Where & When to Use
- Where to Use: Use indoors or outdoors in garages, utility rooms, near appliances, and inside cabinets, anywhere you see rodent activity. For large infestations, place several traps throughout your home.
- Where Not to Use: Since this trap relies on food-based bait, avoid placing it directly next to pet food, garbage, or other competing food sources, which can reduce its effectiveness.
- When to Apply: The moment you see signs of a mouse, it’s time to set traps. Don’t wait for your rodent problem to get bigger.
- How Often to Apply: Check placed traps daily and dispose of any catch promptly; regular checks help avoid odor and keep bait fresh. If you haven’t caught a mouse in a few days, try moving the trap to a new location.
How To Use
- BAIT: Bait the trap by placing Tomcat Attractant Gel (sold separately) or a food bait like peanut butter in the bait well.
- SET: Press down on the trap until it clicks into the set position.
- PLACE: Place the trap where you've seen signs of mouse activity. The bait well should be perpendicular to the wall, with the bait facing the wall.
- DISPOSE: Once the mouse is killed, use the convenient grab tab to dispose of the trap. No need to touch the mouse.
Product Tips
- Place multiple traps 5-10 feet apart and target the areas in your home with the highest mouse activity.
- Limit competitive food sources by storing food, including dog and bird food, in sealed containers, and pair with Tomcat Attractant Gel for optimal results. A small, pea-sized amount of bait is enough; over-baiting can let a mouse feed without necessarily triggering the trap.
- Mice are naturally cautious around new objects, so it may take a day or two to see results in a high-traffic area.
- Wearing gloves while baiting and handling the trap can also help avoid leaving a human scent that may make mice wary.
Product Safety
- Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
- As with any spring-loaded trap, keep fingers clear of the trigger mechanism while setting it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Tomcat Press 'N Set Mouse Trap non-toxic?
Yes. The Tomcat Press 'N Set Mouse Trap is a non-toxic, mechanical trap. It uses no chemicals or poison, just a powerful spring-loaded mechanism to deliver quick-kill precision.
Do I need bait for the Tomcat Press 'N Set Mouse Trap?

Can I use the Tomcat Press 'N Set Mouse Trap outdoors?
Yes. The Tomcat Press 'N Set Mouse Trap can be used in many indoor and outdoor locations, including garages, utility rooms, near appliances, and inside cabinets.
What if I have a large mouse infestation?
For large infestations, use several Tomcat Press 'N Set Mouse Traps at once, spaced 5-10 feet apart, and target the areas of your home with the highest mouse activity for faster control.
Do I have to touch the mouse to dispose of the Tomcat Press 'N Set Mouse Trap?
No. Once the mouse is killed, use the convenient grab tab to dispose of the entire trap. No direct contact needed.
Why hasn't my Tomcat Press 'N Set Mouse Trap caught anything yet?
Check your bait amount and placement first. A small, pea-sized amount works best, since too much can let a mouse feed without triggering the trap. Also give it a day or two in a high-traffic area, since mice are naturally cautious around new objects at first.
How is the Tomcat Press 'N Set Mouse Trap different from a rodenticide bait station?
The Tomcat Press 'N Set Mouse Trap is a non-toxic, mechanical trap that kills with a spring-loaded strike, not a chemical. A bait station instead relies on a rodenticide which is a chemical substance designed specifically to kill mice and rats.
