Mouse Traps (Wooden), 4 Pack | Disposable Non-Chemical Mouse Trap for Homes, Garages and Basements

I have had quite a few different design mouse traps over the years. This one works! It has a hair trigger, so the slightest attempt by that critter to take the cheese and he's done for. These are good quality for a low price. They set easily if you aren't ham fisted. I like the bait paddle design as it holds the bait well making the little guy work for it, which you want. So far I haven't seen any bait eaten without a catch. Pro tip: try using store brand Velveeta as bait. It really sticks to the paddle. Of course, if you're feeling boojey by all means use the name brand.

I find the key to catching mice with a snap type trap is to have a very sensitive trip plate on the trap so that very light pressure on the trip plate springs the trap otherwise you will end up just feeding the mice. Victor traps many years ago for some reason switched their bar catch from tripping from the front of the trip bar to the side of the bar. I was never able to consistently set a light enough pressure with this setup resulting in too high a percentage of the bait eaten off the trap without tripping it. This Tomcat trips trip like the old Victors did resulting in a high percentage of successful trips for me. I like to set my traps so sensitive that they will occasionally trip even when just setting the trap in place. I find that sanding or using a very fine file around the round edge on the very end of the trip bar gets rid of any invisible burrs that may catch that otherwise could prevent the trap from springing. Be careful your fingers are never in the way of the kill bar when setting the trap. I find peanut butter makes a great bait, it is cheap, sticks to the trip plate, and mice really go for it.

They function well, I respect the large trigger.

These work fine. The mice were much more attracted to the plastic traps i bought with the jagged teeth. One of these wooden traps failed to go off and the dang mouse took my bait. The plastic traps attracted more mice and worked 100% of the time.

The small mouse in my room was killed today finally after about 2 weeks trying with rodent repellant, traps etc. without success. This Tomcat Wooden Mouse Trap was easy to setup with just a small piece of sweet sponge cake

the plastuc preasure plates suck. if u can buy ones with metal preasure plates and use thread to secure bait to the trigger plate. they have good springs though. ima cut the sides of the trigger pads and make them skinnier and more sensative.

I tried glue traps, and “snap traps” made of plastic. They work sometimes, but usually break. And the glue traps get tall dusty and dirty, and become useless. These old school traps are simply the best way to go if you think you have mice. Yeah, they are a bit tricky to set, and sometimes your finger gets snapped, but it’s never caused me anything more than a jump scare 😂 I set these and sleep peacefully knowing that if a mouse makes his/her way into my home, they will not live long. I only need them in my garage since I have a cat inside. She patrols and has caught a few over the years, but she isn’t allowed in the garage. Anyway, this is the cheapest, most effective way to catch and kill mice. Waste money on other stuff if you want, but this is what you need.

Because I am so traumatized I wish I could give it 0 stars. The other night we set the trap put peanut butter in it and went to bed. Around 11:30 we heard the trap snap. Went and checked it and the mouse was still breathing even though it was in the "perfect" position. I thought maybe it was its nerves or something 5 minutes later it is flipping and flopping around in the trap. My husband needed to take it outside and take care of it. I immediately unset the other two we had set up because I cannot do that again.

Die Fallen sind absolut zuverlässig.
