Tomcat Press 'N Set Mouse Trap, Plastic, Spring-Loaded Mouse Killer with Grab-Tab, 2 Traps

Why do the destructive little buggers have to be so stinking adorable??? Even dead as a door nail, as a horrifying amount of mice now are after only 36 hours of use of these traps in my garage. What do I love? Most importantly, their effectiveness. We had a dead mouse in 30 minutes after setting these up! The timeliness might be because of the attractant gel, but WHATEVER! The trap immediately did its job. Oh, and on the subject of effectiveness, the design is really great for actually quickly KILLING the rodents which is far more humane in my opinion. The bait and pressure pad are deep enough into the trap that it’s not going to accidentally just get an arm or a leg caught, leaving them in agony and you with the quandary of what to do with an injured, live mouse. They’re also rather substantial, so bigger rodents probably couldn’t carry it off if it was just stuck on their tail or limb. (Yes, it happens with traditional traps!) I’m also totally impressed with the ease of use. These are literally a snap to set up, just fill the bait area (we use the Tomcat Attractant Gel which is EPIC at attracting mice), push down the lever on the opposite side from the jaws part and it clicks into place, open and set to spring. Aside from how effective and easy these traps seem to be when paired with the attractant gel, the best part of this product for me is no SNAP anxiety! The pressure pad is clearly very responsive but it’s set back a bit in the device so placing the trap after setting isn’t traumatizing like it is with the old wooden and metal snap traps. I have been making my husband set and place our traps until now because the probability of the old traps triggering while setting up or placing them scared the heck out of me. These are easy as pie to release as well. Just push the little trigger thing on the back again and the dead pest is released so you can dispose, replenish the bait and reset without having to touch anything gross. I actually did it myself this evening without incident. Granted, I picked the full trap up with tongs, ran like a lunatic to the garbage, attempted to release the mouse with said tongs, failed, then reluctantly used my hands to click and release the mouse into the trash. Easy peasy, no yucky touchy! I then clicked it back to ready again, used my tongs to pick up and carry it since it was “locked and loaded” and I’m a big chicken, and I walked it back to the spot it had been before. I’m sure I looked like a wacko, but I’m telling you, for me to touch the trap AT ALL is a huge thing. I felt confident that I could trust these not to accidentally snap and harm (or scare) me after seeing my husband do it a few times without incident. (On that subject, I read several reviews saying they got limited use from the traps... we are a day and a half in and they have each probably gone off and been reset 3-5 times and they’re still going strong. At this price point, I was good with knowing they might only work a few times but have been pleasantly pleased to find that ours are operational again and again.) I’m feeling a mild twinge of remorse, as their cute little faces are all clearly quite surprised by the fatal SNAP and I know they’re just trying to eat and stay warm... but the amount of time it’s taking to clean up the mess they made out of my pantry and equipment storage shelves (they shredded a styrofoam block into a billion little pieces which got EVERYWHERE, not to mention chewing through packaging, eating and scattering my dry goods all over the shelves) makes me morbidly check the traps embarrassingly often hoping to see that another intruder is toast. Synopsis: These traps are completely awesome, buy without hesitation! I’m so glad we did. Oh, lastly, I couldn’t find the Tomcat Attractant Gel here on Amazon so we had to go get it at the local hardware store. Far better than peanut butter, cheese, etc. It’s well worth the time it takes to track that stuff down. It’s magic!!!!

Sorry, this is a book 🥴 Open, Bait(PB, quite a bit). Make sure the Black pressure plate is up. Snap. Place. Wait. What could be more simple? I have 8 set. I re-bait(PB) every 10/14 days. Just a bit of fresh on top. I checked mine 3 days ago. Reset ✓ Place. Wait..... Mine are viewable. Tic Tok Tic Tock Tic Tock BOOM🤯 🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭 7, gone in no way painful. That's 17 since the weather changed. Wash in soapy water. Refill with PB. Reset. Replace. Part of life. They carry disease, mites, fleas, etc. I've used these since they 1st showed on Amazon. I wouldn't use any other brand. They've never failed. I bought mine in 2013. I'm buying 8 more for $18+. Not sure how one reviewer said, "2, one and done". "Too expensive"? Be gentle with the trap pressure plate and catch. You must wash theses ocassionally, to keep the grime out and the trigger working. Especially with PB. I use a q-tip to place the PB in the well, but also put a good amount above. Not enough to weigh down the pressure plate though. I personally don't use the "Glue traps", due to their cruelty factor. I am a, Sr ER Vet Tech(24 yrs), and avoiding suffering is part of my job/soul. I don't like having to end the life of a mouse, but when you're in the middle of 280+ acres, surrounded by State Forest, well.... It's truly a no brianer. Plus, I'm feeding my local raptors. Every so often we see a Bob Cat too. This product is stellar, and I don't use that word lighty. Here, it's deserved! I toss the remnants in the same spot, as we have some Red Tail Hawks, and Owls. Both speicies has learned the routine. Especially the 2 Hawks. They sit on the telephone pole, and eat their pseudo catch/kill. I have some great photos. I caught one sitting on my front deck/porch railing once. Abosolutely a breath taking Red Hawk. We just looked at each other. I was definately blessed by Mother Nature that day. Not a week later, a Great Horned Owl landed on the line to sit at my barn. We have binocculars at every door and the barn. My barn cat drops them in a pile, so they go to the deceased mouse pile as well. I guess he thinks they're presents for me lol. I praise him at the pile. He's a great cat and never leaves the barn. That's his domain, and he's got it covered....along with the horses, whom he loves.😽♥️🐎 The Raptors and Owls have stayed wild, and I was told to give a couple weeks between replacing with more. They need to stay wild, which I knew. *It's a great way to feed, but FAR AWAY FOM YOUR HOUSE"! We have a trail camera set for the nocturnal creatures. I highlhy recommed these traps. I shared the above, to give some great ideas for use of deceaced mouse remnants. "Want Not. Waste Not". Every creature needs to eat. My Grand mother used to say that oftern. I've found listening to her is wise 🥰 A plethera of usefull knowledge. "Happy Thanksgiving" to all 🦃 I'm truly gratful for so many things!

They’ve finally done it. They made a better mousetrap. Setting the old wooden traps correctly was an art form. I’m no artist and I when I see my PB gone but no sign of the culprit, it’s annoying to say the least. Trip the trap, put PB back on, reset the trap and wait another night to see if I’ll be feeding another mouse or actually killing one. These traps are so foolproof to set and they way the cup holds the bait, it makes it virtually impossible for a mouse to get fed without getting dead. In fact, since I’ve been using these for about a week, I’ve had 6 mice shed their mortal coil and only one even managed to eat a noticeable amount of PB. I know they’re disposable but I reuse them. I’m sure most people do if they can stomach removing the mouse and any necessary cleaning of the trap. That brings me to my second point. I have not had to clean these traps at all yet. I’m sure eventually the PB will need to be replaced and I’ll clean them thoroughly at that time. They hit the mouse with a larger surface area which doesn’t tend to spill much blood etc. like the old wooden traps. Overall, an excellent mousetrap. I’m so glad I bought these and can stop playing Russian Roulette with the mice and those wooden traps. Easy, fast, effective and clean!

2 pièges à souris, dont 1 défectueux.

Simple and works

Ive had these traps less than 24 hours and have caught 2 mice so far. The traps are extremely durable and clearly hit with some force as they end up on their side once executed. If you are looking for humane this is not the product for you. Highly recommend

Good quality item. Easy to set up, did the job well.

Sorry, Jerry
