Works around pets
Trap is easy to use and caught mouse. Have dogs, need to make sure poisoned dead mouse stays in trap.

Mice either too smart or too stupid for this.
Bought and baited as directed with peanut butter. Set at known site of mouse feeding. Mice were either too smart or too dumb. Found feces all around the trap, but trap was unsprung and bait untouched. Not satisfied.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap and appreciate your feedback. You may want to try different bait. Some possible baits include: peanut butter, a small piece of cheese, cheese whiz, soft candy, nutella spread, marshmallow spread, or Tomcat Mouse Attractant. You may also try changing location and/or angle/direction of trap. Please ensure there are not an easily accessible food sources (i.e. food in containers including dog and cat food and if possible removed from area with most mouse activity).

Poor excuse for a trap
Not sure about other Tomcat products, but the Kill and Contain Mouse Trap did not work. It caught a mouse (overnight), but by morning the mouse had chewed through the trap and escaped. Did not Kill or Contain. Do not buy this particular product. It should be metal, not cheap plastic.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap and appreciate your feedback. We are sorry the Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap did not control the mice as expected. We are not sure why the trap is not being triggered. Have you successfully caught a mouse with this same trap before? The Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap was designed for a single use. If used multiple times, the spring will wear out and cause the trap to not operate properly. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply.

Does not work. Don’t get rid of the black version
This item UPCs 695924835755 888603036066. Does not work. The old black color style that is flatter and has the that piece that pulls in opening after caught works super well. The white tall one does not. I have contacted the home CENTERs with negative reviews as well

Not working like they used to!
These used to work for us. But now we're having a different problem than others have. They have been catching mideast but never showing as "caught". We have to pick up the trap and see if it is heavier - sometimes there's a tail sticking out that I REALLY DON'T WANT TO SEE! If we don't check every day it starts to smell!

Unreal!
I've used this product before and it always caught mice...I just bought more recently and guess what .....the mouse chewed off the door and ate the peanut butter...

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap and appreciate your feedback. Here are a few tips that may resolve the concern with the Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap. -Make sure to only place bait in the bait well on the bait door at the back of the trap. If Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap is placed inside the entrance the mouse will typically eat that and move on without going inside the trap to get the bait in the back which is where it needs to go to be caught. You may want to try a different bait. Possible baits: Tomcat Mouse Attractant Gel, Peanut butter, piece of cheese, cheese whiz, soft candy, nutella spread, marshmallow spread. Try changing location and/or angle/direction of Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap. Make sure there are no easily accessible food sources (ie. food stored in containers including dog and cat food and if possible removed from the area with most mouse activity). If the mice are not hungry because they can get other food they will be less prone to go for the bait. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee.

I bought this a few days ago and the mouse tore the bait door off to get to the peanut butter.

Bad product, doesn't work
I bought this two weeks ago in a two pack. The first trap worked perfectly, overnight had a mouse. Went to set the second trap and waited 3 days knowing I had another mouse. It did not work! Mouse still in the garage. I'm optimistic, ok second trap was an anomaly, didn't work. I went and bought another two pack, both traps didn't work. After three days switched out the first one and try to test it, wouldn't snap. Put the second one out for three days and nothing so I tested it and it wouldn't snap. 3 out of 4 traps I purchased don't work. Mouse still in the garage.

Very pleased
Set two and both caught mice by following morning. I now see all these negative reviews but that was not my experience. Next time at store could not find them and the others I purchased never indicated a mouse was caught but the dead mouse smell made it evident. Will drive 30mi round trip to pick up a couple more.

Junk!
Should be a negative 5. Absolute junk. If the traps gets reset during movement to a new location, the mechanism breaks and the too expensive trap is useless! Never again

Pretty much worthless!
Set and trapped a mouse. Did not kill and it had almost chewed through. Droppings and urine leaking out.

Glue Trap Hit Every Time, these are worthless!
Just plain don’t work! Have visible activity. Glue traps in same location hit 100%. Over engineered junk. With glue boards at half the cost. Done with these.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap and appreciate your feedback. Bait should only be put in the well on the bait door on the back of the trap If any bait is placed in the front the mouse will likely not enter the trap to get the bait in the back at the bait door which is what is needed for the trap to be triggered. When bait is placed in the front and the back, the mouse will typically decide the bait in the front was what they smelled and move on. May want to try different bait. Try changing location and/or angle/direction of trap. Make sure there are no easily accessible food source. We want you to be confident in our products.

Complete Waste of Money!
I bought these a week ago. You can tell around and inside the mouse spent time. So all I did by buying these was supply the mouse with food.

Not effective
Bought two, they have been in place where mouse droppings are and have not caught any mice for 3 weeks. We used peanut butter. We did NOT put the bait in the front but in the bait container as directed. We got these because we have kids and needed a safer, cleaner alternative. Going to have to go with something different.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap and appreciate your feedback. Bait should only be put in the well on the bait door on the back of the trap (opposite the entrance). If any bait is placed in the front the mouse will likely not enter the trap to get the bait in the back at the bait door which is what is needed for the trap to be triggered. The mouse needs to go up inside the trap to get to the bait and trigger the trap. Mice will readily do this as long as it is not getting rewarded at the entrance. Try changing location and/or angle/direction of trap. Make sure there are no easily accessible food source, if the mice are not hungry, it is because they can get other food then will be less prone to go for bait.

Do not buy
I have purchased a few sets of these now and have not yielded any results despite my night vision cameras showing mice using them as full on jungle gyms. Mice will crawl in and out all throughout the night with zero repercussions. This product should be renamed to Tomcrap.

Newer design? Doesn’t work
Previous kill/containment design had worked fine for the occasional seasonal mice popping up. Why did that design get changed?? With this newer design the mice go in, have a snack from the bait trap at the back, and climb out again, tracking the peanut butter bait as they leave. Im trying the snap traps now, not happy I’ve spent money for these newer traps that don’t work.

Worthless -- Does Nothing
Bought eight of these, baited and set six per instructions, deployed for a week -- nothing. I set out glue traps next to them and got four mice in two days in the glue traps.

IT WORKS!!!
I found mouse droppings in my kitchen drawer, so I set this trap and bated it with peanut butter. I placed it under my sink where I suspected the mouse got in. The next morning, the trap had caught a mouse. I have cats, so I didn't want to put out poison and I hate the spring traps because sometimes it would catch a mouse and it was till alive! I don't know how this trap kills the mouse, but it's nice to just be able to throw it away and not have to see it.
