Never fails!!! 1-5 rodents on my ONE trap station
Our old shed and garage was infested with rats/mice and I had tried a lot of bait and it was hit and miss at catching them. I started using this on my traps and WHAM!! The trap snags at LEAST one everyday on just one trap. I've had up to FIVE on one sticky pad in the morning when Id check it.

Magical stuff
I am so beyond grateful for this product. We had a very smart mouse that was licking peanut butter off all the snap traps and avoiding every other thing we tried to trap it with. It was a several weeks battle. We had a bucket trap that we put dog food, peanut butter, AND chocolate in that it had avoided for several days. All other food sources were gone as far as I was aware, and the little thing would dig in my plants to eat roots instead of going into the bucket for real food. He was smart, stubborn, and maddening!! I’d finally bought some MouseX “poison” pellets, Tomcat Attractant Gel, and a Jawz trap to use it on. I put the gel on the top teeth of the Jawz trap to get it ready..and I sprinkled the MouseX pellets around the plants in hopes that it would be what the mouse would go for if it was really starving (it is supposed to dehydrate then kill without any risk of secondary poisoning). I then got nervous that it would just lick the gel off the traps again like the peanut butter and I’d just be continuing to sustain the dang thing. I decided I didn’t want to put the pellets and trap with attractant gel out together, because I wanted it to go for the pellets first…so I put the Jawz traps with the tomcat attractant gel inside of the bucket trap for the meantime. I was so disappointed when I woke up and saw that the mouse had walked right by the MouseX pellets without eating any (I could tell by poop placement and I’d counted the pellets) but was so ecstatically shocked to see the little monster dead in the jaws trap inside the bucket because it had gone for the attractant gel!! It went into the bucket full of food that it had avoided for days, ignored the chocolate, dog food, and peanut butter in it, and went for the attractant gel instead!! It is amazing stuff and I am so happy I chose to give it a try!!

Try This!
I had been trying to catch a mouse for several days with no luck. Within 2 hours of baiting with Tomcat Attractant, the mouse was off to the happy hunting ground. This is good stuff!

Definitely works
We bought this 2 days ago when our old traps with peanut butter didn't seem to work anymore. Since we put this out, we have caught three mice.

Worked for me night 1
After my victor traps didn’t work nor rat x, I tried these traps and the gel for a very evasive mouse in my house that my German Shepard senses but does nothing about. I placed the traps as directed. Went upstairs for the night. Came down to a flipped trap .. worked the first night .. I’ll buy more until I’m sure this issue is gone completely

quick and clean
Worked great on large brown rat living in my flower garden. Baited a classic Victor snap rat trap and set in the path the rat took toward droppings from bird feeder. Dead in 1 day!

Works Great!!
We have had a problem all spring with mice making a home in the weep holes of our foundation. Last year we just used the bait and them mice did lower but they weren’t gone. This year I looked at the white plastic traps and used peanut butter. We might get one trap triggered per night every 3 to 4 days. I saw this attractant gel at the hardware store and thought why not! And since starting to use is it every trap and caught a mouse every night! I am putting then against the wall of the back porch where we see them running in the late evening. This is the best thing!! 50x better than cheese or peanut butter!
