Answer This Question

A:  Tomcat Mouse & Rat Trap Attractant Gel ingredients are considered proprietary.

by|Jan 13, 2023

    A:  The Home Depot products normally have a link to the SDS in the product details info. My look at that shows non-toxic for all materials. I only skimmed it, you may find more about what you are looking for their. At the time of this writing the link is :https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/3c/3c2478e2-fffa-429b-aa92-fccafa00aab4.pdf

          Q:Is this gel mold resistant? I have a somewhat damp basement which renders the typical bait (peanut butter, cheese) moldy within a weeks time. Thank you!

          Answer This Question

          A:  I purchased this gel to attract mice that had gotten into an exterior garage. It worked immediately and that ended the problem there. I decided to use it in an area of my basement that does get damp and has gotten other, regular food bait, moldy. That was several months ago and just checked the traps after reading this question. It looks like the gel has slid through the metal bait section of the snap trap and appears to have been absorbed by the wooden plate. I also have some in the center of some glue traps and that gel looks as though it has been covered in sawdust. Not sure if it's mold but there has definitely been some sort of reaction. I haven't really checked the traps because I have not really seen any mice in quite some time. After having privacy bushes removed from the rear of the property I located a small hole in the window frame of a basement window which I believe was the entry point for past mice. I also placed an outdoor bait station I purchased at Home Depot on the exterior wall of my garage. Since doing these things, I haven't seen any mice or droppings in the garage or house. I do check the bait station occasionally and have seen that the bait has been eaten.

              A:  Tomcat Mouse & Rat Trap Attractant Gel is not treated with anything that would make it mold resistant.

                A:  I bought this gel to add to the Tomcat traps but didn’t catch anything. Tried peanut butter and bacon grease and didn’t catch anything, either, so these were some smart rats.

                  A:  No I doesn’t it attracts on its own.

                    A:  This product contains attractant gel, bait is not needed. Feel free to reach out with any other questions or concerns.

                      A:  I bought some liquid that said is better than peanut butter. Nothing can substitute peanut butter.

                        A:  Yes they do

                            Nothing beats peanutbutter... Sorry TomCat
                            I bought 4 spin traps and a bottle of this gel after reading the description I thought I would try it. I've had success in the past with peanutbutter, but thought this would be better... wrong. After setting the traps with the gel for several nights and not getting any results, yet seeing there was "mouse activity ", I cleared out the gel and went with my old stand by...Jif. The first day...within minutes I opened the cabinet to see that my spin trap had a hole in it... yup... a mouse attempted to beat the trap by chewing right through to get to the PB... eventually, he did give in and took the easy way in... effective trap...ineffective lure.

                              Does not attract anything!
                              I bought the attractant gel and nothing for about 3 days on 4 different traps. Then i noticed the mouse was scratching my office door so i made a insane trap with 2 razor blades taped to the door and about 10 thumb tacks. Wifey thought i lost my mind but i sorta did. Next day we watched in our video cameras as the mouse got hooked and released from the trap. Took him 3 hours but he was free from the trap and left me these images. Then we had another one running around with the trap on it's back banging around on our ceiling until it released off that trap as well. Still have not found where that trap went.

                                Fill the bottle up please!
                                It's a great product. However my Swiss grandmother would've said " why would you only fill the bottle halfway". It's because it looks like there's more and you can never squeeze the last bit out unless you cut the plastic bottle open so you gotta go buy more. Come on man...I understand marketing but when you have to squeeze the bottle in half to get the first drops out.....it's just not right!

                                  I tried this on several traps. I know there are mice under my house because I can hear them and see their droppings. I put this on several traps around where they have been. No luck. I had it out for a couple of weeks and nothing. I even reapplied bait about a week in. Then, I put a couple of traps down with peanut butter and within a day, I got two. The mice here obviously prefer peanut butter…
