Tomcat Attractant Gel, 1 oz.

Mice, mice mice...we live in a semi-rural area with 7 acres, wetlands and wildlife ... and mice! I use the usual traps with peanut butter. Also tried the sticky mats. All work, but mice never go away. I keep trying new tricks and purchased the Tomcat gel. Silly me, I left it in the bottle, in the box, for over a year. A few weeks ago, I notice white plastics bits all over the tool shelf. Why? The mice chewed through the cap (never opened). Wow ... if they are eager enough to get to the secret sauce in the closed-never opened container ... imagine in the trap!

this is totally useless, first of all the tube did not work, no "eraser sized amount" came out of the tube and by pushing to squeeze anything out, you only squashed it - besides it did NOT attract a single mouse, don't buy this product

I loaded it into two of the Tomcat "Press n Set" traps in the bathroom closet before hopping on the toilet. Almost immediately after I sat down I heard SNAP. About 20 seconds later, another SNAP. Two mice rushed to get this stuff right in front of me. Unbelievable! I had originally got this because I had a problem in the past of my bait attracting ants, and this doesn't. But it's effective, mice really seem drawn to it, though it has no odor to me. So much easier than using food for bait, and as far as I can tell it doesn't spoil. I only add more when the trap cup is low. One dab lasts weeks or months. It's not as cheap as peanut butter, but worth the extra cost in my opinion. I also find using a blob of blue goo makes the process seem slightly less disgusting somehow.

I can't yet speak to whether this is a good attractant yet, as I just received it and put in the traps. It is a thick gel and was hard to squeeze from the container, but I got a small dollop out to put in the trap. I will update this review, later, if it seems to work as a replacement for peanut butter, which can be messy to use.

I'm not sure if this is related to the product or to other factors with our local rodent population, but the first day I set out some traps I caught a small rat overnight. Since then, I haven't caught a single one. We also have a real squirrel problem but they're smarter than mice/rats and just dig around the traps.On the positive side it's pretty easy to add gel to the Tomcat traps. But I wonder if peanut butter would do the trick just as well for a fraction of the cost.

Works great

Just caught my first mouse with this beat!

For $6/oz this stuff better be amazing. We have rats around here that are smarter than the average bear because all the dumb ones have been killed by traps already, leaving only the smart ones who are smart enough to be afraid of anything new like tasty gourmet food in weird devices.This goop is not working any better than peanut butter, making it a complete waste of money and a bad value for the cost. Just save your money and use peanut butter or similar typical bait.If you’re going to charge 10x as much as peanut butter for rat bait that looks like the mutagenic goop in Prometheus, it better be either: 10x as irresistible to ratsas anything else, or turn things into Xenomorphs, or facilitate planetary panspermia or something. This doesn’t do any of those things. The giant bald headed aliens would be very unimpressed, as would the evil android, because the rats certainly aren’t.
