Tomcat Secure-Kill Rat Trap, Features Aggressive Secure Catch Design to Trap and Kill, 2 Traps

I noticed few chipmunks running around the yard here and there but didn't think anything of it until I saw holes that they were digging behind a retaining wall as their home... I just replaced the retaining wall 3 years ago and it cost me over $10,000 so I wasn't going to let these chipmunks damage and ruin it.I actually have a lot of experience with mouse kill traps but I never had a chipmunk or rat trap so I bought 3 different rat/chipmunk kill traps and this one turned out to be my 2nd favorite but I had to use it with Tomcat Rodent Station so that I don't hurt other big animals or birds.WHAT I LIKE:[+] Very strong snap action. It will be instant kill for sure if it gets them on the head...[+] Easy to bait while trap is not activated.[+] It's easy and safe to activate the trap without any risk of your hand or finger getting injured[+] It has a loop to tie it down to something in case the injured rat or chipmunk tries to run away with the trap.[+] It works great with Tomcat Rodent Station if you want to use it outdoor without the risk of hurting other big animals and birds.[+] Grab tab for easy disposals and can be reused over and over and over...[+] Price is great!WHAT I DON'T LIKE:[-] Absolutely nothing!BOTTOM LINE:Easily 5 out of 5 stars. I have no complaint about this trap as it works flawlessly and I have caught so many chipmunks already. The only reason why this is my 2nd favorite is because J T Eaton Jaws Depot Covered Rat and Chipmunk Trap just happens to have better design as it comes with a cover to be used outdoor and for better kill rate. Sure, you can buy Tomcat Rodent Station separately as I did but the Tomcat Rodent Station has minor problems that's not as good as J T Eaton's.Anyways, this is a great trap for rat or chipmunks and you can't go wrong with this, especially if you are using it indoor without any big animals around it.Hope this was useful... and if it was, please click on the helpful button below.

If you've ever caught a rat in one of those little wooden traps made for mice, you know how disgusting the result can be (the metal hits the rat on the top of the head instead of snapping the neck and, well, you know... brains everywhere). This is meant for rats and works great. Will also catch mice, so added bonus. And they're reusable.

The media could not be loaded.  These traps work very well. Super easy to set and easy to release the caught rodent. I recently bought a box of 5 of these traps and I’ve caught 2 rats so far. Both were still alive in the traps. It seems like the design may have changed and perhaps the springs are weaker than the previous version?Regardless, I would still recommend and purchase again. 4 stars. Would have given 5 stars if they finished the job.

I originally bought the first one back in October. Out here in the Arizona desert we have pack rats the size of Chicago. They are also clever and have been able to work around all the other traps I tried including mechanical and electronic. These rats seldom get into the house but when they do, they can be hard to eliminate. Most of the problem areas are outdoors, like under a shed I built with an improper style of foundation.Back to the trap review. The best bait I found is two half peanuts dropped into the cup. I did have to mount the trap to a decent size piece of 2x6 wood. This kept the trap from being pushed over by the rats. Once I had this set up figured it out, I never missed a rat. Humane? Really? These things do a lot of expensive damage to things such as automobile wires. They do not deserve humane treatment. They deserve this very effective rat trap. If it is in good functioning order and set up as I stated, it NEVER misses. Put it out in the early evening and throw the dead rat out somewhere in the desert the next morning.The trap sets easily by stepping on the arming pedal. No missing fingers from setting it.The dead rat is easy to remove. Press the trap setting lever and the rat falls out.The trap is easy to clean for the next use. Just rinse it off.As for how many uses you can get, I got over a dozen kills with the first one. I stopped counting after that. But eventually, the mechanism will stop working properly. It seems to set but actually it takes more pressure than a bait thieving rat will apply to trip it. At the price of a replacement, I have no complaints though.I bought one to show and one to go this time. Set one out by the shed the night they were delivered and had a dead rat by morning. No more infestation under the shed.I highly recommend this trap as the only one you will need for indoors or out.

I'm REALLY disappointed in the Tomcat traps. Ordered these as an upgrade to the others I bought last month on Amazon. They cost more and had great reviews so I thought it would be worth it. NOPE. Pack of 5 traps...all broken in the 1st 2 weeks. The spring that slams the jaw shut is so strong that it breaks the CHEAP hinge that holds the piece on the trap. EVERY trap has broken in the same place after only a few uses. I did not even CATCH one rodent. They set off but broke every time. So, I went thru the process of dealing with Tomcat directly for a refund. Answered all their questions as part of the automated process, then their refund "bot" froze and would not allow me to click the "submit" button as the last step. Frustrated...now I'm hoping AMAZON will refund me for these "trash" traps.

Terrible product u can’t set the trap and u can’t take the capsule out to fill it like the one u buy at Home Depot and the casting broke on the trap when u went to set the trap.Just a waste of money

Malísimo. De manejo peligroso. Jamás cayeron los ratones y una rata logró escapar. Lo peor es que al tercer día ya no funcionaba. No sirve y en verdad puede llegar a lastimar a quién lo coloque.

This product did not work for me
