Works!

Would Recommend

I was looking for a trap to kill mice humanly. They are in my walls. I cut a inch square hole in the drywall and put the opening to the trap snuggly up to it. Found 2 dead mice in it the next morning.

See above

The problem with the trap is it gives off electric decibels, I can hear it, and the rats can hear it too, these are Norway rats (in Florida), they will not touch it. Wish I had my money back? These are very intelligent rats, they will leave at the smallest sound.

Not reliable- waste of money

Would Not Recommend

I bought several Victor electric traps and they worked well for the first 1-2 kills. However they stop working soon after that. They would not turn on or off. Also the plates inside will corrode and get dirty with no way to clean them. I lost Hundreds on traps. I placed them in storage due to covid and called company for resolution. They said it was out of 1 year waranty and nothing they could do. Buyer be ware. These trap are a waste of money if you intend to keep them longer than a yea...

Interesting design. Effective

Would Recommend

It takes out more roaches than mice, but for an area with infestation it definitely works.

Didn’t work

Would Not Recommend

I just watched a rat go in mine and come right back out. Did I do something wrong? I have peanut butter in the bait trap.

After a month of chasing this rat, we got him.

Would Recommend

I was desperate. I've had old wooden traps, the newer Victor Power trap, poison, the works and for a month I've had snapped traps and he ate the poison like candy and nothing happened (other than he chewed up plastic water bottles). This very day he hit the wooden trap and it still didn't kill him (video shows he was thrown all over but didn't catch him)...after that he went after the dab of peanut butter in the back of this electric trap. When I got home the blinking light caught my attentio...

Rat finally zapped

Would Recommend

I was going to post a video of the rat walking into the trap but it would not allow me to post a video. This rat was driving me crazy. I have this rat twice setting off the snap traps and getting away. I put the Victor trap up in the attic and I was giving up hope. It took a week and he finally got the courage to enter. Zap. It was a jolt and done. Picture not too good. Wish I could’ve posted a video. I put peanut butter and a peanut in the bait door. I’m told Slim Jim’s and Gummi Bears work to...
