Tomcat Rat Snap Trap

Nunca había visto una trampa como esta, pero la verdad es muy efectiva, tuve la visita de dos ratas en mi casa, una la puede matar por cuenta propia, pero la otra era más escurridiza, le dí veneno y una trampa de pegamento pero ninguna funciono (supongo que fueron de mala calidad ) si qué o dacia qué más comprar para matarla hasta que me encontré con esta trampa y me convenció por las reseñas, la compre y en dos días cayo, yo use de cebo un poco de atún ya qué tiene un olor fuerte.

I live in a semi-rural area and have a problem with rats getting in the roof (and gnawing on electrical wiring) and under the house. Hitherto I've used bait stations, which certainly kills the rats, but they die in the roof or in the sub-floor and create a stink for a couple of weeks. After reviewing a couple of cheaper and similar design traps I settled on Tomcat — and they work a treat. I caught this specimen on the second night, adjacent to a hole where they were getting under the house. I'm happy to recommend Tomcat Rat Snap traps — a quality product that works.

Works like a charm. No muss, no fuss. Rats took up residence in my garage just before we had a freeze here in FL. High living! Many of my plants were in there…gave them lots to eat. Everything they needed. But now I’m catching them with two traps per night. Four so far. I won’t re-use them…ick factor for me. (What can I say…I’m a female. The fact that I can bring myself to dispose of them is a big deal for me). Thankfully Amazon offers them for half of what they are at local Ace Hardware. One adult fought like heck, wouldn’t die, even with head stuck in trap. Nasty. I put them in large plastic painters’ pail and closed the lid. Out they go. Yeah, some money spent on traps and pails…but a whole lot less than using extermination service. Still need to have them “bomb” garage, though.

I have used snap traps of various types for years with limited success. I have heard that rats can actually eat the bait on some without tripping the mechanism and also know what a trap looks like and actually can trigger the trap without getting caught. I can verify that as absolutely true as I use an infra red wildlife camera to see the routes the rats take and have seen rats "teasing" the trap. having seen the reviews I decided to try the Tomcat trap. In the first 3 nights I caught 4 rats. Unbelievably two rats were killed at the same time. Since then it has proved effective with more kills. I like the removeable bait holder as it can be cleaned easily and recharged. Also I think the matt plastic and more shell like construction makes it less conspicuous. Whatever it is proving to be a great product and worth spending that bit more on. Peanut butter is also the best bait I've used so far. I was told Nutella is good but that never worked very well. I tend to smear some peanut butter on things in the area of the trap which seems to also help entice the rats onto the trap. Thoroughly recommended !

Very powerful trap, snaps necks and kills quickly. Although less so if they get their legs caught, then you have to fetch the spade.
