We apologize for any confusion! If the trap is flashing green when turned on, the trap is armed and ready. While the trap will often buzz as well, th...

Simple, quick, quiet and humane rat trap

Would Recommend

I liked the instructions, they were easy to understand. The product was easy to setup. It was quick and quiet. Disposal was just as easy. The only thing I didn't realize until purchase was that you do need to purchase 4 C Batteries. I spent about $50 between trap and batteries. A little more than I was expecting, but quite frankly with the ease of use, capture and disposal, it made up for the price.

Poor quality

Would Not Recommend

The top would not fit evenly and there was peanut butter all over the trap.

Gets the job done

Would Recommend

Watched it firsthand take a mouse out. Was a very quick and overall clean kill. Afterwards it’s easy to dispose of the carcass. Setup is simple. Ensure it is switched off, place the bait into the directed area, install the batteries, switch it on and let it do its thing. Had a mouse that got into my home. Was at Lowes within the hour, and a short while later the problem was taken care of.

One Hit Wonder

Would Not Recommend

It worked amazing the very first night, but after the catch, the light never stops blinking. I turned it off and removed the batteries, and still somehow it blinks. I thought perhaps it would still catch rats, but it’s been a couple weeks with nothing but the constant green blink. This is too expensive for something that only works one time.

Looks nice and like it should work. Cool

It's a good looking trap but in my opinion; it's over priced. It's been baited and placed for a week now with no results.

Worked well once we changed the bait

Would Recommend

I set this up, and after weeks of no activity using peanut butter I gave up on it working, purchased a poison bait station, I left this electric trap up. We eventually caught one and the elimination appeared to be quick and painless as advertised. Eventually we learn something that may help you. The peanut butter didn't seem to be really attracting the rodents. Once we realized that they really like Doritos Cool ranch chips, and added some little flakes to the peanut butter bait, we started ca...

Mouse Electric Chair

Would Recommend

Easy to load with PB for bait (improvement over an older model) works great easy disposal of casualties, but I assume they die super quickly which makes me feel better.
