Would RecommendThis is the second trap for me. I have a 100% Catch rate with this trap!!
Recommend this
Would RecommendI have been using this for this year and last year. It works great, got three mole in three days over the weekend. Really easy to be triggered. I had trouble setting it up when I first start using this, but later I learned the trick. Step on it hard until you hear a click, adjust the little tab with your hand a little, very slowly release your foot, you will be able to tell if it's set.
caught a mole within hours od setting trap
Would RecommendBought two of these today, Sunday August 26, 2018 around 5pm. Got home, read instructions a few times, set both traps. Checked them at 10:30pm and caught one. I guessed at what tunnels they may be using. This one was along the driveway so it looked like a main run. Reset and will check in the morning.
Great results!
Would RecommendPurchased the last one available at my local Lowes. We saw it had mixed reviews, but decided to try it. When I opened it, I could tell it had been used before and returned, it still had dirt on it. Set the trap the first afternoon and by morning had caught the first (of probably many) moles. Easy to use, set up in less than 5 minutes, and effective so far.
Surprisingly, this worked!
Would RecommendI caught my mole on the first night of setting this trap. I wasn't sure it was going to work, because when I opened the box at home, I could see this had already been used and returned… there was dirt and grass all over it. But I followed the instructions, including one from the online video that said to dig out two slots in the ground for the scissor claws using a flat shovel. When I stepped on the yellow pedal to set the trap, I made it go back and forth a few times before clicking it all the ...
doesn't SEEMS TO SET AND WORK WELL IN HEAVY CLAY SOILS
Easy to use and has yet to miss a mole. Everyone that has set it off has been caught.
FINALLY GOT THE MOLE
Would RecommendI’ve been trying to catch this little guy for months. I’ve tried the baits, poisons, water and the metal harpoon traps and nothing would work. I then bought the Tomcat Mole Trap. I set the trap the night I bought it, and the very next morning I GOT A MOLE! This thing is AMAZING. I wish I purchased this months ago. Easy to set and place. Highly recommend.
very had to set in place
Would Not Recommendit takes a offensive lineman to set the trap! however my neighbor bout a similar one and his was very esay to set up. After 2 weeks no luck Critters are still destroying my lawn.
This is a perfect mole trap!
Would RecommendIt is kind of hard to get the trap set - you have to make a dent in the dirt deep enough for the trigger to drop down far enough, but once it is set, it is fail proof. It has never failed me
Nope
Would Not RecommendIn ideal conditions, soft ground, dumb mole and perfect setting depth this might work. Otherwise, don’t bother. Best thing I found is the plastic cleans up nicely when you have to return it to the store. If your ground is hard, you destroy your yard worse than the mole does trying to set it. As an engineer, it is now my mission to design a mole trap that actual works.
Great Trap!!!
Would RecommendI've been battling mole problems for the past 18 years and purchased every mole trap on the market. When I saw this trap at Lowe's I decided to give it a try. This is by far the easiest trap to set with minimal yard damage. Make sure you follow the instructions and it won't let you down. I caught another mole with it today and hope no others return. I also use the Bayer Advanced Grubex to kill their food source. I highly recommend this product.
Mole trap by TomCat
Would RecommendThese mole traps are very good. Over the last three years I have killed 20 moles with these easy to use traps. Most positive way to kill a mole. You know you have him/her verses the poison. Once you open the trap again to pull the mole from the trap, a burial in the tunnel is a fitting end. I currently have three traps. When I see evidence of mole activity I go after the critter with all three traps.
Works great
Got rid of a mole tearing up my back yard within 30 minutes of getting it home
Waste of money.
Would Not RecommendI've bought two of these now,guess I'm just a slow learner, and after a few uses one of the pinches broke off. Same thing happened with both of them. Now I'm out $40 and still have moles/voles in the yard. Don't waste your money.
TOMCAT Mole Trap
Would RecommendWorks effectively, have gotten three moles with this product. A little hard to set but absolutely deadly when sprung by a mole.

A little too hard to set up. I was not heavy enough to step it into place.
