Customer Review: This One Works
Summary: 5 Stars
Several reviewers have reported problems with this trap, such as the trap not being strong enough to actually kill the rat. I wonder how many times this happened to each of these reviewers before they concluded the trap doesn't work properly. No trap works perfectly every time, but I've had a lot of experience with rat traps, and I can assure you this one works better than most.
I've deployed six different types of traps: two types of glue traps, the old standby classic by Victor, a knock-off of the Victor, an elaborate and beautifully designed, Japanese-made cage to trap them alive, a second kind of live trap, and the Tomcat. I've caught quite a few rats, so I can claim a little expertise on this subject.
As I said, no trap will work perfectly every time in every situation, or they wouldn't have invented so many different types--we'd all just use the classic wood-and-metal type, which doesn't cost very much, and be happy and rat-free. Each has its purpose--except for some that in my experience don't work: I haven't caught a single rat in the cheap Victor-type knock-off. In all of the others, I have, but the Tomcat has been the most successful. So I assure you, it does work, at least when I've use peanut butter as bait.
Second, it it easy to set. No need for worries about getting your fingers caught (and some of these traps can inflict some real pain). Once the trap is cocked open, it stays open; you don't have to be super-careful every time you get within two feet of it for fear it's going to snap. The bait is inserted into a removable little tube, so you can take the tube out, put in the bait, put it back in without setting the trap, or even while the trap is already set, without a problem.
Third, being plastic, it doesn't rot or get very rusty outside; the Victors do both eventually. You can even wash it once in a while, which is probably a good idea if you catch rats in it. (There's a spring in the Tomcat that does rust, but very slowly.)
Fourth, it's reasonably priced, and unlike glue traps, it's endlessly reusable, doesn't catch any and all living things (bugs, frogs, roaches, lizards, whatever) that may wander across it, or present you with a glued living rat you have to get rid of.
I did have one rat that got caught by the leg, and it was not a happy situation, least of all for the rat, which I put out of its misery. But the same thing happens with every kind of snap trap once in a while. As for the spring not being strong enough, tell that to the many rats that have been killed instantly in my Tomcat.
