The cheaper versions with the small metal tab do not work as reliably as these with the plastic tab. Definite mouse killer.

This version of mouse traps is a little more sensitive than the old ones with metal triggers. The trigger plate is bigger, and the bait (I always use a tiny amount of peanut butter) is put in the little well, so a mouse probably has to really stretch it's neck and body to reach the food, which makes it easier to trigger the clamp. Although I haven't done quantitative comparison between the old and new versions, I do find the new traps are easier to set up and triggers easier. The mice population in my basement and attic dropped a lot in the last two years partly because of other home improvement measures including fixing the gaps of soffit vents and foundation. So, I still have a lot of these traps sitting in my basement, unused. I tried some traps outside around my foundation, a few mice did get trapped. Just shoved them up and dumped into trash.

I purchased these traps to catch the mice that come into my garage during the winter months here in Northern Ohio. I had problems in the past where the mice had gotten up into one of my vehicles and had nested, chewed through the leather back seat and had babies. I purchased these traps, put peanut butter on them and BINGO! three mice the very first night. I have four traps set and last week we had a cold spell and the trap caught another mouse.

These traps are not particularly well made, but they do catch the mice that are eating bird seed in my garage! The setting mechanisms on the traps are all slightly different and require some fiddling to get them to stay set. However, overall, the traps are easy to use and easy to empty after the mouse has been dispatched. The traps have enough pressure to kill the mouse instantly without being too much risk of snapping my fingers while setting them.

Easy to use, the trap is very effective and durable. I do not clean them, if and when I catch a mouse the mouse and trap both go in the trash. Product meets the description

These traps do what they were built to do...they catch mice and kill them quickly. We bought some traps by Vicktor(maybe mispelled) and they were both difficult to set as they often went off in your hand and yet not sensitive enough to go off when a mouse hits the trigger. We had several of those traps stripped of the bait but not set off.We live in the country and have a lot of mice trying to get in the house, we don't like to kill anything ...but mice in the house are a big no-no.Unfortunately, our local stores are now carrying Vicktor traps or the more expensive versions of the Tom Cat traps. These are what we want so we got them through Amazon.

The Tomcat Wooden Mouse Traps promise an inexpensive and effective solution for catching mice in the home. While they are generally successful in trapping mice, there are some shortcomings that make this a 3-star product.Construction and DesignThe wooden base and metal trigger mechanism are standard features in mouse traps of this kind. The construction is what you would expect for the price point—functional but not extraordinarily durable.EffectivenessThe traps do work; I was able to catch several mice over a month-long testing period. However, their effectiveness seemed to diminish with repeated use. The sensitivity of the trigger mechanism appeared to decrease over time, leading to a few near-misses.Pros: 1. Affordable: Definitely one of the more budget-friendly options on the market. 2. Easy to Set: The traps are straightforward to set up, requiring minimal effort. 3. Effective Initially: They do a decent job at catching mice during the first few uses.Cons: 1. Decreased Sensitivity: The traps tend to become less sensitive and effective with repeated use. 2. Limited Durability: The wooden base is prone to warping, particularly in humid conditions. 3. Single-Use Nature: Given their lack of durability, they’re practically single-use items.ComparisonCompared to other mouse traps like the Victor Metal Pedal Mouse Trap, the Tomcat traps are less durable but equally easy to set up. Victor traps maintained their sensitivity longer, making them a better long-term option despite a slightly higher cost.Usage ExperienceI used the Tomcat Mouse Traps in various locations around my home, including the kitchen and garage. While the traps did manage to catch mice, the diminishing effectiveness over repeated use was noticeable. After about a month, one of the traps also showed signs of warping, likely due to humidity.Final ThoughtsThe Tomcat Wooden Mouse Traps offer a budget-friendly but less durable option for those dealing with a minor mouse problem. They’re effective initially but lose their efficiency over time. If you’re looking for a short-term solution, these traps may suffice. However, for more persistent issues, investing in a more durable set of traps would be advisable.Thank you for reading this review. I hope it provides the information you need to make an informed purchasing decision.

Wooden traps do not instantly kill the mice unless it traps it perfectly over the neck and one of the traps fell apart after 2 times. Do NOT buy this product.
