Where & When to Use
Where to Use: Place along utility room walls, near appliances, inside cabinets, and in garages, anywhere you've seen mice or signs of activity. For best results, place 2 traps 5-10 feet apart and target high-activity areas such as near refrigerators, stoves, and pantries, between washers and dryers, and along baseboards.
Where Not to Use: Avoid placing directly next to pet food, garbage, or other competing food sources, which can reduce how well the bait draws mice to the trap.
When to Apply: As soon as you see a mouse or signs of one, it’s time to set a trap. Don’t wait for the problem to get bigger.
How Often to Apply: Check daily and refill bait as needed. Checking regularly, especially in warmer weather, helps avoid odor from a completed catch. If you haven’t caught a mouse in a few days, try moving the trap to a new location.
How To Use
- BAIT: Open the bait door on the back of the trap, apply a small amount of Tomcat Attractant Gel (sold separately) or peanut butter, and close the door.
- SET: Set the trap with one touch by pressing the set arm located on the side.
- PLACE: Place the trap where you see or suspect mouse activity.
- CHECK & DISPOSE: Check the trap frequently and refill bait or reset trap as needed. Once the easy-view indicator points to Mouse Caught, use the grab tab to immediately dispose of the entire trap. It's intended for single use only.
Product Tips
- Limit competitive food sources by storing food, including dog and bird food, in sealed containers, and keep garbage can lids tightly closed.
- Sealing up openings into your home helps stop new mice before they get in.
- A small, pea-sized amount of bait is all you need—over-baiting can let a mouse feed without fully triggering the trap.
- Wearing gloves while baiting and setting the trap can also help avoid leaving a human scent that may make mice cautious.
Product Safety
- Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
- This trap is intended for single use only. Immediately dispose of the entire trap once a mouse is caught.
- Keep fingers clear of the internal striking mechanism when setting or handling the trap.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need bait for the Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap?
Yes. Open the bait door on the back of the Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap, add a small amount of Tomcat Attractant Gel (sold separately) or peanut butter, and close the door before setting.
Will I have to see or touch the mouse with the Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap?
No. The Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap is fully enclosed, so it kills and keeps the mouse out of sight. You simply dispose of the entire trap without ever seeing or touching the dead mouse.
Can I reuse the Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap?
No. The Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap is intended for single use only. Once the easy-view indicator shows Mouse Caught, dispose of the entire trap immediately.
Where should I place the Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap?
Place it anywhere you've seen mice or signs of activity, including utility rooms, near appliances, inside cabinets, and garages. For best results, use at least 2 traps spaced 5-10 feet apart in high-activity areas.
Why isn't my Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap catching anything?
It's usually bait amount or placement. Use only a small, pea-sized amount of Tomcat Attractant Gel or peanut butter. Too much may allow a mouse to feed without triggering the trap and place it directly along the wall or path where you've seen activity, away from competing food sources like garbage or pet food.
How is a contained trap like the Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap different from a standard snap trap?
A standard snap trap leaves the catch visible, while the Tomcat Kill & Contain Mouse Trap fully encloses it, trading a quick visual check for a more sanitary, no-see disposal experience. Both use the same basic mechanical, chemical-free kill mechanism.
