Rat Zapper - Electric Mouse Traps Indoor for Home - Safe and Effective Rat Killer - Electronic Mouse Trap Zapper Reusable and No Touch - Rodent Killer Outdoors & Indoor

welcome to death row. Sometimes, you're skeptical. after all the statement is "to build a better mouse trap." which means way too many fail. Labs test on rodents because they are smart and they learn. So would this become redundant? this was a nice chunk of change for something that i wasn't really sure would work. i had it in the house for a day. did nothing. wasn't sure i had it working properly. because there's no continuous light that lets you know it's powered on. it's just a simple switch. you see a green light and that's it. so you think it's not working when it is. the only thing i'd say is be mindful of the bait you use. i put in a dorito, since i saw a bag of mines had been chewed through. the dorito was gone no mouse. lol. i added a few crumbs from some cake. it sat there for a few days. i went to work came home. saw the thing blinking. checked it and the trap does work. dead mouse inside. i easily emptied it. just by tilting the trap over a trash can. so i decided it works. i knew they were laughing at me. one ate half my candy bar. so i said fine. instead of putting the rest in the trash, i'll put it inside of the trap. well. i went to work. came home dead mouse. i moved the trap thinking they might not go to the same spot. kept most of the candy bar inside, went to the store. saw it blinking. no mouse inside. i flipped the switch. left the candy bar there. began watching a movie and suddenly i'm hearing electricity arcing. now i'm freaking out. because i'm thinking my house is having an electrical fire. trying to figure out which outlet is having a meltdown. what do i need to unplug. i'm running for the sound which was PROLONGED. and that's when i notice the trap is blinking and STILL buzzing. i grab my cell phone to shine a light. and cautiously picked up the trap just to check inside. waiting for something to be twitching or jump out at me. so holding it at a distance from my face shining a light i see it inside frying by electric. with the way i heard that trap and with what i saw, i can but imagine what it is to work in a prison on death row. smh. yes. it was that graphic. i see why they wet a person down first. that mouse was sparking. his tail lit in a continuous fire. STILL ELECTRIC ARCED. and i'm there wondering how i still have life in these batteries. and when does it stop sending jolts to this creature? for it's been at least a good 2 minutes. the sound didn't stop. no clue why. but i did turn it off. i figured with it frying that long and if the mouse wasn't dead he deserved to live. but it was indeed dead. i dumped the mouse. set it back down. three hours later, i hear that electric sound again. now i know what it is, though it still gives... jolts of thinking it could be something else. flip the switch. dump the mouse. so i put it back in the same spot. figuring it must be a hot spot. i get trash together for trash day. i move a few items. over and that's when i see the dead mouse. apparently the day i saw it blinking but no mouse. the shock must have thrown him back in the manner like lightning. because it was behind and up under my shopping cart on the side, about six inches away from the trap. so even though i thought he got away. that spark did a thing to him. in just one day that single candy bar killed 4 mice. that single candy bar killed 7 altogether within two days. it was just generic candy bar from that famous price dropping rollback store of the walton family. i'm guessing their take on a snickers. i only bought it to try how good it was. but apparently it's EXCELLENT mouse bait. it's still in there now. cause they don't get a chance to eat it. it's just a TRUE tease at this point. i no longer hear the sounds of squeaking with small feet running across the floor. i just bought it in january. i used it straight out the box... ONCE i remembered to buy the batteries. my only regret is i wish i had bought this sooner. so if you have no issues with the sounds of an electric chair this is definitely the thing that will kill off your mice.

