 Have Not Caught Any Mice in Over Two Months April 28, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have tried this in various locations in my flat but caught nothing.
I had no problems with fitting the batteries and the unit charges with the light and buzzing noise described on the side.
I have tried using peanut butter and rolos as bait (separately) but not had any take. I have found droppings very close to the trap.
I have resorted to using little nippers (where rolo as bait has worked) in combination with poison from the local authority pest control unit, after months of stuffing holes with wire wool and expanding foam, and trying ultrasonic and ultrasonic/electromagnetic plugs to no avail.
I understand some of the comments about the inhumanity, but when the problem is persistent and the sound of the mice wakes you at night repeatedly then you have to find something effective to deal with the problem.

I think this product is inhuman and cruel, rat and mice dont ask to be born but they are so treat them with respect, imagin how you would feel to die in pain by such a vile contraption. There are human ways to rid a space from Rodants.... put down 'Cayanne Pepper' they won't return again.

I must confess to being being sceptical about this product at first, which I bought on another site to deal with a mouse problem at a family member's home. However, none of the people in my family like handling mice - a bit phobic in fact - so I was attracted by the generally positive reviews, and the suggestion that you don't have to see or handle the dead rodent's body when disposing. Anyway, I baited the zapper with peanut butter and set it down Saturday evening, went away, and returned to my family member's home Sunday morning - the result? One dead critter, easily disposed of! I reset the device and again returned the next day to find another dead mouse that had received the 'San Quentin' Treatment....We've put down poison as well to deal with the overall rodent problem but have ordered another zapper as so far so good. Most traps are unreliable - the mice ignored them - but this one is proving effective. Highly recommended.

I stumbled across this product on amazon looking for something else, and felt I needed to give my input, given my amazing experience with this product. It is incredibly simple to set up, simply put 2 C-type batteries, wipe on some peanut butter on the perforated end plate, and that's it! I waited a total of 3 hours, just 3 hours!, before that troublesome mouse was 'taken care of.' There's a blinking LED that let's you know when it on, and if killed a pest. When exterminating the mouse, the noise is a bit of a shock, in the you'll probably hear a quick squeak, and a succession of electronic vibrations. I have to say though, way back when, seeing my mother kill mice with a mouse trap, this HAS TO BE much more humane. The rig is setup that once the mouse is in and eating the peanut butter, there's absolutely no way the mouse will exit with pain. The mouse will definitely be dead, and within a matter of seconds (3, 4 seconds?). Standard snapping mice trap on the other hand may not accurately get the mouse by collapsing its vital organs... not cool. Trust me, this device is reusable, fullproof, and very easy to set up.
Oh yeah, and once the mouse is dead, you just need to tilt the device, and out comes the mouse into your rubbish bin. No direct handling.
5 stars all the way.
Brilliant for mice! February 20, 2008

Having read in the mouse trap reviews that this unit was far better, I decided to purchase one of them. It arrived promptly on a Thursday.
The batteries are a pain to install, as suggested elsewhere here, and the battery cover is a joke. I found that the best way to get the batteries in is to start with the spring end (-ve) ones first. They have to be pushed firmly to get them through the clips. Then put the base ends of the other batteries in so they rest against the top (+ve) end of the first ones and lever them in so they compress the spings and you can then get the top (+ve) cap down into the compartment!
I baited mine with a lump of bread roll as my mice had been ignoring peanut butter and cheese etc on my conventional traps for weeks! Placed against a wall where I knew they ran and a few crumbs trailed into the entrance to lead them in. Switch on and the green LED flashes briefly to show it's working. This was Thurs evening.
Fri morning, came down, periodic slow green flashing LED (about 10 secs between) 1 dead mouse, zapped against the end wall of it. Was in a rush, so emptied it out and dumped the unbaited unit back on the floor and switched it back on. Fri pm, another dead mouse, with no bait! Re-baited with bread roll, out on the beer! Sat lunchtime - 3 dead mice!! Re-baited, watched 1st Rugby international - another dead mouse! Re-baited again, watched 2nd Rugby international - yet another one! 7 in 2 days!! No more since then but no more signs of them either. The unit has been left switched on since then (now 2 1/2 weeks) and it appears to still be working fine on the same set of batteries. Very impressed!
