5.0 out of 5 starsZAP DEAD!
September 20, 2017
Originally bought the large sticky traps and the rat just ate the food and left footprints in them. I have electronic mouse traps but this one turned out to be a rat so big that he just pushed them around trying to get the food in the back. But the smaller ones work great for field mice ZAP! So I decided to go with what I know and buy a large electric trap. This guy was making a home in my $120,000 Corvette engine and was peeing on the supercharger, dragging the dogs toys into the engine to nest and stockpiling food so obviously he was a must kill first time. This morning (conveniently trash day) I came out to beeping and the LED on the cord (very nice touch) was flashing. ZAP, DEAD! Great product for large rodents. Pretty overkill if you just have field mice.

No customer support! In all fairness it did kill two rodents in the 10 days I had it set up but it kept beeping even when there wasn't a rodent inside. We would go outside and check the trap and it would be empty so we would turn it off and on and put it back. After day three of this I looked for contact information on the box or on the instructions but there was none. I spent over an hour trying to find contact information on line but nothing. What I did find were people with the same beeping issue. The general idea is great and it can be an effective kill chamber but before I order a different one I am going to make sure whichever one I order has contact information for customer questions. These people didn't even respond to Amazon's request.

The Stah
2.0 out of 5 starsHit and miss and I worry about safety of it not knowing it's killed one.
December 18, 2017
Verified Purchase
I have mixed feelings on this. I have the Victor version of this which is MUCH better, but packed away somewhere.

This has worked for me but I have had three oddities.

A while back when I first used it it was tucked away under a table and I had the indicator visible. Came in day after day thinking "really I didn't catch one?" Finally, I picked it up to see if they stole the bait. There was a dead mouse in it. The unit never beeped or lit up the indicator LED. Thought that part of the circuit was faulty. Several days later I caught another mouse and it was beeping as soon as I walked into the building and the indicator was lit up. So you could potentially have a rotting mouse in the trap.

Now today I came in and found two mice in it. You might think this is good but unless they both went into the trap together it didn't know it had already killed one. Which makes me wonder about the shocking circuit. With a dead mouse laying across the terminals is it not still trying to shock it? It is completing the circuit so that should be what is happening in my opinion. It can't tell the difference between the first dead mouse and the new mouse that comes in if I'm thinking about this right. The Victor unit rotated and dropped the dead mouse into a catch tray and auto reset.

The third issue, later this morning I reset the trap and could hear one working his way around. Then all of a sudden a loud mouse shriek and I immediately thought, GOT HIM! Only to hear him running around behind some boxes and away from the trap. So that means it didn't even kill him. Mind you I have the unit plugged in to the power adapter provided. The trap also didn't indicate for some time and then let out a beep after about 5-10 mins. But no indicator stayed on and it didn't keep beeping. I thought maybe I got one and a 2nd mouse was running away. Checked the trap and it's empty. So the mouse a little bit after that and he's as healthy as can be. Mice aren't stupid, so he may never go back to that trap again now that he got a zap.

So I'm giving this a 2-star review. It's worked, it's not worked and it's indicator system has been even more all over the place.

I recommend spending the extra money for the Victor unit (it's shaped like a barn and has some little stairs leading to the shocking compartment. This also prevents other mice from observing their friends getting killed and them associating the trap with death. They just go in and don't come out. I've yet to see/hear one escape this trap and it safely kills multiple mice as it auto resets (says up to 10). I've never found one dead in the top still on the shock pads. That unit I definitely give a 5 out of 5.

2.0 out of 5 starsI'M JUST SAYING ... MAYBE NOT FOR SQUIRRELS, PERHAPS?!
December 15, 2017
Verified Purchase
Purchased this product to address my squirrel challenges in the attic and replace the aluminum traps that I could only use once. Easy set-up and the optional power sources. So far, I'm guessing, this device has proven to be a squirrel feeder with a little "hot sauce" or little kick. I have baited the trap with peanut butter between two (2) Ritz crackers on several occasions since I purchased the product. It has been used with batteries and, at present, sits plugged up into the electrical outlet (via heavy duty extension cord). Either the unit is disintegrating the snack or the squirrels are lifting up the device, letting the snack slide out and then feasting. Either way, the snack is disappearing and the squirrels are still hanging around. It did include squirrels in the information. I will try placing a little weight on top to ensure the squirrels are not tipping it over to empty it. I will keep trying and update.

Rats are scared of it but not another brand. Two rats caught in the other in one night, 0 in this one since I got it. They go up to it and then run away like they can feel/hear that it's on.

Had it plugged in to power for 3 days. Red light was flashing to show it was armed. Personally watched rodents (mice & squirrels) walk right in, eat the bait (and also steal it) and walk right out unharmed. Not even a shock. Baby squirrel walked right in, took the dixie cup of peanut butter and bird seed and sauntered across my patio with cup in it's teeth.

2.0 out of 5 starsNot working for me
November 11, 2017

So I bought this hoping it would the answer to my mouse problems. It wasn’t. I’ve had it a few weeks now and have not caught a single mouse. There are foot prints inside the trap with a sliding mark which I think means it shocked one, But there’s only one of those.

I have tried it on different outlets but with the same effect. The unit lights and flashes as expected.

Anyway, I leave it plugged in in hopes it will eventually catch something, but I have move back to snap traps.

July 16, 2017

Bought this in 2017. Was so happy to get rid of rats from the golf course. It stopped working, I set it up and then it just beeps, saying that it caught a rat. I left it alone for a month and then set it up again and same thing again. Looked up trying to return but it said it was past the return date. Getting frustrated b/c I bought another brand and it hasn't worked either. Was hoping maybe the company would see this and send me another. Aloha and happy exterminating

2.0 out of 5 starsFlawed. Best if used inside a structure.

Well. It killed one mouse. Which is one less, but it has a flaw. When the weather is foggy it sets the trap off and drains all the power from the batteries. So it’s in the garage which doesn’t have mice. Disappointed. Will move on to other traps.

2.0 out of 5 starsRodents went in, grabbed the bait, left without getting shocked
July 25, 2017
Verified Purchase
Rodents were able to go in, grab bait, and leave without being shocked. Unit is definitely on, currently powered by batteries. Note however that I am using loose bait, so it's not like peanut butter. I am unsure if this item depends on the rodent sticking around for a few seconds or not.

It kills them, IF you can get them to go in it which we cannot. We have tried different foods, different locations and have yet to get one. We have the mouse one too and got 2 mice and then same problem- cannot get them to go in it.
