Electrocute your rats.

Would Recommend

This trap kills rats fast. New trap with small piece of cookie as bait placed on most distal metal plate caught first rat in 30 min. Dumped rat, bait was gone, therefore there was another rat out there. New bait, 2 hours later another dead rat. Trap then stopped working. (No more buzzing when switched on.) bait kept disappearing no more dead rats. Previously had great results with earlier version of this trap. Peanut butter never works as bait with this trap. disappearing

Works Well

Would Recommend

I got one of these at the advice of my brother in law who got one earlier. It does exactly as advertised. When done, no mess, no fuss, just turn it off, remove the batteries, tilt the trap and let the critter slip into a waiting empty trash bag.

Didn't work

Would Not Recommend

I don't think the device ever fully came online. The green light would light briefly and go off. I'll return it tomorrow.

Rat ate good, TRAP was USELESS

Would Not Recommend

Tried everything. Peanut Butter, dog food etc... followed instructions and each night the trap was empty, licked clean and no catch. I have it all on video tape and never worked. Yes, the batteries were brand new and it made the buzzing nosie when turned on but never worked. VERY Disappointed. Image attached. You can literally See the Rat all the way into the back of trap with his eyes glowing as he eats the Peanut Butter. No zap.

Zaps Rats Really Well

Would Recommend

Rats moved into my house up my water pipes and became a real problem. They were too smart for snap traps and poison bait. I had trapped two inside my house when I patched up the entry points. I bought 2 of these rat electric chambers. Each one uses 4 C batteries so they are cordless and can be placed wherever the rats frequent. The bait is added to a bait door in the back. The instructions recommend no more than a "pea sized amount" of bait. I put a pea sized amount of peanut butter in both. Whe...

Worth Every Penny!

Would Recommend

FIrst I want to thank the store employee who suggested this to me! I have been worried about poisoning the rats and didn’t want to hurt birds of prey, snakes or other critters but was sick of Rats destroying my property. I have nick-named this product the Murder Box. Lol! When they come in to take part in the meal I provide them, they are electrocuted. Bam! Dead right there! Then I put their little carcuss in the green belt so some other critter can have a little snack. Best money I have spent i...

Twice as good

Would Recommend

This trap has scored 18 rats and one double. Well worth the money. Found Walnuts work best around my area. A few crumbs outside an a half inside and zap.

Rats, mice and squirrels

Would Recommend

Usually get two every day from 2 traps. Need to vary the bait every few days, they get used to smell and stay away. Easy to dissemble and clean.

Stupid design

Would Not Recommend

This is supposed to allow you a trap where you don't have to see the dead animal, yet on the "closed" end, there are 4 huge holes that force you to see everything. I don't even understand what the holes are there for. Also, the light didn't blink frequently enough so the rat apparently sat there for 2 days before I knew something was in it even after checking daily. Had to throw the hole trap away by then as it was a horrible mess. Wasted $55 on trap and new batteries.

Killed the Enemy on the 1st Try!

Would Recommend

Used poison pellets as well as non-lethal traps prior to this. I went to Lowes and bought Victor and after the first night mission accomplished!!! So easy and I will continue to use moving forward.

Tango Down

Would Recommend

Caught this guy playing in my backyard. He came from the woods behind my yard. Tried the sticky traps and the Tom cat black plastic traps. All of them walked off with the rat on the first night I put them out. This rig took him out in 5 minutes literally. Don’t buy anything else. This is expensive but by the time you waste money on all of the cheaper alternatives your in the same boat. This thing works. Tango Down!!

Cat food is great bait

Would Recommend

We thought we had a friend in our garage sharing our cat’s food. My dog confirmed it one night that resulted in a disastrous mess, and no friend in hand. We decided to get some mice baits, but after a few days found that our friend wasn’t eating the bait...but our dog still wanted into the garage. we then tried the sticky traps and this. The first night, we put this near our cat food dish, and put sticky traps around other areas in garage that had droppings. The next morning we had a large ...
