Tomcat Mole Killer(a), Ready-to-Use Worm Bait Strips that Mimic Earthworms, Kills Moles in One Feeding, 10 pk.

UPDATE FEBRUARY 2025: I had a friend tell me that she cuts the worms in half which doubles the number of worms you can put down. So I tried that and I was able to find 2 dead moles within 3 days of each other. So cutting them in half not only gives you a larger area to cover, but saves you money as well!! We have lived in our house for over 25 years and never had an issue with moles/voles until 2 summers ago. Then all of a sudden we start seeing mole trails everywhere. We purchased and tried everything on the market to try and get rid of these moles. Nothing we bought worked. We even purchased the very expensive ultrasonic solar powered spikes that are supposed to scare the moles away. The moles actually made tunnels all around every single one of the spikes. Like they were laughing at our attempt! Finally, a friend told me about these worms. I didn't think something so simple and so easy-to-use would work but I was desperate to get rid of them so I decided to give them a try. I bought one box of ten and put them in the areas that we noticed the trails. We did notice a decline in activity but still were getting fresh tunnels. So I purchased another box and used all ten worms in the areas of the fresh tunnels. We never had a new tunnel after that. I think we had to use a second box because I believe there were more than one mole. Last year about this time (June) we noticed a fresh tunnel. I put down ten more worms and didn't have any issues for the rest of the summer. Last week, we noticed a new tunnel. I had five worms left from last summers purchase. I put those five down and the very next morning, there was a dead mole exactly on top of one of the places I had put the worm down! Less than 24 hours. Plus the worms had been in our garage all year long opened. But they evidently didn't lose any of their potency. If you read the directions or watch the video, you probably think that is too much work to try to figure out where you should put the worms. I have never went thru all of that. I always put the worms in what ever fresh trails I see. I don't look for their "traveling" trails. I put it in the short trails or long trails. As long as it's a fresh trail and it does the job. So you don't have to wait and watch the trails over 2 or 3 days like they tell you to in the instructions. If you see a trail, stick a worm in it and it works! So glad my friend told me about these. I won't be using anything else. Now if I can find something that works this well on my ant infestation outside!

It worked! The moles will dig exit holes and cover them with a layer of dirt. I dug the dirt layer out with a table spoon, drop the worn in the hole and place a rock over the open hole. Next morning, lift the rock and the hole is again covered by a layer or dirt. I would remove the dirt, and the worm was gone. After 6 worms, they stopped covering the holes and the 7th worm is still in the hole.

I swear, moles have been the bane of my lawn for years. They seem to pop up new tunnels right after I knock down the old ones. I decided to try the Tomcat Mole Killer after reading that it actually looks and feels like their natural food (earthworms), and applying it was super easy. You just poke a hole in the active tunnel and drop a piece in. The good news is, I definitely saw a drop-off in new activity immediately. My usual daily tunnel patrol turned into a weekly one, which is a huge win in my book. The fact that it's designed to kill in a single feeding gives me some confidence that I'm actually dealing with the problem, not just shifting it down the lawn. Now, for full disclosure, I hit the button on this pretty late in the season, probably later than I should have. The ground is getting colder and they're slowing down anyway. So, while things look quieter now, the true test will be next spring. If I open the season tunnel-free, this stuff is getting five stars. For now, it’s a solid win for how easy it was to use and the instant slowdown in tunneling.

Ordered 2 boxes. One box was good, but 2nd box worms were totally melted down. Had to open packs trying to find a good one. Must return almost empty box for this reason. Hope I get refund/ replacement requested. Kept in the house where it was cool as well. Too expensive for this to happen.

One of the few products that actually work. Forget the traps - chemicals & vibrating devices. Easy to use.

I only used 2 worms in 2 spots. Killed moles in 24hrs

I have tried those death spike traps. Never had any luck, or maybe the patience for them. Tried those ultrasonic noise emitters. Not effective for me. These things…No more mole tunnels within 24-48 hours. Every time. I have a wooden dowel about 1/2” diameter. I just push through the top of the tunnel. You’ll feel it give way and then strike the bottom of the tunnel. Drop a worm down there and cover the small hole with some dirt/grass. Done. Just don’t let these sit in a hot garage. I had a package (could have been a couple years old) melt out of the tray in the sealed package. That’s my fault though.

My experience says these work better in winter time. Seems like colder weather entices the moles to eat the worms vs natural ones that may not be active.

They worked! Been having a momentous battle. Tried traps and deterrents, then research said these most effective. Ive got 2 left as they come in packets of 2 with several packets in the box. I have the following advice: 1) It is usually only one critter so just use one packet at a time, ie 2 worms dropped in the tunnel along a run with some distance between. I tried chopping them and they did not work so well. You really don't need that many. I used a flat, wide tent peg, made a hole along a run, dropped whole worms in run in 2 locations and plugged up the hole to get rid of tell tale light. 2) Don't forget it takes 48 hours to show if it has worked. 3) First time another mole came within days so I repeated the process. Ive Ben mole free for weeks in their breeding season of February. Relief/1 If anyone feels too sorry to poison them, it might help to know how they treat the worms. They squeeze and bash them to extract the soil before finishing them off for dinner!

So many good reviews. I should of listened to the negatives. Planted 6 of these worms in different areas of the garden. I used gloves, without gloves, covered my hands in dirt, used all sorts of different approaches not to let the mole think they were a trap. Nothing worked. All he's done is go mad and make even more holes. Utter useless rubbish waste of time and money.

This works well

I have tried "vibrators", chemical repellent, alcohol, urine, and now poison. Well, this product arrived promptly in good condition and was easy to use. Something is digging holes in my garden and leaving large and small lumps of earth all over my lawn - it sure seems like a mole, but I haven't seen it yet, so maybe it isn't a mole and is resistant to these poison-laced worms, for after 3 days of putting the worms deep into the holes, there are still new large molehills today; so it seems so far not to have worked. UPDATE: one week after using 6 worms at once, there was no activity at all and this has lasted now for 7 days. So it has worked - and it maybe just was a question of increasing the dose and waiting for the poison to slowly work?

I bought every trap you can get with limited results. Got this as a last measure as there were mixed reviews. I wore gloves to handle the product and cut each worm in three. Found raised tunnels in lawn as opposed to mounds. Poked hole in the top, dropped a section of worm in and two days later not a sign of them. My garden in my new house sits atop a mole empire, mounds all over every morning. So im very happy to see none this morning. Now I'm armed for the future as I'm surrounded by fields full of them. Hate to murder animals but I want garden!
