Tomcat Press 'N Set Mouse Trap for Indoor or Outdoor Use, Plastic Spring-Loaded Mouse Killer with Grab Tab, 2 Traps

My wife is nervous about mice in the garage, I am nervous about getting my finger snapped in a mouse trap that goes off on me instead of my intended target. After years of buying finger death traps and tense moments trying to get the trap set and in place without losing a digit in the process, I made the decision to switch to this product. Setting it is a breeze! Baiting the trap is simple with a large window for filling the bait well that is ample size for whatever you want to use. Once you are able to get it baited and set in the place you want it, simply compress the back end and it smoothly sets the jaws open and ready.My first successful trap was easily visible as if the jaws are in the open position, no mouse. As soon as you notice the jaws are shut, you know what happened. The mouse was firmly captured and there was no sign of struggle. I have tracked bloody traps across the garage floor to find where the partially caught mouse had drug the trap to try to reach safety. This trap was effective and deadly. Cleaning was easy as well. Just compress the back edge and drop the dead mouse into the trash and within a minute, you are back in business. Or rather, you are back in your house moving on with life with all of your fingers intact!Two thumbs up! (literally)

Easy to use. Works well, catches mice. Sturdy andceasybto reuse.

Spoiler alert: Roasted and salted almonds from costcoTwo mice and nothing has worked. About to buy a bucket trap like we used on our family's ranch way back when but bought these on a recommendation, still no go. Classic peanut butter got nothing. Organic peanut butter, nothing. Nutella, soda crackers, cashews, pistachios: nope nope nothing. About to give up I saw I had a container of roasted almonds I had bought on a whim, never really cared for them before. Set the trap laid the bait and sure enough, not even half an hour later, SNAP. Reset, replaced, two days later, SNAP. They always did Tom dirty, but Jerry deserves it, I can not tell you how satisfying that was. It's been a month and NO MORE MICE.The only caveat is that these traps don't last. There are two plastic pins that hinge the latch in place and under very heavy load from the spring. One trap caught two mice and after being reset and left for a few days one of the plastic pins broke. I can only assume having mice stuck in the traps for several hours under uneven spring tension caused deformation that weakened the joint leading to eventual failure. I have another trap set up which did not catch any mice and it's been perfectly fine for a month. HOWEVER, I still gave this five stars, worked better than any trap I've used and even if it was single use, it's worth every penny.

Easy to set,easy to reset , very effective.Set traps according to directions. The open jaw area faces a wall or box. Used soft dog treats that smell like bacon and are soft. Pushed into bait cup area.Placed second trap about 7 feet away.2 traps 2 dead mice everyday. Left in attic all night,check in am.I did put some adhesive double back tape , like ali_n tape on bottom of trap.Set it on 1/4 " thick soft packing material just to quiet down the operation. I believe it was quick and deadly,low mess, just hold over open bag and dispose by by pressing reset tab.I wear gloves to refill bait cup and handle traps.

I recently had an issue with some mice around the house. I tried a couple other options first and wasn't having much luck. I used this Tomcat Press n' Set Mouse Trap and quickly got positive results.I'm a paraplegic and don't have great motor skills, however, I had no issues baiting and setting these spring-loaded traps. This is a 2-pack and both traps set easily and worked within 24-hours. They did kill the mice, so if you're looking for a more humane option this may not be a first choice. However, to actually eliminate the problem they definitely work.I ended up having to go an additional route because I had a bit of an infestation, however, I am still happy with these and would easily use them again for one-off situations when I notice a mouse. These are plastic, however, I find them to be very durable and effective. I also really like the grab tab to help with disposal once the mouse is caught.Overall, these are effective and affordable and I would definitely buy them again.

I bought a bunch of glue traps, baited them, and not a thing so far. But then I bought 4 of these, baited them with both the recommended attractant gel and some peanut butter, and within a day, I heard a SNAP! The first one didn't kill the mouse right away, leaving it struggling in the trap for maybe 10 minutes before it died, which was disturbing. But it still did the job. I dumped the mouse, rebaited an reset it, and within 3 days, I'd caught 4 mice! (The other three were thankfully instant!)Don't waste your time on glue traps, which are both less effective and a lot less humane.These things are easy to set, easy to dispose of, reusable, and effective!
