excellent rat trap

Would Recommend

This works great Have had a rat problem in my garage for a month. I've tried other traps that didn't work. First night I placed it where I'd seen droppings it worked. Set it 5 nights in a row and removed 5 rats. They were smaller rats, body was 3-6 inches long. Have loaned it to my neighbor who has had success 2 nights. I was hesitant to buy due to the cost but it worked. Not sure how big rats can get. I will continue to set this at least once a week. Easy to set up, easy to remove r...

Believer

Yes, I’m a believer! I bought this trap July 4, 2019. I saw a rat and headed straight to Lowe’s. I so wanted a catch it that night but no can do. As with any new device, you get excited from the prospect. I got up every morning looking and nothing. I still believed that it was a good device. I kept it on and the same bait in it and forgot about it. I assumed the rat was dead already. Today, 8-2-19, I had a catch. Easy and clean. The rat was completely in the trap. Nothing but a tail was visible...

Rat trap

Would Not Recommend

Well the item is as specified but the area to place the bait is tiny. I don’t think it interests the rats enough to walk in

It Works!

Would Recommend

We have had a rat in our attic for a few weeks and the rat was too smart to get caught in any wooden snap trap. I bought this Victor Electronic Rat Trap and put peanut butter on the bait door and set it in the attic. We got him the first night! It is worth every cent of it's $39.95 price if a rat can be caught before they do extensive damage to A/C ducts and wiring. My neighbor had a family of rats in her attic and they did $1,500.00 worth of damage. Since more than one rat could be in the ...

works great!

Would Recommend

I have tried poison, old fashioned wooden trap, and the trap that puts a ring around the critter to kill it. This is the ONLY thing that has worked. I have caught a mouse and a rat in it. Very pleased.

Will it kill mice.

Would Recommend

I will kill them. I used it in my garage last night and the green light was blinking this morning. I had to look inside, but there he was. Dead. This trap gets them even when other traps fail to work. It is a little expensive, but it is cheap compared to the damage a mouse can do to a car in one night. The directions are easy for most people. The batteries go in a certain way and it has to be turned on to work.

Looks like it will work

Would Recommend

The trap arrived on time. Was easy to set up. Simple to operate. I can't say if it works, as I haven't caught a rat in it. I'm hoping that's because the one I caught previously was a loner! But it gives me peace of mind to know that the trap is here and operational. But I did learn something disconcerting about rats: Did you know they can restart their hearts after electrocution? Thankfully, this trap gives them too long a zap to give them that chance...

Did not work, waste of money

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this device and placed a small piece of bread with peanut butter in the trap. I check the trap every morning and on the third day I found the bread outside the trap and no dead rat. Complete waste or money.
