What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the trap's exceptional effectiveness at catching rats, often within hours, and note its superiority over traditional spring traps. Many appreciate the ease of use, removable bait cup, and one-motion setting mechanism. The trap also works well on chipmunks and mice. However, a significant group reports the bait cup breaks or detaches during normal use, rendering traps unusable and forcing replacement. Some customers express concern that rodents are occasionally caught but not immediately killed, causing prolonged suffering. Despite durability and humane concerns, most reviewers consider it effective and reliable for rodent control.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had rats in my garage, they were getting in boxes of magazines I had stored on shelves, so I placed the trap next to the rear wall and baited with dry cat food and started catching and ridding my garage from rats.

Easy to set
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to set trap by hand or by foot. So far I haven’t caught anything for 3 days, but the cold weather just started and I haven’t tried using bait yet. I have it set near a path i believe they frequent in order to hopefully catch the mouse/rat running over the trap.

Worked fast!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Niece called. Thought she had critters in her attic. Being here in Florida told her probably rats. Set this up for her. Within an hour..bingo! She was amazed. This is definitely worth using. Made sure there were no more. This worked quick!

easier to set
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i like this item for me its easier to set and does not have to be careful with it so that once set will easily go off before placing. i have arthritis in my hands trying to set a regular trap was very difficult this is just push down the lever and done with little pain. also after being placed not as easy to set off by accident.

heavy duty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't had to use it yet, but know that this will do the job. Just by looking at how well built it is. Everything g is heavy duty from the spring to the plastic cage. I would recommend this to anyone.

This works easy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a mouse running around. I don’t like to mess with those traps that you have to tie something or put peanut butter on so I thought that this trap would be simple and this trap was. I place this close to the room that I saw the mouse and that night, the trap caught the mouse.

Can’t Use it Yet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this from Scott’s in JANUARY, a rat trap. Because it came a couple weeks ago, they want me to write my review. Well, January in Michigan means the temperature is too cold to have a rat problem. So based on ‘looks’ only, I think the plain old spring loaded mouse traps would likely work just as well at lower cost.

Tomcat® Rat Snap® Trap is simply the best !

Works well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time I used this kind of trap. It works better than the old style spring trap. The old ones wouldn't always catch the rat, only by the tail sometimes. This one does a better job every time.
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the way you press down on the end to set the trap. 1st time I set it all the peanut butter was gone completely and trap was still set. Thought it was a small mouse that got in there but now think it was roaches.

Greatest rat trap ever!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This trap is so awesome, I’ve trapped so many rats with it!! It dispatches with precision and no nasty poisons than can harm the environment or other wildlife. After I clear the trap of the rats I set them out for our neighborhood Red Tailed Hawk, Nom Nom!

Ease of Use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simple and easy to use. The design allows you to setup place in high traffic areas like the garage, kitchen area, and the laundry room. The look of the product has evolved from the old school wooden ones to a more modern touch up.

Heavy duty rat trap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Initially I thought this trap was going to be hard to set and quite frankly I was a bit scared of it…turned out to be simple. Excellent investment, works exactly as described. Highly recommend for rats.
