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.

useless product if you have rocky soil

Would Not Recommend

I bought it, but I cannot use it most places in my yard. I tried to clear a path through the rocks to the appropriate depth(4 Inches) and appropriate length (also 4 inches) but I could not set the trap, or even push down on the setting mechanism once it was in the ground. My old trap that punched holes in the mole was hard enough to find a place to set it, but this trap is more trouble than it is worth.

Works, but it's plastic!

Would Not Recommend

I'm having a terrible time with moles especially this year. I'm currently using granular repellent, solar powered vibration/sound makers, Grub-X, and this trap along with 2 other METAL traps. This trap has caught 3 moles for me this year - which is excellent, but if your ground is hard, the scissors on this trap will break as they are made of plastic. I had one of the scissor legs break on me couple weeks ago, which was after about 2 months of continuous usage. The ground was hard and I tried to...

Tomcat Mole trap

Would Recommend

I purchased this because I thought we had a huge problem with moles but it ended up being voles. The trap was easy to set and I was looking forward to see how well it worked to catch the critters! But it ended up being voles instead of moles so they were not getting trapped.

I bought this yesterday and can’t get it set using all my strength. The springs are so tight I can’t get it to budge. Taking it back.

No more moles

Would Recommend

I was so aggravated with the number of mounds of dirt in my yard! I tried everything poison, sound deterrents nothing worked. The Tom Cat ended my problem the very first night. It is easy to set up and safe for my pets. So stop searching and buy this Tom Cat now!

Catching moles

The product works just fine - it’s up to the trapper and the moles whether you catch them or not.

This Trap Works!!

Would Recommend

Take a little time to learn how it works, and learn your mole patterns. Watch some of the YouTube videos on how to set it. I set it up between two fresh mounds, over a tunnel, and on only my second attempt, it worked. Tip: I have thick turf and used a knife to cut deep slots into the turf for the trap's jaws, and did this without collapsing too much of the tunnel. You want the center of the trap directly over the collapsed tunnel section, as that is the trigger is. When he goes to fix his ...

CAUGHT THE UNDERMINER AND HIS BROTHER

Would Recommend

Not as easy to set up as the written instructions make it sound, probably best to watch an online video. However, this is a VERY EFFECTIVE trap! Purchased two traps barely had them set and in place before I caught my first mole! I caught two in the first 30 minutes. I have tried mole spray, pellets, other more traps and never had any luck. Now I am thinking about going into the "mole skin" business. Highly recommend it.

Tomcat Mole Trap works!

Would Recommend

My sister's front yard had mole problems ever since she moved into her home 19 years ago. This year we tried the Tomcat Mole Trap and it worked within 18 hours of setting it in the front yard. I moved the trap to another suspected location and within 12 hours, it struck again! We considered using poison "food" but we're glad we got this trap instead. There's no doubt if it is working or not and the results speak for themselves.
