These traps do not feature the metal component commonly used in traps. They can be challenging to set correctly, but once set, they function as intended. My wife lacks the ability to set them properly, and traps with the traditional metal component are available on Amazon. Consequently, I opted for this alternative.

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.

Works great. A bit fiddley to set, but not difficult once you get the hand of it.

This is one of those things you don’t like to have to buy, but when you do, you hope you can eliminate the need to use it as quickly as possible! These traps are standard “old school” mouse traps. The plastic bait area is nicer, however, than the older styles that have a small metal tab. These are relatively easy to set up and let do their things. You do need to make sure you use a bait that doesn’t simply come off the platform as there is a slim chance the trap won’t go off if the vermin doesn’t need to put any pressure. As note, these are reusable; however, they are also cheap enough that you can toss them with any trapped varmints and not worry about the cost.
Oh, Snap!

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 Design
The 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.
Effectiveness
The 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.
Comparison
Compared 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 Experience
I 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 Thoughts
The 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.

Ok. apparently not everyone is capable of setting mouse traps. THE PLASTIC CHEESE TRIGGER BOARD IS NOT WHERE YOU SET UP A BAFFET. Sset the bait behind the metal latch arm, where it sets into the Plastic Cheese Board above the spring. Just a dab of stiff peanut butter set firmly into the small knotches. Then a nice juicy Sunflower seed ( smaller ones like you get in bird food) Make sure the seed is firmly pushed into the peanut butter. You can also use Millet. If you put too much peanut butter the mice will just lick it clean, but when they sence the Sunflower seed they will try and grab it free. BAM!! These traps work great if you put them next to a wall and put a box to guide the little basturds into a slot canyon. look for dirty little trails they use the same trails over and over. After trapping them out, Clean the area with bleach and diinfectant so they don’t come back. They don’t like spray foam either, it screws up the highways and scents they follow. Basically they are blind. Nothing wrong with any product that has an animal name..Tom Cat, Bobcat, Tiger saw..Eager Beaver..Cat Here’s to you Jimmy of Sierra Madre CA

These have worked great, I baited all four of them with a little chunky peanut butter and set them down to do their work. Within an hour I had caught two mice and before I could even reset those traps I had caught another one. I’ve had them for about 2 weeks and I do believe I have caught all of the invaders. Very effective, and easier to set then the old fashioned ones they just had a little metal strip to put the bait on, the large piece of cheese shaped bait tray is easy to set, and hard for a mouse to forget.

These things really work. The peppermint spray was useless and the deterrent sounds wore off, but I set out 4 traps and caught 4 mice the first night, and they continued to perform the next few days until there were no mice left. They need to be carefully placed though, half the time the poor mouse was pinned by a broken spine and had to be personally dispatched with a rock.

I’ve been using these mouse traps for years. By far one of the best mouse traps I’ve ever used.
