Caught that pesky mole when all my other attempts to eliminate him had failed. Was a nice fat guy that was destroying my yard like he was several moles. Well worth the money.

It's a pain to set and hasn't trapped a mole yet. Definately not user friendly or effective.

We are that Tomcat Mole Trap did not control your moles as expected. Before using Tomcat Mole Trap, use a ½ inch dowel or stick to puncture holes in the tunnels. If the mole tunnel has been closed while setting the trap, moles will not re-open a closed tunnel. Instead, they will make a new one. It could be possible that the tunnel you are trying to place the trap in has been closed. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please call 877-220-3089 for assistance. When calling, please refer to this review. tomcat

This is the second Tomcat mole trap that I purchased...I gave my first trap to a friend since he had mole activity in his yard. I got this new trap yesterday because I noticed new tunnels in my yard...today I got the mole! I have trapped over 10 moles with the trap over the past several years. I like that it is easy to see if the trap has been tripped from a distance. The trap is durable and very effective.

    Caught the devil mole the second day. Need to practice on how to set the trap, and place in the best location. I would highly recommend this device. I had tried to trap that mole for over six months with steel prong traps. I also tried artificial worms for bait but foxes kept digging them up.

      The trap works great, if placed correctly over a tunnel. Had 2 kills last summer and 2 more this summer. Deducted one star because the trap takes a lot of skill and strength to set, as well as release the dead mole.

        Good trap with a few caveats
        I recommend this trap. After 2 weeks of trying Tomcast Mole & Gopher bait and Tomcat Rodent Bait Pale poison, a mole continued to make swiss cheese of my lawn. Then I decided to try this trap before I gave up and called a professional exterminator. It took two attempts using 2 traps but I finally caught the mole. I used two traps because I had extensive tunneling and I wanted to increase my chances. One trap is enough. I probably would have caught the mole on my first attempt but positioned the trap incorrectly. This scissor trap has a very strong spring. It takes quite a bit of leg power to push it into lock position. Some people may find it difficult to use. You will have to cut two small slits in the grass over the tunnel with a shovel so you can insert the closed trap. Once you insert the trap, you step on the locking mechanism which opens the blades and locks it in place. Tips: 1. Make sure you insert it in an ACTIVE tunnel. Make a small hole in a tunnel the day before and mark it to identify the location. If the hole is filled with new dirt when you recheck it, it is an active tunnel. 2. Individuals who find this trap too cumbersome, might consider using a metal scissor trap. It's smaller but more expensive. 3. Although some find success using poisons, based on my experience and my research I would skip the poisons and start with a trap. 4. Moles' primary food source is not grubs, it's earthworms. But they do eat grubs and other insects. So using grub insecticide may or may not help prevent moles from tunneling in your yard. That said, killing the grubs in your lawn may discourage skunks, raccoons or armadillos from tearing up your lawn or prevent the grubs from damaging your grass. 5. Youtube has a lot of helpful videos for set up ex: video title TOMCAT Mole Trap 34150

          We are sorry that Tomcat Mole Trap did not control your moles as expected. Before using Tomcat Mole Trap, use a ½ inch dowel or stick to puncture holes in the tunnels. Mark holes with lawn flags or something that will make the holes easy to spot. Be careful not to crush runways. After 24 hours, inspect the holes. Sealed holes are a sign of mole activity. If the mole tunnel has been closed while setting the trap, moles will not re-open a closed tunnel. Instead, they will make a new one. It could be possible that the tunnel you are trying to place the trap in has been closed. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers.

          Broken trap
          I have two of these traps and they work great. I have caught about 10 moles this summer alone. However, one of them has a broken clamp, the part that is under ground and actually catches the mole. Is there a way I can get a replacement to that entire side. I have looked at it and believe I could replace it if I had the part. Is there a way I can order a replacement part?

            Our apologies that your Tomcat Mole Trap has yet to catch the mole you have set it for. The trap's success is dependent on placement within an active mole tunnel. Normally if the trap is set in an active tunnel, there is usually a capture within 24-48 hours. We do stand by our products, so if you would like to discuss this further or get some additional tips on placement, please give us a call at 877-220-3089. Refer to this review when you call. tomcat