When I first laid eyes on the Rat Zapper - Electric Rodent Killer, I was filled with hope and excitement. Its promise of an effective and humane solution to my rodent problem seemed like a dream come true. Little did I know that my experience with this contraption would be far from dream-like. Strap yourself in for a rollercoaster of emotions as I share my personal journey with the Rat Zapper. The Setup: After receiving the Rat Zapper, I eagerly unboxed it and read through the instructions. The setup seemed straightforward, and I quickly realized that it required bait to attract the rodents. Armed with a slice of cheese, I carefully placed it inside the trap, following the recommended guidelines. I felt confident that I had done everything right and waited eagerly for the magic to happen. The Electric Shock: Days turned into weeks, and my anticipation grew. Finally, one fateful night, I heard a rustling noise from the kitchen. I tiptoed in, excited to witness the Rat Zapper in action. To my surprise, the trap was empty, but the cheese was gone. It seemed that the rodent had outsmarted the device. Determined not to be defeated, I re-baited the trap and patiently waited for another encounter. The Mysterious Disappearances: As days went by, the Rat Zapper continued to disappoint. Each morning, I would wake up, rush to the trap, only to find it empty. It was as if the rats had become invisible or had developed ninja-like skills to avoid the trap. It felt like a comedy show, with the rodents mocking me from afar. I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation. The Unexpected Challenges: Aside from the Rat Zapper's inability to catch a single rodent, I encountered some unexpected challenges. The device required constant monitoring, as it was prone to false alarms. Countless times, I would rush to the trap, only to find a bug or a fallen object triggering the device. It became a game of "What's in the Trap?" rather than catching rats. The Safe & Clean Promise: One of the main selling points of the Rat Zapper was its promise of being safe and clean. However, I found that it fell short of these claims. The trap emitted a pungent odor that lingered in the air long after use. Additionally, disposing of the rodent carcass was far from the sanitary experience I had envisioned. It was messy and unpleasant, leaving me to question the supposed cleanliness of this product. The Final Verdict: In the end, my experience with the Rat Zapper - Electric Rodent Killer left me feeling frustrated and disappointed. Its lack of effectiveness, coupled with false alarms and unpleasant odors, made it a regrettable purchase. As I sit here writing this review, I can't help but chuckle at the sheer absurdity of the situation. If you're looking for an amusing and laughter-filled adventure in rodent control, then the Rat Zapper might just be the product for you. However, if you actually want to catch mice or rats effectively and without hassle, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere. Conclusion: In the world of rodent control, the Rat Zapper - Electric Rodent Killer falls short of its promises. From its failed attempts to catch rodents to the unexpected challenges and less-than-sanitary experiences, my journey with this device was nothing short of a comedy act. While it may have provided some laughs, I cannot recommend it to anyone serious about effectively eliminating rodent problems. Save your money and avoid this rollercoaster of disappointment.

My neighbor has urban chickens, so even though I live in the suburbs of Silicon Valley, the whole neighborhood has rat and squirrel problems because she throws her food scraps out for the chickens. I have tried everything, trust me. I have a whole box full of a variety of snap traps and even the A-24 from Australia. This has been the best by far, as they don’t seem to be able to figure it out and keep coming back for more. Also easy to clean- just pick it up and the body will fall out. I bait it with some nuts dropped in so they sit at the far end of the trap (keep the electric plates free from food) and add a little bit of peanut butter or a couple bits of nuts in front of the trap to attract them and make them feel safe when they eat near the trap. I find it hard to bait inside the trap with peanut butter, as you need to keep it off of the metal plates and it’s hard to go back 8 inches and dab peanut butter without touching it on the plates, so I just drop nuts in and use the peanut butter in front of, and on top of, the trap. My (non-native) Eastern tree squirrels and Norwegian roof rats are very savvy but so far I’ve killed 10 in the last two months. I would’ve gotten maybe three rats with my other traps, and one squirrel- if I was lucky. These traps are meant for indoors, but I use them outside when it’s dry. I wouldn’t leave it out in drizzle or rain- bring it in if you know it’s going to rain or put it under good shelter, in case you forget. Here’s what I did to make it better for outdoors: I put duct tape around the battery area on the top, which I figured was where rain could leak in. I built a box, open at both ends (I read rats don’t like closed off areas where they can get stuck) which I put the trap into in case I forget to bring it in and it rains. A plastic box or even a cardboard box could work, too. The trap is about 4 inches wide. If you want to put it on a fence where rats run, it does not have a way to screw it down to a board, but you could glue the bottom of the trap to a scrap board, then drill holes in the board so you can attach it to a fence or tree. Also, if you don’t want to accidentally kill young kittens, skunks or possums, you could frame out the front of your wood box with a hole, or otherwise make it smaller. It would be a pretty small possum or kitten (8 weeks or less) who could fit in the hole, but you can cut a round hole in a 1”x4” board with one of the drill attachments they use for making holes in doors for doorknobs and attach it to the front of any box you put it in. I did once leave out my first trap in a light rain and it short-circuited, so now I use that trap as a decoy to get particularly smart rats used to going into that to eat food without being zapped. And then I’ll switch it out with the good trap and get them. When your trap short circuits, the light will flash red as though an animal has been in it, but you won’t find a rat in it, despite the bait being gone. So if your batteries are good, the red light keeps flashing, and your bait is gone, you probably have a short circuit and need to get a new trap

