    A Better Mouse Trap

    By Steven on 07/30/2012

    Verified Purchase

    Worked perfectly the first night. A little peanut butter in the middle and we had him. In the morning, I was able to remove the perfectly healthy and unharmed mouse from the house and release it with no physical contact.

    Best safe outdoor trap.

    By Chuck on 11/10/2013

    I keep three of these outside around my house. It could not work better. Mice go into the trap, eat the bait, starve, die and become bait. When I empty them out in the spring they are full of mouse bones and a little fur. Too many mice to count. One in my woodpile. One under the front and back stairs to porches. No odor until you open them to empty them. I would be checking wire snap traps daily. I just empty these and add bait twice a year, spring and fall.

    Working So Far

    By Donna on 12/11/2016

    In the two weeks since we've placed two traps in the basement, we've caught three mice. I know there are more down there, so I'm hoping we trap more. It's a big area, so I may purchase two more traps. I had been using traps that killed them, but I felt horrible about that. I'm much more content to drive these little creatures to the woods and set them free.

    Tin Cat Mouse Trap

    By Tom on 10/28/2014

    Verified Purchase

    Haven't caught anything yet. Maybe I put too much peanut butter in there. The entrance ramps seem a little too stiff for a light weight mouse to enter. It is still out in the garage next to the bags of sunflower seeds I use to feed the birds. Not sure what else to do.

    Worked within a couple of days

    By Gary on 05/09/2014

    Verified Purchase

    Worked within a couple of days to catch mice around garden fountain. Used peanut butter as bait since I have dogs. Worked as promised, only had a problem the first day with squirrels opening the top cover to get to the bait so I installed a sheet metal screw in front to secure it.

    Best trap Ever!

    By Sherri on 09/03/2012

    Verified Purchase

    I have been trying to catch a couple of mice that found their way inside via the doggie door. After giving up on the have a hart trap after 2 months, I bought three if these traps. They are great! I caught 2 adult mice and a baby mouse within a week. The traps are easy to use - no setup - and it was easy to let the mice out after I took them a couple of miles away from the house. I would recommend to anyone.

    Victor Tin Cat

    By Verna on 10/14/2012

    These are great. I bait them with peanut butter and oatmeal mixed together to catch as many mice as fast as I can. I have also sent many friends your way. I've caught as many many as 10 mouse in a trap in one night. I do recommend removing the mice after each night though.

    darn good trap

    By Vernon on 12/16/2012

    Verified Purchase

    I have had experience with this trap before but not the model with a see-thru lid. Every bit as efficient as the older model but a lot easier to check.

    Victor Tin Cat Mouse Trap M308

    By Ann on 02/18/2013

    Verified Purchase

    I ordered this trap a month ago. Mice love it! They come in, eat, and then leave. In one month, I have caught and released one mouse (and, apparently, fed a bunch more). I believe the one I caught just had not had time to finish his meal before leaving. Perhaps my trap is defective: a very small crack at the inside top of both ramps may be the way the mice get back out (do they reach up and pull the ramp down?). But no way for me to fix this. Bottom line: as a humane trap, THIS TRAP DOES NOT WORK. Note: I DO NOT want to use glue strips - very inhumane

    These don't work

    By Amy on 01/04/2020

    I bought two of these and I've had the same problem as others on here. Mouse gets in and then gets out. Disappointed in these traps. Will not buy again.

    Mice Not flying anywhere

    By Phil on 01/04/2013

    I work at an airport and we are responsible for taking care of the rodent problems for the airlines and other tenants. Only trick is we have to catch them live and release them out in a field. This trap has not failed once. If we get a report of a rodent problem within two days of setting the trap we have eradicated the problem. I think what makes this trap so successful is the pivot pad. Once they go off that other side of the paddle there done. And the window on top is nice to easily confirm a catch. The mice at THIS airport aren't flying anywhere!

    Good for only stupid mouse

    By Ac on 01/24/2012

    Verified Purchase

    The mouse in my house would enter the opening but then step out as if it knew what would happen if it went in. I had to use the glue pad instead and that actually worked. Safe yourself a ton of money by buying glue pads rather than this junk.

    This truly IS a better mousetrap!

    By Brunnhilde on 04/27/2015

    Verified Purchase

    Great product. The first couple of days it didn't trap a single mouse--maybe they were 'checking it out.' But then the trapping began, and every day the trap catches a few. I live in the country, and the recent severe winters have encouraged an increase in mice seeking warmth inside the house, but this trap is taking care of the problem.

    Humane and Easy to Use

    By Randy on 10/14/2022

    We cannot deal with kill traps or sticky pads. We do not use poisons because of our pets. And while mice can be destructive, but hawks and foxes have to eat as well. We had a mouse infestation in our parked RV. That is bad enough, but you do not want is to have a mouse or other such animal die somewhere where it cannot be found. I had used the Victor Tin Cat in my garage in the past so know they were effective and easy to use. I put two in a compartment where I knew they frequented and caught three the first day. I like this version with the clear lid since you do not have to open to see if there are mice in it. I took them down a steep, twisty, back country canyon road, well away from our home- about .7 or .8 miles. Three days in a row I caught three mice. I then took them about 5 miles away and in three weeks after that I only caught one mouse. Their homing ability is astounding. Good price. Fast shipping, and an effective and humane trap.

    mice eat and run

    By Paul on 09/06/2020

    Traps worked for a while until the mice figured out how to get out. Then they just became a feeding station

    These humane traps work perfectly

    By Sandy on 07/07/2020

    It takes a little patience, but it's worth it. When I had a mouse problem in my kitchen, I used two of these & I would typically catch one or two mice each night & relocate them to a nearby parkette. After a couple weeks, I would only catch one or two every few days & finally they disappeared altogether. I don't know for certain if they survived in their new environment, but I would put out a little food & water for them in their new surroundings to give them a headstart, & then they were on their own.

    Victor Tin Cat Mouse Trap M308

    By Pam on 03/27/2023

    I baited these traps with peanut butter. The next morning it was obvious the peanut butter had been eaten, but the mouse/mice were able to get back out of the trap. I love the concept of this trap, love the clear top to see in and love that it's humane. But seriously disappointed that it didn't work :(

    Not very good.

    By Joe on 11/22/2019

    I've had these (4) up for over a week. I've baited them with different items and have trapped zero mice. I can see evidence of mice in my home. Very good construction. Make sure ramps float freely. I'll give it another try with some other bait and see what happens.

    very smart mice...

    By Mtanne on 02/09/2018

    I've only caught one mouse but the trap has been used a few times by clever mice that can get in and get out after dining. I've only had the trap for a couple of weeks so I'm not giving up yet. My hope is the mice will get a little fatter and not be able to escape.
