Customer Reviews for Victor Tin Cat Mouse Trap M308

I ordered two Victor Tin Cat Mouse Trap live traps to get a family of field mice out of my garage! They worked quite well. The mice are gone - within a week I got all four of them. I sealed up a hole they were getting in - no evidence of any more. I liked that the traps gave me a "live catch" option.

I ordered the victor tin cat mouse trap to catch mice in our barn and the first 2 days I got nothing. I was using chopped up nuts as bait. I then switched to cat kibbles and that did the trick. We don't like to kill anything so we take the traps and empty them into a field about a mile away. I would recommend this trap as it is so easy to use.

These traps are the greatest I have seen. Mice just love them. I do, too since I do nothing but empty the mice. The only problem I have encountered is occasionally a mouse will get under one of the ramps and die there. It makes that ramp useless until you clean it out. The other ramp still catches mice.

Did the trick! Didn't have to set a trap and worry about my dog or cats getting caught in it by mistake. Put a couple of peanuts in it and the little mouse showed up. I felt better letting him go outside instead of killing him. Great product!

I had been struggling for months and months against an infestation of mice that had just kept on multiplying in my garage. I had tried all kinds of traps, poison, etc with hardly any success. I bought 3 Tin Cat Mouse traps and for the past several nights have been catching at least a dozen in each trap. I release them into a field about a mile from my house. What a difference I have noticed! Thanks so much!

I purchased these after an on-line search for humane mouse traps. My husband was skeptical and said they wouldn't work. But I believed the other reviewers that they would, and I was pleasantly surprised when they did! We used peanut butter as recommended and within a couple of days we had three mice in one trap and a day later another mouse showed up in a different one upstairs. The mice were released in a field down the street. The only challenge was that as the mice ran around in the trap trying to get out they dragged the peanut butter everywhere and made a bit of a mess. Thanks for the great traps--I like the humane option a lot better than the alternative!

We have woods all around our property and a barn across from it. A mouse wonderland! We placed one trap in the basement and one upstairs and they are GONE!We have recommended the victor tin cat mouse trap to everyone. Thanks for such a great product that actually does the job! There is absolutely no mess or guessing and totally humane.

This Victor Tin Cat mouse trap really works great! I've been having mouse problems on and off and tried the single live trap; which worked fine in the beginning. Had to try other methods that I will never do again. I like to relocate them not kill them. Searched on the Internet and found this trap.  A couple of nights and I caught two mice. I've had it two weeks and caught and released 7 mice. For me giving them another chance is the way to go! Thank you this is a great product that has no mechanism that the mouse can trap himself into. I think this one is the easiest and best trap so far!

I have been trying to catch 2 mice in the house since November. I tried a lot of things.  I got the Victor Tin Cat Mouse Trap.  In 3 days it caught the little varmints, THANK YOU so much. My cats had a good meal. Now for the mice out back. Now for the rats in the out building.

Great humane mouse trap! I had bought a cheaper version at walmart. It was plastic and hard to open and close. The Victor Tin Cat Mouse Trap is perfect! I can see if I have caught anythng through the see through top so no need to open it if nothing was caught. It is super easy to open and clean. It has air venting on the side and is easy to pick up and easy to place almost anywhere. It says it can hold up to 30 mice, but the most I have caught at one time is three and that was the first night. LOVE LOVE LOVE this humane trap

Thanks for following up!! This Victor Tin Cat Mouse Trap is so awesome. We had several field mice come in when the weather got cold and they were so cute I did not want to hurt them. We caught 12 of them with Peanut Butter and took them back out to the field. THANKS!

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.

I has great success with this trap. Caught 4 and released a few miles away in a field distant from houses. Trap is great as I can see in and it catches more than one at a time. The only trap I'll ever need.

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.

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.

Well, just want to comment that the trap is of high quality build, and looks as if it belongs in a garage. As soon as I received the trap (10-27-2010 Approx), I baited it with peanut butter in the holding area of the trap. I made sure I placed the appropriate amounts of peanut butter, by the vents located in the traps holding area, to aid in the distrubution of food scent, to help attract and capture mice(s). It took about 2 weeks to catch a mouse (one). I believe the mouse was caught during the night, and I had discovered the mouse in the trap the following day around 1645 hrs. I always check the trap daily. Obviously once the mouse had made its way in the holding area of the trap, it did not escape. I believe the trap is of a good design for that reason. Once they're in they stay in! I would strongly suggest one who buys this style of trap should spend the few extra bucks to get the one, such as I have, that includes the see through window in the release door. Reason being wild mice are straight up looney tooney crazy! If you have to open the non see through release door version to check if you have caught a mouse, the mouse will not have be caught for long! They will jump out like a lightning bolt out of the box! The see through release door version makes checking the trap, very fast, and the ability to possitively check of a capture without opening the release door. I have refreshed the bait, and replaced the trap in the same location. I haven't caught another mouse as of yet, 11-10-2010. I do know however if one finds its way in, it will stay in.

Mice were eating the bait, then leaving! Evidently they could reach up to the edge of the entrance ramp, pull it down, and exit! I created a metal extension that makes it impossible to reach the edge of the ramp. It's working!

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 :(

Guess the mice are too smart. Haven't caught one yet. Have it baited with peanut butter and salami.

Thank you for your feedback! Be sure that you have placed traps along runways where you have observed rodent activity. You can also use a glue trap on top of the trap in case mice are going over the top instead of into the trap. Please let us know if you have further questions!

Well built but mice do not seem interested in moving in with peanut butter bait that has worked in my snap traps. Will try Tomcat mouse bait gel next as its working in other "single seater" enclosure traps I have

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.

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.

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.

I bought this trap hoping to catch mice, without using the snap traps. Well the snap trap works. Ihad this for one month with no success.

Unfortunately the mouse was too big for Victor Tin Mouse Trap ????

I bought three traps to use at a house I'm trying to get ready to rent. The first day I used them, I caught only one mouse. However, since then I have noticed that the bait is getting eaten and the mice are escaping. I know that mice have been in there because of the droppings they've left behind. I have tried several things to prevent escape, including covering the air holes with screen and covering over any possible exits. Nothing has worked. The only possible excape route is back through the way they came in.

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

Mice that get trapped find a way out. This is a big gimmick

Did not work for me, baited or not. I watched them walk around it, sniff it and move on.
