Bring back the old design
I used the same looking design from Ortho many times and caught many mice with it in short time after being set. Had a really easy trigger. Looks like that was bought by Tomcat and redesigned internally to make triggering more difficult. I have a video of a mouse I’m currently trying to catch. It runs inside, I hear a snap and he runs out with the trap remaining set. I thought I was getting the same trap when buying this one so I bought 4.
The Ortho model had a pressure plate that when the mouse stepped inside, it sprung the mouse up into some plastic ribs inside to kill it.
This appears to require the mouse to have a mouse college degree to operate. They have to wedge themselves down into the bait area pushing the trigger forward to activate. Even if it did, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t kill it and allow it time to chew it’s way out and add to its education to be more cautious of traps.

This mouse trap is really easy to bait. I used peanut butter. It has settings showing that the trap is not set - is set ( which is easy) - and then flips to “mouse caught”. You really can’t see that a mouse has been caught so the notice is is necessary. Trap has a small handle which makes disposal less unpleasant. I might be inclined to give this a five star rating after I catch my 2nd mouse.

Did Not work. Trigger did not catch mouse
I was very hopeful this product would work but did not. I set the mouse trap the night before and did everything the instructions said. I removed any food so the mouse is set exactly for the trap and placed peanut butter inside the trap. I woke up this morning hoping it worked, and instead just saw chewed up plastic and droppings around the trap, which was moved from the corner of under my sink towards the center, and droppings on the inside of the trap, but no mouse.

We're sorry that the Tomcat Kill and Contain Mouse trap didn't work as expected. Bait should only be put in the well on the bait door on the back. of the trap (opposite the entrance). If any bait is placed in the front (this is especially important for the new design) the mouse will likely not enter the trap to get the bait in the back at the bait door which is what is needed for the trap to be triggered. We would like to discuss our product guarantee with you, so at your convenience, please give us a call at 877.465.5160.

Worked the first time used
I wasn’t very optimistic but liked the idea of killing contain, so give it a shot. Placed a trap in the garage where I had seen some droppings. Next morning indicator was sprung and the trap weighed about 4g more than when it was set. No movement or sound from the trap so I assume the kill worked as expected. Only 4 stars because a different trap in another location showed a few new droppings but the mouse was not enticed inside. Will update in a few days if the little sucker comes back.

Tomcat Trap + Tomcat Bait = Useless
Not sure what the problem is here, but the mouse in my warehouse office seems to find this Tomcat product, filled with Tomcat bait, useful as a toilet. Unfortunately, I need it to be useful as a trap. Will be returning to the store and exploring other brands since Tomcat has given me a double failure.
Oh, and I see they like to spam 1-star reviews with: "Please contact us to discuss our product." I'll save you the time: make products that work.

We are sorry the Tomcat Kill N' Contain Mouse Trap did not control the mice as expected. We are not sure why the trap is not being triggered. The Kill N' Contain Mouse Trap was designed for a single use. If used multiple times, the spring will wear out and cause the trap to not operate properly. When using our bait, it will take at least 2 days for the rodent to die after eating the bait. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please call 877-220-3089 for assistance. When calling, please refer to this review.

Won’t trigger
The old trap worked like a charm, but these won’t trigger. In fact, the mouse chewed the plastic off the back, overturned it, and it still didn’t trigger. Not sure why you redesigned it

We are sorry that you are disappointed with your purchase of Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap. Make sure bait is only in the bait well of the bait door. If try to bait inside the back of the trap this can interfere with the trap being set. We want you to be confident in our products; therefore, we offer a product guarantee.

Stick Your Finger In, It's Safe
Did not catch a single mouse. In fact, saw one running out of the trap last night. I tried triggering the trap with a pop sickle stick and it wouldn't trigger. I thew it at the ground and it still didn't trigger.
The trap is pointless.