I moved from the city to a very rural area about 6 months ago and have had the opportunity to try out numerous mouse traps from April - to Now almost November. The property I am on now has a fairly large old chicken coop / outbuilding that was full of mouse droppings when we moved in. We sprayed the place down with a diluted bleech solution and got rid of the mouse poops. I then purchased a bunch of the small, black 'plastic' snap traps, loaded them up with peanut butter and set up 3 per day in this building. I was averaging about 12 dead mice per week with that method. As the season progressed into summer and now fall, the mice stopped going for those traps, but I knew we still had an issue. Same as before, I would load up the spring traps, various kinds, with peanut butter and in the morning when I'd go to check the traps I noticed they were all getting set off/tripped, but the peanut butter was gone, and no mouse in the trap. I wasn't sure why at the time, but my tried and true (and cheap) method for eliminating mice was no longer working. I refuse to use glue traps or poisons for reasons I don't need to get into on this particular review. I've only used this electronic trap for about 30 hours now. At some point last night the biggest mouse I've ever seen tried to get to the 2 or 3 pieces of dry dog food I placed at the end of the trap and he met his maker. I have trapped and killed hundreds of mice on this property and have never in my life seen a field mouse this large. All of my questions are now answered. This trap just plain works. There are a few downsides though. - You are only going to kill 1 mouse per day typically so the 'cost per kill' is high. - Placing the bait isn't that easy if you are used to using peanut butter. It's all the way in the back of the tunnel with no easy way to get the peanut butter back there. Dry dog food or sunflower seeds are going to be my 'go to' bait with this one. - cost of batteries - D cells aren't cheap. You may want to invest in some rechargeable ones. - cleaning the inside of the trap - when needed / if desired, is a bit cumbersome to say the least. 5 stars for killing the biggest mouse I've seen in my 50 years on this planet the first night I placed it. Edit - 2+ months later, the original batteries are still working. I've killed a dozen mice with this since my original review. This includes kills in sub zero temps. Best mouse trap I own.

These were great last year, and I caught lots of mice and one pack rat on my porch, so when they seemed to work no longer, I did not hesitate to replace them - a good system and easy to use. However, the 2 new ones have not lasted even for a month with only 2 catches before the lights won't go on. This is a great idea, but expensive to maintain by continually changing batteries after one catch this year. I hope someone can invent something similar that does not need constant replacement of the 4 batteries per unit, and that will ultimately not stop working or having the lights not work.

Rats were pouring into my utility room from the field next door. After months of spending $30 a week on the green rat poison pellets, with very little results, it began to feel like I was just feeding them. So I tried different kinds of traps, even the 5 gallon bucket-top trap. Nothing worked. They were running wild. Then I got this rat zapper and the party was over. Wanting the best possible result, I didn’t cut corners on battery quality. The 4 Duracell D batteries were $10. The top of the unit holds the battery compartment the on-off switch, and the red and green light. Once the batteries were in, I dropped a 1” piece of sausage pizza in the open end, and turned it on. That’s all there was to it. I had a lot of experience with different kinds of bait from all the traps I’d tried and wasn’t a fan of peanut butter. That’s one reason I chose left-over pizza. When you turn it on, a green light flashes a few times letting you know it’s working and it doesn’t need new batteries. The front end of the unit is open. The back end is closed but vented. The vents let the rat smell the pizza from outside the back. I hold the unit upright so the pizza drops all the way to the back, preferably standing up against the vents on the back wall, so nothing prevents the rodent from walking all the way to the back. It’s a thrill when I see that red light blinking. The first time I walked by the rat zapper and saw the red light blinking. my eyes lit up, and I yelled, “it’s already killed a rat! You have to switch it off to make the red light stop blinking. So I turned it off, picked the unit up and saw a dead rat’s tail sticking out the back. You don’t see a tail sticking out when it’s a dead mouse inside. There’s plenty if room to hold the unit without getting anywhere near the rat. I dumped the rat out, tipped the unit up and dropped another torn off piece of sausage pizza in the back, and then turned it back on. It killed 6 rats and 7 mice in the first 48 hours. It says it will kill 60 rats before it needs new batteries. I chose this zapper because it kills both rats and mice, and it uses D batteries which should cause a stronger jolt than models using AA or C. Our rat and mouse problem was solved for less than I was spending every two weeks on the green pellets. We are all blown away by how well this thing works. Super easy to use, and affordable, it’s one of my favorite products of all time. Very highly recommend.

