Ideal for capturing the occasional intruder or as part of a more extensive control program, the Tomcat Rat Snap Trap is an essential piece in controlling your rat infestation.

Review: Reliable Death-Traps - I’ve caughtched many mices with these traps and find them generally reliable, easy to use, and effective. Easy to set and place without much risk to fingers. Kill mices efficiently and easy to remove the prey. Can be reused multiple times before they start to wear out. They are pretty good about not tripping on their own and not letting mice eat the bait without getting snapped.
Review: Ok, I admit it, it's a better mouse trap. - Somehow I got a rat in my attic. I put a fancy electric rat trap up there to catch him as well as a couple wireless cameras to try and see how he was getting in (because I haven't had any rat trouble for years). A week later, noises in the attic still but nothing in the trap. Camera footage showed the rat going right up to the electronic trap but being to suspicious to go inside. Frustrated, I looked for an alternative - enter, the Tomcat. I placed a couple Tomcats in the attic and within 4 hours that rat was caught. Done! As others suggested, I connected the Tomcats to a little bailing wire and secured to nearby screws so the rat couldn't drag it off, and that worked fine. There's a bit of play on the trap's trigger paddle so if you're careful you can ease that paddle down a bit toward the release point and make a 'hair-trigger' out of it. Hold the trap securely open with your hands while you press the paddle and gauge where the paddle will snap the trap shut, then leave the paddle very close to that point and you have your hair trigger. Nothing fancy, no mods, that's what I did and it worked great - don't get your fingers snapped! its I found this trap to be very effective and would definitely buy again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will these kill squerrals????**
A: Yes, they work well for squirrels, I don't know about "squerrals" they seem like a mythical creature only found in the Fire Swamps, Westley and Buttercup had to use a sword to kill the ones they encountered.

**Q: Has anyone used these for ground squirrels, and if so, any success?**
A: We currently use these for chipmunks (ground squirrels). They work absolutely great. Set the trap and bait with black sunflower seeds. We've had to attach the traps to tent stakes to prevent larger animals from carrying off the trap.

**Q: Can you buy or get more removable bait cups?**
A: I had one batch of traps whose bait cups broke the first or second time that each trap snapped (specifically the tabs at the bottom are what failed). I emailed the manufacturer, who mailed me a bag of 25 replacement cups. I haven't had any cups break in the past year, so I think that I just had one bad batch.

**Q: Is this an upgraded version of the tomcat secure-kill rat trap? the secure-kill works but it breaks after one rat.**
A: I had no problems with the last version and like this version better for being able to remove the bait part. I'm getting mice, rats, and chipmunks. For me, it's lasted several kills before the trap needs replacing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use mouse trap
*by J***T on January 30, 2026*

This is a very easy to use and effective trap for small mice. I found evidence of one in my kitchen and ordered this one with the recommended bait. Once the trap was set, problem was solved in less than an hour. Doesn't kill instantly but does eventually. No mess and reusable are other benefits. Highly recommended for small mice, about thumb size.
