The Victor Electronic Rat Trap is the ultimate in rodent control. It works by delivering a humane, high-voltage shock to kill rats and mice that enter the chamber. This powerful device is capable of killing up to 35 rats per set of fully charged batteries (4 AA), making it a great value for sizeable infestations. It’s also easy to use. Simply apply a small amount of bait on the rear shock plate, turn the trap on, and place it along the wall near signs of rodent activity. After a catch, an LED light blinks green, so you know when it’s time to empty the trap without having to check the chamber. In case of false triggers, this trap is designed with an automatic re-arming feature so the trap can be triggered again without you needing to reset it. For your convenience, the trap’s design allows for No-See, No-Touch rodent disposal. When the batteries are low, the LED light will flash red.
Humane, High-Voltage Shock - Once inside, the circuit triggers a high-voltage shock, humanely killing the rat
For Indoor Use - Place the trap along the wall in areas of your home or business where you've seen rodent activity
Improved design: easy to bait, easy to clean
Kills up to 35 rats per set of four AA batteries
Green LED light lets you know when there's a catch
Requires 4 "AA" batteries (not included)

Title: This Victor trap works well for mice.
Review: After researching a lot of different mouse traps, we finally tried this electronic trap. I originally tried the Rinne Flip N Slide Bucket lid no-kill mouse traps where the mouse climbs on top of a 5 gallon bucket (not included) to reach a bait and falls through the trap floor which flips down into the bucket. There are a lot of knock offs out there that may work well, but I bought the original Rinne trap and it just didn't work for us. We had two set up in our basement where there was mouse activity and we did catch one mouse, but it escaped every time and that's because the trap floor, when closed, is not flush with the yellow lid and apparently the mouse can escape through small gaps. We put small pieces of almond in the back of the trap floor so the only way the mouse could reach it, was to walk back and the trap floor would flip down and the mouse would fall into the bucket. Twice the almonds were gone and we peeked in the bucket and saw mouse poop but no mouse.So I gave in and looked for an electronic trap that would at least humanely kill the mouse quickly. This Victor trap is very easy to use and set up. You just put in four AA batteries (you could use rechargeable batteries but we used regular to try it out) in the top compartment which slides open. Then you put bait in the back of the unit. The instructions say to put peanut butter through the holes in the back of the unit. But the cleaning instructions say not to get the metal plates inside wet. I don't see how you can easily clean the unit without risking getting the plates wet. Especially when using peanut butter. Instead, we just put a small piece of cheese in the back. The power switch is on the top and after you turn it on, it will blink green a few times and then go dark and remain dark. When the trap catches a mouse, the green light will blink until you turn it off and remove the mouse. Note: When the trap has a mouse and blinks green, the green light blinks slowly, not nearly as fast as when you first turn it on. It's about 9 seconds between blinks. So if you're quickly checking on the trap from a distance, you should look at it for a while to see if it the green light blinks. Or, just go up to the trap and look inside because one end of the trap is completely open.On the second night, we got a mouse. So it works and I'm ordering a second unit to put in another room in our basement.Update: After setting up the second unit (both in the basement), we have caught a total of seven mice. So the traps are working consistently.

Title: Rats love this device
Review: Piece of junk. Rat is coming inthe armed trap, eating some peanut butter, and leaving a tip. Victor’s only advice was to keep trying. No refund, no replacement. Just happy to sell a green LED rat restaurant to people. The older model worked great. The double AA model is useless. Don’t touch it.

Title: Works great
Review: While cleaning our garage we noticed small animal droppings. We weren’t sure if they were rat or mouse droppings. I am not a fan of the snap rat traps and the mess they can create. After finding this trap, I simply placed some peanut butter inside of it and placed it in an area where I saw the droppings. The next day there was a dead mouse on the trap. I tossed the mouse in the trash and put the trap back. I caught four mice in about a week time frame. The blinking light seems to not work and tell me if I’ve caught anything, but it is easy enough to pick the trap up and visually check. Overall a great product.

Title: So good, it must have scared the mice away...
Review: This purchase started while watching "We're the Millers." Oddly enough, just after the scene where Kenny gets bitten by the spider, I saw something moving across the floor in my basement in a odd pattern. For whatever reason, I though it was a big ol' spider and tried to find it. Whatever it was, it had concealed itself underneath my TV stand, so I grabbed a flashlight and started looking for it. Finally, I discover that, rather than a hairy spider, it was a tiny mouse. After a few minutes, it scooted out and hid under some other furniture in the basement, and I was able to scoop it up into a dog bowl and cover the bowl so it couldn't escape. It was a tiny mouse, probably a baby. As I went to release it out the back door, I discovered another baby mouse by the back door, so I scooted it out the door, too. Once the first two were out the door, I began my research and saw that mice typically have litters of around six, but up to 12 mice. Sure enough, about 30 minutes later, I find a third baby mouse in the basement. Now I"m convinced I have a serious problem, with another 3 baby mice probably around somewhere, plus a mother and maybe a father. It's peculiar, because I haven't seen any signs of mice in the house previously. I get rid of the third mouse (this one gets a flight off the back deck after I offered to show it to my wife, but she wasn't interested.)So I did my research on Amazon for solutions and saw several options - the traditional snap trap and various humane options. I kind of liked the idea of sending mice down the Green Mile, so I settled on these given the positive reviews and quick results that seemed to be reporting. So I ordered two. Well, actually, four because I apparently placed the order twice. The next day, they showed up thanks to Prime shipping. One small issue, I didn't have enough batteries to load up all four, so after getting the Skippy peanut butter (fewer chemicals than the store brand reduced sugar that later gave my wife an allergic reaction), I prepared the traps according to the manual. They were easy to unpack, prepare and deploy. In accordance with the instructions, I placed them around the basement along walls triangulating where I had encountered two of my three little visitors. After putting them out in the evening, I retired for the night and anxiously came back downstairs in the morning, expecting to find another mouse or two had shuffled off this mortal coil. Alas, no flashing LEDs on the traps to tell me I've succeeded in this particular Mouse Hunt. Day after day, I go through the same process each morning, thinking I might find a victim in the traps, but, alas, each day I'm left disappointed. On the positive side, however, I haven't found any signs of mice in the basement, nor have I spotted any.So long story short, they're easy to set up and prepare, they're relatively innocuous, and there's no evidence of mice ignoring the traps. Old Sparky may work, but I haven't been successful yet.

Title: Actuallyworking great with 4 AA baterr
Review: Killing like described. At first I thought it didn't work bc a mouse hollered out but got away. Turns out we didn't put the peanut butter far enough back so the mouse was able to just grab it off. So the next time (actually 3 mice down) we just put very, very little peanut butter at the back and that little bit has fried 3 mice so far. Would recommend definitely!

Title: Now using 4AA Batteries
Review: I had purchased one of these traps several years ago.They used c cell batteries, four of them.This unit uses. This unit also does not have a compartment to load the bait.You have to reach in to bait it.We haven’t caught anything with it so far, but will update the review if or when we do.So far this unit is not worth the money.

Customers say