We have large rats, so glue traps are absolutely useless. Additionally, having poisons and/or poisoned rats laying around is not an option when you have indoor and outdoor pets and animals. We have these electric rat traps placed where the pets have no access, but the rats do. The first few days of use netted a rat every 1 to 2 hours or so, mostly due to the vacant lot next to my property, with dense foliage and fruit trees. After two weeks we were rat free for several months. Now, we’ll set one or two up when we detect a rat. After catching it, we’ll leave it out for a few days in case he had friends. Those are the pros of having these. The cons? We live in a high humidity climate, so these don’t last very long. If we’re lucky, 1 or 2 years max. Mind you, that these are kept indoors ie; the house and indoor storage spaces, so nowhere in the elements or where it’d get wet. At least, I’m hoping that’s the problem opposed to poor quality of the product. Either way, when the metal plates (the ones that give the rats a shock of their lives) start to show signs of rust, it doesn’t seem to last much longer than that. Doing anything to prevent the plates from rusting, would probably be counterproductive to its usefulness. For what this does, the pros outweigh the cons for us.

Frankly I suspected this fully walled and overhead cover might be a problem but I bought as there wasn't a single mention of this issue. It may not be a problem for you if you have a new infestation or young stupid rats, however I have had a long term issue and smart rats who have been exposed to a huge variety of traps and trap variations. They were not at all interested in entering this device no matter what I put in there. I tried filling the thing with stuff they liked and turning it off to see if they could be enticed to trust it. Even then they would not enter. However one rat stuck it's paw in the back holes to get at the goods. Experienced rats can be hard - if not impossible - to entice to enter anything that surrounds them and younger rats watch and copy their tactics. Mice seem more gullible but that's just a guess on my part. Next I bought some victor snaps traps which were more successful but even then apparently one rat observed and then went about setting off every single one of the second round of snap traps with not one catch or bait snatch. I've also seen a video of a rat with a stick, heading in to set off victor snap traps and then rob the goods. Such snaps are hard to set and not end up with a broken finger (imo---if you have big or strong hands and are agile you may fare well) but they work pretty well if you just set them up and surprise them, no bait needed---the FIRST time. Why? Because they do not have a roof or sides and are not initially seen as a trap. After that you are likely again beset with challenges tho some will still get stupid and forget or run over them if shocked or scared. If you have a long term issue then watch many videos and constantly vary your your technique and instruments and baits. Also close the door to do each room one at a time so others cannot see what the problem is, and be prepared for mostly injured, not dead rats with most traps; can't say about this one tho some reports say bait taken no rat found. And avoid second generation poisons as they off gas, are incredibly dangerous and kill wildlife (which you may hunt and eat) and pets. Such rats may die in your walls and stink to high heaven with no idea where they are; and roaches are immune but will spread the poison throughout your home endangering you, your kids and pets. The cdc considers such poisons extremely dangerous and Audubon abhors them and will tell you why in detail. If you have to use a glue trap then immediately put in a small bucket add some food grade oil and put bucket on side in release area. Watch carefully to avoid other animals getting caught. You want to be free of rats? Trap immediately and aggressively with live traps. Otherwise you will be forced to be brutal. I own a wild life habitat and all animals are connected in the wheel of life but maiming a rat just to release it or having it die a long slow death has been a difficult thing for me to do. So don't fart around, trap immediately and set about finding where they are getting in: attic, under house, check all vents, trees over houses, attic air exhausts/spinners, etc. and whether or not your plumber or other agent left access into your walls after working, all the while wearing a respirator and disposable uniform as rats carry highly dangerous diseases. Throw the clothes out and shower immediately after. Finish up with special enzymes that destroy all that nastiness. That is the real secret to resolving your problem permanently. There are many videos and much instruction out there. I wish you luck cause many of you will need it. It can cost plenty to have a pro fix your problem but your wiring, plumbing, artwork, clothes, drapery, couch, wooden furniture, fragile items, electronics etc can add up to a massive amount of funds. Oh well, you may never find out what happened to the frame, glass and last photo of a loved one, it's just gone forever. And be prepared for that cabinet that was closed all this time to find chaos in there. Take a tip: resolve it forever and simply maintain things like checking for dime to quarter sized holes or missing vent caps or loose hardware wire or pruning trees.

This product worked effectively for a short time. I thought it was a good product so I ordered another one. However before the second one arrived this one stopped working. I changed the batteries but no luck. Each night the bait was taken, the red light was on but no rat caught. Then the second on arrived and that did not work at all. So I will definitely not buy this product again.

have purchased 2 over the past year, first one worked well (5 rats) then stopped. I ordered another and a secondhand one was shipped with peanut butter or similar still inside. Returned it the day it arrived.
