Protecting your home and family from mice just got easier with the Tomcat® Kill & Contain® Mouse Trap. This mouse trap's covered design kills and contains the mouse, so you never have to see or touch a dead mouse again. You read right–you do not have to see the mouse to know it has been caught. In addition, the trap is great for tight spaces and sets with just one touch. To use, open the bait door located on back of trap and place Tomcat® Attractant Gel (sold separately) or other food such as peanut butter or cheese in the bait well. Then, close the bait door and set trap by pressing the arm on the side of the trap. We recommend placing two Kill & Contain® Mouse Traps 5 to 10 feet apart in areas where mouse activity has been noticed or suspected, like near refrigerators, stoves, and pantries, between washers and dryers, and along baseboards. Check the traps frequently. When the indicator points to "Mouse Caught," the mouse has been captured. Simply use grab tab to dispose of entire trap. This package of Tomcat® Kill & Contain® Mouse Trap contains 2 disposable mouse traps.

Title: just the thing!
Review: We discovered that there was a mouse lurking in our baseboards so when I told my daughter she recommended this trap. She promised that it worked well for her, so I ordered a set of 2.The first night, we set one up with peanut butter as bait...and first thing the next day we found that we had caught the mouse!That was enough to convince me.I set up the 2nd trap, but it's been several days now and still no more mice...so I'm assuming it was only the one? If that is the case, then I think we can safely assume the trap has done its job. I will keep the 2nd one handy...just in case we find any more signs that there is a 2nd rodent hiding in our walls... (?)FIVE STARS*****

Title: Recommended for homes with pets (especially those with cats that aren't holding up their end of the bargain)
Review: Unfortunately I've had change my rating of these traps because of the new design. You can read my previous 4 star review below for the old design. The new style no longer has a clear path to the bait and I feel as though this has significantly reduced it's effectiveness. The mice are forced to climb a ramp inside the trap and cannot see the bait from the opening. I have not caught a single mouse with the new traps. (3 weeks of testing) There has been droppings in the entrance so the trap has at least been investigated by the mice, but no kills. There are older traps set in the same area which are still catching mice. Although I don't know for sure since it's never been set off, but I have a feeling that reusing the traps with the new design would be significantly more difficult as well.Outdated review of previous design: These work surprisingly well. I ordered them to be able to place traps where my pets might come into contact with them. I was able to catch 5 mice in less that 24 hours (obviously I had a serious mouse problem). Recently I found that I hadn't caught any mice in a few days so I checked the bait door only to find that all of the peanut butter had been cleaned out. I do feel like these traps are fairly sensitive and I can only imagine that it must have been a very tiny mouse to not set off the trap and successfully consume the bait.I do like how simple and safe these traps are to set. You can re-set these traps, and I personally think that it is worth the effort. It may not be as easy as just pushing the lever down and shaking out the expired mouse..... I've had the pull them out by the tail, but as I said, worth the effort.

Title: THE TOMCAT WORKS!!!
Review: I have lived in my home for 20 years & never seen a mouse in it. I had found dead remains in my yard where my dogs had stopped them before they could make it inside. Well, this year a mamma mouse had 2 babies in a crate on my front porch before my dogs noticed her. Sadly, the 2 babies thought they belonged here. One moved inside while the other liked living on my porch. Of course, I didn't care for the additional mouths to feed & I started my research on the best way to eliminate my problem. A friend had had limited success using the Tomcat trap so I started my research there. I also checked out vids on youtube so I could see for myself the most effective way to use them.The thought of using a regular old timey mouse trap bothered me cuz I would have to look at the dead mouse in the trap. Yes, I understand thsat is the purpose of the trap & I did want my mice dead...I just didn't want to look at their dead little bodies. After watching several yt vids on the Tomcat, I decided that is where I'd start. IF they didn't work as well as expected, I could always start over in my research.My indoor buddy hid in my bathroom closet & would run down the wall to the tub then turn to run down the side of the tub. I loaded & used my first Tomcat in the corner where it usually made its first turn. To my horror the next morning, that little vermin ran down the wall to the Tomcat, jumped on top of it & turned to run down the side of the tub. I was at a loss as to why it didn't go after the food inside. Guess it felt insulted by my failed attempt & it quickly moved into my bedroom. I had an unopened bag of chocolate candy on my night stand & it helped itself to some of it. That was my ah-ha moment. So,I get the Tomcat from the bathroom & dump the bait I had used. I refilled the bait area with the chocolate pieces it had attempted to steal & sat the Tomcat on my night stand. Nothing happened during the night; but while I was out to lunch later in the day, I come home with the trap tripped. Peek inside & all I see is a tiny little mouse tail hanging down..A day or so later I return home to find the outside mouse sitting in my dog's food bowl. Since the Tomcat comes with 2 to a box, I took out the second one & loaded it with pieces of chocolate & set it to ready, placing it near my dog's bowl.Next morning that trap had also been tripped. Once again I peek in & see nothing but a tiny little tail hanging in sight. Both were tossed into my garbage can as it was trash day. Now I have NO more mice invading my space. I can now say that the Tomcat works as long as you find bait that your mouse is tempted to go after. Peanut butter didn't work for me but freshly broken chocolate did attract them within 12-18 hours.This trap works wonderfully once you find out what will tempt your unwanted guest. As a plus for us squeamish females, I never had to look at the dead critter...just its limp little tail. With the handle on top, I didn't have to worry about touching the nasty little critter either!!!I have been so pleased with the outcome that I've ordered another box of 2 traps just in case my 2 critters had some friends I haven't seen yet!!! At the current price for 2 traps, it only costs me $3.50-4.00 per mouse & I find it worth the price & just toss the trap in place of trying to empty & reuse. For me the real reason for using the Tomcat was that I never had to see the limp little body & I achieved that!!! I hope I never have to use the traps I just ordered; however, I'm ready if I'm wrong!!!

Title: Pretty much works
Review: Have used a bunch of these and usually they work well, occasionally the mouse gets away or opens the bait door. It seems like once they've been set off a couple of times, they don't really work anymore, so I consider them disposable, though I know some empty them out and used them multiple times. When they work, they're great, but the cost per mouse is somewhat high. A couple of years ago when 2 packs were under eight bucks, they were a better value.
