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.

A 2000 lb bear couldn't trigger this trap, much less a 2 oz. mole. Waste of time & money. :o(

Best trap ever!

Caught both moles tearing up my yard in less than 4 hours using two traps. Easy to use. Moles don't stand a chance with me now!

It works

Would Recommend

Moles have been leaving trails in my front yard, so I decided to try one of these. I set it in one of their long, straight trails and waited. Two days later the trap was sprung. I pulled it out and had my first mole! The trap works as advertised. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the instructions need to be a little clearer about how to set the trap. You definitely need to cut slots in the soil to accommodate the trap's jaws. Instructions suggest you need to do this only in ha...

Got ‘Em!

Would Recommend

This trap is great. If you are not catching them, then you are not monitoring an active tunnel. The instructions are a little confusing; the trick is to flatten the tunnel with your heel and then cut slots across the tunnel with a spade to make room for the jaws. When the mole comes along and pushes the dirt up out of the way, they get caught in the jaws. A little gnarly but I bet it is a quick end at least.

One night, one mole

Would Recommend

Amazing results. 12 hours after setting, the mole was caught. This is a long term solution since it can be reused. No regrets on this purchase.

This is a super effective trap. I’ve gotten 2 moles in the first week of using it. I have recommended this product to a few friends.

Works Great!!!

Would Recommend

If you don't catch a mole, it's likely because you didn't follow the directions closely. It's all about finding the perfect location to place it. Find a active tunnel and place it over the tunnel. Before setting the trap, Watch YouTube videos and your set to go. I set my trap last night and caught a mole this morning. I was shocked!

Actually works!

Would Recommend

I have had 1 false trigger off this trap. Caught at least 7 moles. If its set up correctly it works every time. Find an active tunnel, Push down a 4" section, Cut 2 slots for the blades, one extra thumb push where the trigger goes, work the pedal/blade motion a few times to clear the path, set it, and forget it.

Success in under 24 hours

Would Recommend

After a few weeks of trying to chase a mole around (and out of) the yard with sprays and granules, this caught it in less than 24 hours. Just read the instructions carefully.

Highly recommended design online

Would Recommend

The design was highly recommended online for catching moles. I deployed it yet failed to find an active tunnel. Will continue to try.

The best I have found!

Would Recommend

I bought this trap as the moles were ripping my front yard apart. I set the trap and within 5 minutes I had my first catch. Needless to say I reset the trap in a different area and caught a second mole by the next morning. 4 days go by and 4 moles caught. I love it!

Works great

Would Recommend

Purchased this item this morning about 10am, it did take a bit to get it set up, but once set up two hours later had my first mole, moved it and reset it, thirty min later got second mole, needless to say I just reset it again. After trying all other methods of just running them off to no avail, it was time to just get rid of them and so far working like a dream.
