Rat Zapper - Electric Mouse Traps Indoor for Home - Safe and Effective Rat Killer - Electronic Mouse Trap Zapper Reusable and No Touch - Rodent Killer Outdoors & Indoor

This works really well, especially if you clean up all other food sources. Basically if the rat goes in, he's not coming out.

When I first laid eyes on the Rat Zapper - Electric Rodent Killer, I was filled with hope and excitement. Its promise of an effective and humane solution to my rodent problem seemed like a dream come true. Little did I know that my experience with this contraption would be far from dream-like. Strap yourself in for a rollercoaster of emotions as I share my personal journey with the Rat Zapper.The Setup:After receiving the Rat Zapper, I eagerly unboxed it and read through the instructions. The setup seemed straightforward, and I quickly realized that it required bait to attract the rodents. Armed with a slice of cheese, I carefully placed it inside the trap, following the recommended guidelines. I felt confident that I had done everything right and waited eagerly for the magic to happen.The Electric Shock:Days turned into weeks, and my anticipation grew. Finally, one fateful night, I heard a rustling noise from the kitchen. I tiptoed in, excited to witness the Rat Zapper in action. To my surprise, the trap was empty, but the cheese was gone. It seemed that the rodent had outsmarted the device. Determined not to be defeated, I re-baited the trap and patiently waited for another encounter.The Mysterious Disappearances:As days went by, the Rat Zapper continued to disappoint. Each morning, I would wake up, rush to the trap, only to find it empty. It was as if the rats had become invisible or had developed ninja-like skills to avoid the trap. It felt like a comedy show, with the rodents mocking me from afar. I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation.The Unexpected Challenges:Aside from the Rat Zapper's inability to catch a single rodent, I encountered some unexpected challenges. The device required constant monitoring, as it was prone to false alarms. Countless times, I would rush to the trap, only to find a bug or a fallen object triggering the device. It became a game of "What's in the Trap?" rather than catching rats.The Safe & Clean Promise:One of the main selling points of the Rat Zapper was its promise of being safe and clean. However, I found that it fell short of these claims. The trap emitted a pungent odor that lingered in the air long after use. Additionally, disposing of the rodent carcass was far from the sanitary experience I had envisioned. It was messy and unpleasant, leaving me to question the supposed cleanliness of this product.The Final Verdict:In the end, my experience with the Rat Zapper - Electric Rodent Killer left me feeling frustrated and disappointed. Its lack of effectiveness, coupled with false alarms and unpleasant odors, made it a regrettable purchase. As I sit here writing this review, I can't help but chuckle at the sheer absurdity of the situation. If you're looking for an amusing and laughter-filled adventure in rodent control, then the Rat Zapper might just be the product for you. However, if you actually want to catch mice or rats effectively and without hassle, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere.Conclusion:In the world of rodent control, the Rat Zapper - Electric Rodent Killer falls short of its promises. From its failed attempts to catch rodents to the unexpected challenges and less-than-sanitary experiences, my journey with this device was nothing short of a comedy act. While it may have provided some laughs, I cannot recommend it to anyone serious about effectively eliminating rodent problems. Save your money and avoid this rollercoaster of disappointment.

I think my photos will violate guidelines, Amazon rarely approves my honest reviews.This works, and it works well. Follow the instructions folks. Bait it a few days without batteries in it, let those critters get used to a warm, cozy space for snacks, then, on about the fifth night, put those batteries in and let em fry!!!! Dump them in a bag, toss in the trash, put on some gloves and use LONG swabs soaked in hydrogen peroxide to clean it up and reset for another five days or so ... you will be zapping those critters for days on days on days! Eventually, they stop coming around.UPDATE - the Rat Zapper stopped working, Amazon sent a replacement, I set it up tonight on 1/11/24 and the red light flashed, so I took the batteries out, checked to make sure they were in correctly, red light still flashed. Amazon put me in contact with the seller, because they arlready replaced one defective one, and they wouldn't replace it, it's got a one year warranty on it, so hopefully they will send another one.IF THEY aren't defective, this is the ONLY way to go!

I moved from the city to a very rural area about 6 months ago and have had the opportunity to try out numerous mouse traps from April - to Now almost November. The property I am on now has a fairly large old chicken coop / outbuilding that was full of mouse droppings when we moved in. We sprayed the place down with a diluted bleech solution and got rid of the mouse poops. I then purchased a bunch of the small, black 'plastic' snap traps, loaded them up with peanut butter and set up 3 per day in this building. I was averaging about 12 dead mice per week with that method.As the season progressed into summer and now fall, the mice stopped going for those traps, but I knew we still had an issue. Same as before, I would load up the spring traps, various kinds, with peanut butter and in the morning when I'd go to check the traps I noticed they were all getting set off/tripped, but the peanut butter was gone, and no mouse in the trap. I wasn't sure why at the time, but my tried and true (and cheap) method for eliminating mice was no longer working. I refuse to use glue traps or poisons for reasons I don't need to get into on this particular review.I've only used this electronic trap for about 30 hours now. At some point last night the biggest mouse I've ever seen tried to get to the 2 or 3 pieces of dry dog food I placed at the end of the trap and he met his maker. I have trapped and killed hundreds of mice on this property and have never in my life seen a field mouse this large. All of my questions are now answered.This trap just plain works. There are a few downsides though.- You are only going to kill 1 mouse per day typically so the 'cost per kill' is high.- Placing the bait isn't that easy if you are used to using peanut butter. It's all the way in the back of the tunnel with no easy way to get the peanut butter back there. Dry dog food or sunflower seeds are going to be my 'go to' bait with this one.- cost of batteries - D cells aren't cheap. You may want to invest in some rechargeable ones.- cleaning the inside of the trap - when needed / if desired, is a bit cumbersome to say the least.5 stars for killing the biggest mouse I've seen in my 50 years on this planet the first night I placed it.Edit - 2+ months later, the original batteries are still working. I've killed a dozen mice with this since my original review. This includes kills in sub zero temps. Best mouse trap I own.

These were great last year, and I caught lots of mice and one pack rat on my porch, so when they seemed to work no longer, I did not hesitate to replace them - a good system and easy to use. However, the 2 new ones have not lasted even for a month with only 2 catches before the lights won't go on. This is a great idea, but expensive to maintain by continually changing batteries after one catch this year. I hope someone can invent something similar that does not need constant replacement of the 4 batteries per unit, and that will ultimately not stop working or having the lights not work.
