Summary: Rodent control, small farm 2008-08-17
Comment: Have multiple units in barn & out buildings. Average 5 - 6 rodents on a set of batteries. Instructions reccomend using penut butter as bait, have found that poultry feed works much better. Will purchase additional units as required. Have found that this unit works far better than the more expensive "Rat-Zapper".

Summary: This thing works! 2008-07-31
Comment: It was about 1 a.m. when I was getting ready to go to sleep, and all of sudden I see a little rodent run across my room. It freaked me out. I looked for it trying to shoo it out but it's as if it disappeared (i.e. it was hiding very well), so I had a hard time going to sleep since I've heard rodents are nasty and carry diseases. That same day, later in the afternoon, I bought this trap from a local hardware store for $43.99+tax, and I set the trap. I used about a teaspoon of chunky peanut butter (though the manufacturer says that rats have a very good sense of smell and I only need to put about a dime sized amount). I tried to make sure that the peanut butter was inside and not outside the trap ((though not on the floor of the trap), because I didn't want the rat to eat the peanut butter from the outside, get a minor shock and get trained not to come near the trap again. At about 8 a.m. this morning I heard the thing zapping for about 15 seconds or so. When it stopped zapping I thought it had not caught anything because the little green light wasn't on, and the box says the green light will be on for 24 hrs. after a kill. I had to shine a flashlight in there to see that there was a little baby rat in there. The trap looks like it could fit an adult sized rat. I turned off the trap, picked it up, and threw the rat in the trash. Even though it wasn't bloody and I didn't have to touch it, it was still DISGUSTING!
I figured the rat had initially entered my room when it smelled the box of cookies sitting on my desk and gone either through under the door or from the window where the AC is where there is at least an inch gap for it to go through. So I sealed that up with tape. I recommend sealing possible points of entry after killing the rats. Oh and remove/seal up whatever food they might have been interested in the first place ASAP(I put the cookies away). I'm glad that thing is gone now. I woke up with a fresh scratch on my arm which I'm pretty sure came from the rat. Oh so gross! I called the manufacturer and she says I cannot reuse the peanut butter that fell on the metal plate (the trap floor) because the electric current may not work as well with the peanut butter on the plate, so I have to clean out that peanut butter. I'm not looking forward to that since I'm scared of getting shocked, but it's better than having a rat in my room. I don't think there are anymore, but we'll see...
I read some of the other reviews saying people got shocked removing or inserting? the batteries so it would be nice if the on/off button was labeled on/off, just for extra precaution, but in the mean time, we just have to make sure that the thing is actually off before touching any of the metal portions.
Anyway, in sum, this thing works.

Summary: excellent for mice 2008-07-19
Comment: I tried a variety of traps for mice. This is the only one that worked. My first one caught about a dozen mice over the course of several years, and then broke down. I replaced it-it's well worth the money.

Summary: Shocked by poor design 2008-05-27
Comment: The undersized battery compartment required both hands to insert batteries. Switch was on, and an arc shot from battery compartment to my right hand. Lucky I wasn't killed. Bad circuit design. Set off by tiny bugs, etc., but won't stop charging and discharging into tiny bug until $5.00 batteries are useless. I stood and watched this. Needs to be completely redesigned. Killed 10 rats with Trapper T-Rex instead.

Summary: Hazardous Battery Loading 2008-04-21
Comment: While loading the four batteries for the first time I got zapped across the chest. The pain in my left arm was intense and hasn't gone away in a week. The construction of the battery compartment is of poor quality so it takes two hands to force the batteries into place. I believe the power switch may have been ON when I struggled with the batteries. The sharp pain induced in my left arm when I was zapped has been very uncomfortable for days. The root problem is a very amateurish battery tray design and poor mechanical engineering.
The Victor product solved my rodent problem but the shock I experienced could have induced ventricular tachycardia or worse, killing me prior to to terminating the rodent.
