Works great

Would Recommend

This really works! Got 5 small ones within the first week. And never see any since then. Easy to operate. Just dont forget to check out some C batteries with it.

Total failure

Would Not Recommend

Rat is the Pacific Northwest must be very smart. With fresh batteries, using peanut butter & later a piece bagel (the rat developed a liking to bagels) , the rat avoided the trap. Used locations along its route, on of the cabinets it liked to no avail. Going to return this waste of money.

We recommend placing some bait on the outside of the trap by the entrance. This will help entice the rat to enter the trap.Was this Review Helpful ?

Humane way to say goodbye to unwanted vermin!

Would Recommend

I was looking for something as humane as possible to rid my home of rats that had taken over my attic. Even as annoying and destructive as they are, I love all animals and would never want them to suffer. I decided to try this unit as my go to so I could spare the expense of an exterminator. It is extremely easy to use and takes approximately 2 minutes to prepare. The first night I set it up, it was successful. One down-two to go. In the end, I don’t have a vermin problem any longer, and I knew ...

Useless

Would Not Recommend

Useless as mammary appendages on a male porcine! After a week, I bought the Victor mouse traps with the metal bait bar. I had previously tried the ones with the plastic bait bar and found them an excellent way to feed peanut butter to mice! I had to watch a youtube video on how to set a mousetrap without getting your fingers, but I have now caught 6 mice. Disposal is not a problem. My cat loves them! One mouse appears to be smart enough to eat the peanut butter without setting off the trap. I tr...

Best Rodent Trap Available!

Would Recommend

I live out in the country where the rodents grow BIG! This rodent trap kills them, big & small. Quick, efficient kill. Empty it out by tipping the device without having to touch any critters!

Wasted money

Would Not Recommend

With as much as this thing cost, I was fooled into believing that it would work.. It cost about $40. Plus 4 C batteries ran any $15. I had to replace the peanut butter twice, which means the rats go in, eat the peanut butter and leave. It's to total waste of money. The olden style dangerous rat traps that nearly snap off a finger setting them, are your best bet. I tried this electric one in the garage and outside where I've seen rats before, and it just doesn't work.

Didn't work at all

The rats take the bait and don't get zapped. yes, it's on. they don't work and I didn't save the boxes so I might be SOL to return them.

Would Recommend

This was my the second one of these that I have purchased. They work really GREAT. Almost no mess to clean and dump. Seem to work on fairly large rats to very small mice. They are a bit expensive - But should last for ever

I wish I could give 0 stars.

Would Not Recommend

Please don’t waste your money on this. If you want to be able to watch a rat walk in and out of this trap a few times before it finally shocks it just enough to stun it then get back up, then this is for you. I read the instructions correctly, used new batteries a few different times and the results just never changed. So if you want a expensive paperweight that all of the rats will tell their friends about. This is for you.
