what bait do you use in the tom cat rat trap?

I used peanut butter and I think I coated some nuts with it. If you have rats they will come.

I put peanut butter generously in the cup/ Then I toss sunflower seeds in and as far back as you can. The chipmunks were so smart as to be able to clean out the peanutbuttern without setting the trap off. So by putting the sunflower seeds in side as far back as possible. I got them to enter the trap. You might want to tie the trap to something so they can't get lose. I had them to destroy 2 traps but at least I got the little buggers. I had one lady ask me what I did with them. This trap killes them so bury them or put them in the trash These are not a trap and release trap.

The main ingredient is the same one that was used in the Tomcat Ant Killer Gel Bait. Their directions said to use in areas that are NOT accessible to children and pets or on surfaces that come in contact with food. Tomcat had bait trays that made it easy to place in non-accessible areas. It is extremely effective and well worth a little extra care in its use. Do not use with sprays as they will defeat the way that Indoxacarb works when carried back to the colony.

Put them anywhere no trap needed. Just be aware of pets who may have access to poison. Kills rats fast. Will also kill pets, raccoons, birds, etc. if they eat it.

Four traps. It works well, one time I caught two at the same time. And when you let the mice go you will be amazed how fast they run!

I have two of these traps and where I live in Sherman Oaks Calif we have what is called tree rats and they are not real large. I found a piece of bacon is good bait I piece in the back of the trap so the rat has to enter and it is trapped inside. I put a piece of bacon on the outsid as chum. I catch about three rats a week.

I put peanut butter in the hole and it catches mice 90% of the time. The other 10% they eat the peanut butter and don't get caught. One thing I do is put the trigger side next to a wall. That seems to work well.

I would tape a ampule to a cheap mouse trap, and try to rig a trip wire off of the catch on the trap. I hope that it helps you.

If your bait is something a cat would eat maybe. It would still have to reach in and pull the release up. I use shell corn if cats are around have not had a problem yet, otherwise dog food with a couple drops of fish oil sent works good.

I don't know why not. I used the bait trap but it did not work. The squirrels seemed to enjoy the taste. It did not work.

The bigger one (I have used this to catch baby rats) is Havahart 0745 Live Animal Professional Style One-Door Chimpunk, Squirrel, Rat, and Weasel Trap. It works great!

It is so easy. Bait the trap. Then merely bring the silver metal support back until it catches in the release mechanism where you will see the yellow portion in an upright position. The trap is released when the mouse steps on the lever to get the bait. The yellow arm then comes down over the mouse catching its neck or back. By the way, the best bait is a little "Tootsie Roll".

Mice just steal from my trap. Bought a second trap, same thing. The trap cannot detect them. Called and emailed Raticator, but they did not reply.

Bait was not included with my recent purchase of this item. That is sold separately. You may secure the green colored Tomcat product. I have seven such bait stations on my 1 1/2 acre property.

Why doesn't the cat get the mice and rats??? I have no idea as to your question. I use it to deter deer.

no bait. I bought a large container, but haven't used it all because it killed all my voles :-)

Any should work, but other baits are possible. Have they already caught mice? If so you may need to boil them to get rid of the scent.

I havent caught anything other than rats but thats because i used it indoors. If you put bait that attracts squirrels i would imagine it will catch them. I would suggest looking for a "humane rodent trap" that wont harm them if you are worried about that
