What Customers Are Saying

The Tomcat Mole Trap is an effective solution for controlling moles, with many users reporting catching multiple moles quickly. The trap is praised for its simplicity and ability to indicate when a mole has been caught. However, some users found it difficult to set up properly, especially in harder or rocky soil, and a few reported the plastic components breaking. There were also concerns about the trap not always killing the mole instantly. Overall, the trap can be an effective and humane way to manage moles when used correctly, but may require some trial and error to master.

Best mole trap I’ve used

Would Recommend

This Tomcat Mole Trap is by far the most effective trap I’ve used. Granted, it takes a little effort to set up and use, but once you understand how to do it correctly, it’s simple to use and works great. This year alone I’ve caught 7 moles. The key to success, imho, is to allow free travel of the curved jaws on the trap. I do that by using a spade to pre cut slots for the jaws. Once you’ve done that, if you have it set in an active mole run, you’re pretty much guaranteed to get the pesky mole.

I followed instructions and have used it repeatedly without success. Sometimes it takes several attempts without tripping it.

Not what I expected

Would Not Recommend

I bought the traps based upon information they were safer than poison bait stations. We have a dog and our grandchildren play in our yard. The traps were delivered. Upon opening, the product said it was unsafe for use near pets or children. I returned the traps promptly to a local Lowe’s store. I was told I could only receive an in store credit, not a refund. All in all, not what I expected.

My neighbors wanted to know how I am catching the moles. I recommended your product as they tried other products and ways to try and get rid of them.

Great for a year, then the plastic snapped on 2

Would Not Recommend

Caught a couple moles with the two traps I bought. Then after only a year, two max the plastic snapped in the same places on both units within a week of week of each other. Not buying these again, going with a metal trap for replacement.

Works like a charm!!

Would Recommend

I put 2 mole traps out last night. Felt a little disappointed not seeing them tripped this morning but, went to lunch and came back to one of them tripped. Pulled it out of the ground and there was a big mole in it!!! These moles have been a thorn in my side, and destroying my yard. Thank you so much!!!

Seems ineffective.

I have been deploying the device for over a month in different mole trails. So far NO moles have been caught.

It does work but one broke in less than 3 months and it does a lot of damage to the yard trying to set it.

Do not buy

Would Not Recommend

I bought it and like a million other people I threw away my receipt because, I trusted this company. Boy was I a fool. It doesn't work, they push the tunnel right back up, and I have a video to show that it doesn't HOWEVER this site is not allowing me to post the video or my pictures showing that the trap will not close when I apply way more force than a mole does. Pure junk total waste of money. I was using my antique killer but I put it up cause its old as dirt. But at least it worked. Nop...
