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.

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.
