TomcatRat Snap Trap, 1 Rat Size Trap - Reusable - Effectively Kill Rats - Ideal for Home and Farm Use

Great product after weeks of setting traps and glue pads nothing worked for the rat in my back patio got out of previous traps . Tried this trap first night killed the rat and problem solved .

After nearly a month trying everything and anything…got this today and IT WORKED within a few hours! So simple and so powerful. We heard it outside snap it was so loud. Would highly recommend to anyone with a rat issue!

Finally “caught” the MONSTER that ate not one but TWO serpentine belts in my car. I was livid when I found out that a rat or rats had chewed through my vehicles belt and was a pricey replacement. I put a few glue traps with zero success and then my Toyota started to act up and sure enough, another chewed belt. I was done, I was mad. I bought a bunch of wooden snap traps, put peanut butter and came out to ALL traps flipped over, no catch and all peanut butter gone. Before calling an exterminator, I decided to try this big boy snap trap. Put peanut butter and waited… and waited.. Then… I looked at my trap today and OH MY JESUS, I just saw the belly and thought I caught a cat until I saw the rat tail and screamed so loud. My husband had to do the dirty work but, let’s just say, the snap trap did the deed. Idk how badly you want to clean this trap and reuse it, but if your catch was the size of my house guest, just throw the whole thing away and buy another. 10/10 recommend, the king of the rats will not be returning to his castle, but I am ordering more incase his royal subjects try to visit.

When the Arctic Vortex hit Florida, several palm rats tried to get out of the cold by lifting my soffit to get into my garage attic. I'm really good at baiting these sprig traps and my wooden ones never get emptied without catching a rat. But this particular trap had a failure rate, so what I did was put two more out (same type, same brand) next to it, on both sides. I also put in a wifi camera to see how the rat was beating my efforts, when I put the other traps to the sides, when the first trap sprung, the rat jumped away into the second and third trap, one snapped onto his tail, and the other humanly snapped his spine. No suffering. While I'm not fond of rats, I prefer to humanely kill them, that's why I don't use glue traps, as they are evil when trying to catch mammals.Giving this four stars as this model doesn't work as well as others

works great and an awesome design. just push down at the back with your foot and it sets itselfI don't bother with bait, I just put it against the wall in a high traffic area and it works every time.only problem I've found with using it against chipmunks is sometimes it doesn't kill them, I've had it trap an arm and a head without killing the animal before. luckily they weren't able to run away with the trap but it's not nice to the animal

I'm having a rat problem - the kind that ignores most other traps and tend to be very skiddish. So I ordered four of these, just to get the overnight shipping. Baited it with cracked corn and some cookie pieces.The very first night - it actually had a kill about two hours after I put them out there.I love how they're re-useable. I got rid of the rat, re-baited it and let it be over night.Next day - two traps unaffected (No bait loss no kills, i probably have to move them), the same trap that had a kill scored another kill, and the fourth trap disappeared completely, with just larger paw prints around that area. I think that trap had a kill and a bigger predator took the kill and the trap with it..Three kills in the first night is far more progress than any of the other traps i've bought in a long time. What a win!

THIS IS AN UPDATE of my formerly glowing report on these traps:Am going back to the horrible old wooden based ones because THEY DO NOT BREAK like these Tomcat PLASTIC traps do!Got my first Tomcat Trap at a local store in 2021 - worked like a charm and STILL DOES!I decided to up my catch when the Rats BEGAN TO TRY and move in for winteR 21-22 So I got two MORE Tomcat Traps in Nov & BOTH ended up with BROKEN BAIT CUPS after snapping their first rat.OK - I worked around that by putting some peanut butter on the floor of the trap UNDER the trigger plate. It worked but was messy and required soaking and washing to get the old bait and goo off. Not a fun job but oh, well. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.I ordered one more Tomcat Rat TRap this fall and THAT TOO ENDED UP WITH A BROKEN BAIT CUP - yesterday - when it caught its first rat. Will take some fotos of the broken bait cup flange and post later.Why this is happening I have no clue. The first one from 2021 is just fine. The traps from here aren't. Maybe the mfg changed the plastic recipe? Knockoffs? Don't know... all I know is that when the rat gets caught one of the flange things that holds the bait cup in place when you twist it into the hole where it goes. The trap is constructed so that there is NO overtwisting possible so its not something I am doing.The result is that when you lift the trap to release the carcass the bait cup falls out because the flange has broken.SO - Like I said - back to the horrible old wooden based ones which NEVER BREAK.~~~This WAS my glowing report:Definitely catches rats. I'd post a foto of the carcasses mine have caught but that would be crude.A word of caution for new users: These are SUPER POWERFUL so if yu have a cat or dawg - put this trap behind some sort of screen or under something that the rats can get into but small noses and tiny fingers can't. I use an old oven rack propped up against the wall (which has a nail in it to keep it from falling) in the sun-porch and that does the trick.Oh, yeah - as with ALL rat Traps - attach a string or wire to them and anchor it to something else so on the very rare instance the rat isn't dispatched - the trap does not disappear along with a very pissed off rat.Note to the mfg: the little cup thingy for peanut butter works nicely but IF the trap is cold & bounces around in the process of doing it's job - the flange that holds the cup in place sometimes breaks and it's hard to remove and refill.That recently happened so I just put the peanut butter under the flap and in the back... SNAP! Worked like a charm.THE BEST THING ABOUT THESE TRAPS aside from their power is the step on feature - you just put the bait in and put the trap on the floor and step on the back and it is set. Works great in reverse too when you wan to remove the rat.
