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.] I got this rat trap and was so happy on how it is set. You can use your foot with a boot or shoe on. Remember the wire traps? No biggie if it was a mouse trap and it snipped you. Ouch. A wire rat trap nails you and you could end up with a broken finger. Nabamana. Those days are over. I was asked to leave feedback on this awsome trap.

Hands stay clean!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This rat/mouse trap is amazing! When you need to empty a pest from the trap, it works like a chip clip and you never have to touch the pest! I would recommend this item to everyone and will be purchasing many more.

Intimidating look
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this trap to test and it worked amazingly. Before I place it in my barn I cleaned up all the previous traces of rodents. I placed the trap in a known traffic area along the wall baited with Tomcat attractant. Trap has been set for three weeks and I have not had a single rodent in my barn and there is no trace of any rodents. My neighbor has complained that he has had an increase in rodents at his place. I can only assume this trap ha...

Simply the best!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As long as Tomcat Rat Snap Traps are available I will never buy a different product. The old style wooden spring traps cannot compare to the powerful spring used in Tomcats. They are also very durable.

Easy to Use; Eefective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This rat trap is easy to set, and is effective. I like that it’s not made of metal, which when placed in the elements causes them to rust and needing replaced. The material used to make this trap holds up great to the elements.

Good for catching chipmunks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These traps work pretty well in trapping chipmunks in my garage. Sometimes the chipmunks can take the bait and not trip the trap. I've also had chipmunks break this type of trap and escape, but overall I like the trap.

Trap sets easily in one motion.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This trap sets easily in one motion with your hand or foot. A strong and effective way to control rodents. I don't believe a rat could escape this trap! I highly recommend the Tomcat Rat Snap! Great name by the way!

So easy to set!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you have ever used the the old wood and metal traps you will be amazed at the ease of this new plastic trap. Simple to set with no sapped fingers. Nice little "bowl" for some peanut butter bait and washes clean with warm water.

Tom rat trap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is so durable and strong used it in my building and already caught a mouse in it. It works really good. I would recommend the Tom's rat trap to my friends and family. I really rhinitis will help a lot of people who have rodents in the house or around there home.

Clean and efficient
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While we do not have rats in my area of the country, moles and mice are a nuisance. without having ever seen the guilty critters myself, my elderly mother was clearly having an issue with rodents in her garage. I decided to give the Tomcat Rat trap a try and was thrilled with the results. 3 nights....3 moles. While I do not have experience with something as large as a rat....I can say that this style trap provided us with a 100% hit ratio...

Works great!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I saw a rat in my Lawn Shed and set a Rat Snap Trap that afternoon. The next morning I had the invader. Couldn't be happier with this product. Later I caught three Field mice with the same trap. I now use it in my log cabins on my farm.

Excellent product for garage/barn mice/rats
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this item on the offensive to inhibit rodents from tearing into some belongings that needed to be stored in the garage over the winter. Glad I did! Caught a large mouse within a week of putting it out there. I'm assuming they were looking for a warm place to nest but got bamboozled straight away. Easy to use and easier to dispose of.

Solidy built
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have not had the opportunity to use this yet but seems solidly built. I'm sure it will preform well. A bit big so I don't know if it will work well for mice or other small rodents. Whatever gets stuck in this trap, will not escape!
From ScottsMiracle-Gro

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a new invention of an old mouse trap! Unreal power and performance! I had to screw this down to the barn floor and I caught some monsters! I will definitely purchase one for every corner!!!!

Easy to Use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tomcat Rat Snap Trap is easy to use and does the job for which it is intended for! We put them around our properties and do not have to worry about children getting into them. The tenants have not called since we put these out

Easy to Use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It Works Since I don’t have a rat problem I decided to use it to deter other animal that have been damaging my plants etc. I started with chipmunks and after getting one the rest must have gotten the hint and moved out. Next p will be the squirrels! As always an easy to use Scott’s product.

Scared Yet Satisfied
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay so I received my Tomcat Rat Snap Trap in the mail and since its cold out I kinda figured that I would be dealing with rodent(s) trying to do some damage in my outside storage room. The cats took care of majority of the mice but I had a big rat out there. So I placed it in the corner of the room on Monday evening (batted with peanut butter) by Tuesday evening I had a trapped RAT. It was pretty gruesome and I didn't take a picture because th...

Great Trap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to set and works extremely well! Kills most rats instantly. I have used one trap in multiple places around my house and business and it continues to work kill after kill. Love it and would buy it again.

Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is so easy to use. No mess, easy cleanup. So much easier to set the Tomcat rat trap compared to the old conventional spring traps. It is not easy for rats to figure out that this is trap. Just bait it set the trap and wait.
