into a little mouse house for him. I cut a little mouse sized door in the side of the box and I put some dryer lint in there to keep him warm. I also put some seeds, nuts, and some dried fruit in his box and drove him down the street near a creek where he could get to some water that wasn't a block of ice. I opened his door and he walked out. I apologized for maiming him and wished him well. Hopefully he made it.

I have set 6 in one room. But it works half of the time. I was awakened by one at 5 in the morning thinking the mouse was dead. I am looking at the the closed trap with the mouse inside and it is squeaking at me. Other times, the trap works perfectly. I watched the mouse DRAG the trap acrossed the room trying to get out.

I bought four of these traps and set them up in an area with evidence of heavy mouse activity. Imagine my disappointment when two of them didn't even spring after multiple attempts--despite the fact that the bait had been partially or completely eaten. This morning I woke up and found mouse droppings INSIDE one of the unsprung traps (see exhibit A below). As far as I'm concerned, these only provide a safe, cozy little cafe where the mice can eat a free dinner. Fifty percent performance rate? That's a failing score, Tomcat.

I purchased a two pack of these traps, and one worked once or twice and then I was unable to set it. The second one worked maybe a couple of more times, and now I am unable to set it. I even went online to make sure I was following the directions, did exactly like it says, but it will not lock in the open position, no matter what I do.
