Quiet and safe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All right, I’m not gonna lie. I had a fear of these because rat traps in general feel very aggressive. Super portable. There is a safety latch on this product. I use this product that a rental home that I had and it was super effective unfortunately, they are very prevalent in the area. The mechanism itself is sturdy and allows the trap to fully snap.

This thing is legit!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is legit. It is huuuge and very heavy duty. We live in the Midwest and during the winter we get little friends that try and come into the garage so this will be perfect! I will say you do not want to get your finger and hand caught in this. It will definitely hurt. It’s very easy to set up and remove anything that gets caught in it and then you can reset it.

Easy to use and sturdy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I set this up in my kitchen. We have the occasional rodent that likes to do whatever it wants in there sometime. It seems very sturdy and strong so I hope it does the job. It is very easy to set the trap and lay it out.

Excellent quality and works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very satisfied and quite impressed with this trap. This time of year is the worst for rats around my home. There's many citrus trees in my neighborhood dropping their fruit, and this brings out the rats. This trap was so easy to set up and very powerful. It worked great, and I definitely am planning to buy more. These are great quality and worth every penny.

Safe and good bang for your buck!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I added peanut butter like the instructions said. I followed all instructions, but couldn’t get the “teeth” part to stay open? I tried and tried but it didn’t work. I’ll check in a few days and see if anything was caught. (Maybe mine was defective or it was me that didn’t get it?) It seems safe because you step on the lever with your foot instead of with your hand. It’s a great price too! I received this product in exchange for my honest revie...

Sturdy and easy to set

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is very easy to set up and it has a good divot for the bait so your little critter would have to get all the way into the trap to get out the bait which is good but you do have to put down a good amount of pressure to set off the trap. I tested it with a plastic fork and you have to press down pretty hard so it may or may not go off every time. The packaging says it is one time use only/disposable and to throw out right away but you could ...

Good quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a really promising product. Great packaging, great trap.. better than normal traps. However, the ants ate the bait so I wasn’t able to catch anything. Otherwise, I like it and will buy more. You can’t control everything that happens.

Works as it should

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its a big mouse trap lol. It works good and their was not assembly required. The money for 1 trap is kinda crazy but if you have rats it's worth it. It is durable enough to catch a rat.

Make sure to place the trap in areas where rats ar

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This rat trap is super effective and easy to use — one touch to set it, and the grab-tab makes disposal clean. It does its job well, though some reviews say the snap isn’t always strong enough to kill instantly.

Quick, clean, and effective — the Tomcat Secure-Ki

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tomcat Secure-Kill Rat Trap is super effective and easy to use — it really does what it promises! I love that it’s non-toxic, sets with one touch, and makes cleanup simple with the grab-tab feature. Within a short time, it handled the problem quickly and safely without any mess or hassle.

Nice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried out the Tomcat Secure-Kill Rat Trap, and overall, it’s a handy little tool for tackling a rat problem without using poison. In terms of safety, it’s non-toxic, which is great, but the snap mechanism is strong—so you definitely need to keep it away from pets or kids. Ease of assembly is excellent; there’s basically none required. You just bait it, press down to set it, and it’s ready to go. Effectiveness can be hit or miss—it’s powerful ...

Feels very sturdy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I appreciate that this specific trap doesn’t have poison. I was worried setting it up that I would snap my fingers, but it is well designed that you don’t touch that area when setting it up.

Well Made

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to set up and seems durable. Can’t comment on its effectiveness yet, but seems to be practically made. Hope that if it does trap a rat my husband is home to take care of it.

Strong and Easy to Load

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tomcat secure rat trap is a seriously strong piece of equipment. My only problem about it is that it took me several times to use my foot to set the trap as the instructions recommended. Otherwise, the device was very easy to use, and it did make me feel a little better not having my hand next to the loaded trap. We have yet to actually catch a rat, but I am going to take that as a good sign! I have no doubt that one one comes sniffing ar...
