Works perfectly - Zero Zombie Mice

So color me impressed. We had found a few things nibbled in the kitchen. We decided we had a mouse (yes, just one, we don't live in reality). We have a child and didn't want poison's or snap traps. We bought this (newer) model, set it up and placed in it a corner of the floor in the kitchen, because that's where we wanted the mouse to be. Of course, nothing happened. We found our last bag of Donkey chips had been nibbled and grudgingly set the trap up on the counter. In the morning, my wife noticed the green light flashing. I had not. I was expecting a rapid flash, but it's really just once every 10-15 seconds. Sure enough, when I looked in the opening, a tail was clearly visible. Now I had two fears. The first was that the mouse was going to look like Large Marge's ghost and be splattered all over the inside of the trap. The second was that I was going to be attacked by the reanimated corpse of the mouse as soon as I touched the trap. Thankfully, All I did was open it and dump it into the outside dumpster. There was no mess at all. This made us all very happy, so we re-baited the trap and set out to murder the rest of the mouse's family.

Kills Any Disease Bearing Rodents ...Dead. This Works.

You got a mouse or mice and don't want it any longer? Stick one Apple Jack or one Froot Loop in the little bait cup of this thing & set it along a wall where you suspect the rodent is traveling. You will catch that mouse & a his friends within a week . Have them taxidermied into funny, human-like poses or just discard. Humanely stops thier heart with a smile on thier disease-filled mouth since thier final thought is ," an AppleJack as big as my head; Oh, joy!!" before 2300milliamps of 13volt electricity terminates them like convicts in Ol'Sparky.

Great Mousetrap!

I don't often write reviews but I was impressed enough with this product to do so. For the first time ever I had a mouse in my apartment and he was snackin' on my tortilla chips. Now these aren't Tostitos or any mass-market store-bought garbage like that. These are gorgeous beautiful tortilla chips homemade by a local tortilleria. They're thick and crunchy and just the right amount of salty. I cannot have some mouse eating my beautiful tortilla chips. I will not. This aggression will not stand. I didn't want the old-school snap trap as that can be a bit messy. Didn't want a glue trap as that's just inhumane. I wanna kill the little guy so he stops eating my chips but I'm not trying to torture him. So I settled on an electric shock trap. Figure a quick zap and that's it. Not the worst way to go. So I bought one of these traps. Very easy to set up, put in your 4 AA batteries, put some bait in the trap (I used what I know he liked - a bit of a tortilla chip), close the lid, and turn it on. The mouse had been hiding somewhere behind my stove and coming out onto the counter to raid the chip bag so I put the trap on the counter along his usual route hoping he'd take the bait. The next morning I came down to find the trap with a green blinking light. Green blinking light means the trap has made its kill. Now we come to the "no touch, no see" part of the product claim. I think that's a little generous. You can easily dispose of the mouse carcass without touching it but not seeing it would take some effort on your part. Like you'd have to actively not look while you dump the mouse body into the trash and then not look into the trash ever again. There is one way I guess you could really truly no-touch, no-see dispose of the mouse. I did notice the trap has a split design. The "kill chamber" portion of the trap can be disconnected from the electronic side without opening the lid, so I guess you could throw the whole kill chamber away, mouse included, and obtain a new one. But that seems wasteful. If you are gonna kill the mouse, the least you can do is gaze upon your handiwork and contemplate what you have done. All you gotta do to dispose the mouse is open the lid of the kill chamber and then dump it out into the trash. Look or don't look. Maybe it comforts you to know that the mouse looks peaceful and not like you think he might look after getting a 7000 volt zap. So first night the trap was set, a mouse was caught and killed! Awesome! But on the theory that if there's one mouse, there's more, I re-baited the trap and set it again. Sure enough, when I got up the next morning, the green light was blinking again! 2 for 2. Trap is now re-baited and waiting to see if there are any more. So, to sum up, 1) this trap does a great job of killing mice and 2) try baiting it with tortilla chips.

Only thing more effective is a cat!

This is my second purchase. I had one years ago when I lived in Brooklyn and winter brought in a ton of small rats. This trap was catching two a day until we got a cat. Then after he caught two they learned to stop coming. Now I’m in South Florida and was shocked to find rodent droppings in my flour pantry. Came right to amazon to buy this trap again. It took 6 days but the tiny sucker finally took the bait. This is so much better than glue traps (FYI they will scream and chew their feet off to try and escape that. Do yourself and the rodents a favor and save yourself from that trauma). When they are “zapped” they appear just as in my photo, dead, intact, no mess and you know they went as quickly and humanely as possible. I highly recommend this trap!!!

UPDATE!!!!

For some reason that I have yet to figure out, this electronic mousetrap is now working. I haven't touched it - no cleaning the plates nor did I put new peanut butter in it. However, in the past couple weeks I have emptied three dead mice from it. I have both this and the regular cheap Victor mousetraps set and the mice are now going to the electronic one. Will be purchasing more of these in the future since setting the cheap traps always make me nervous.

Effective

Used behind the stove, in an area against the wall so the little guy had to enter. Left it off for 24 hours, but baited. Made sure he was entering and eating and would return to the site. Turned it on the next night, and in less than 30 min I got him. I was so thrilled. Laughing and cackling like a witch. I have always prided myself as a animal lover, but when it came to this sucker, I made noises of joy I didn't know I was even capable of making. My husband has changed since then...looking at me weird, and calling my a sociopath, scary etc. He'll get over it, and for now...the mousey is gone.

This is awesome. Killed 3 mice yesterday.

I had before got the "humane" catch and release mouse trap. That certainly works, but in the end, it turned out not to be humane. This is because eventually I stopped releasing the mice and just let them starve to death. Why did I do this? Because each time I released the mouse, it would return. I released the mice about 2 miles from my home. There were many blocks between my home and the release point, with many other houses between. The mouse still returned. Mice can and will return, even over a distance of miles. Even over difficult terrain. This has been proven, and this is what happened to me (I can't be sure, but this has been tested by others who marked the mice, and it just happens). So there's no point in releasing the mice. They'll simply return. So I got this trap. I don't care about killing the mice; I just don't want them to suffer. This trap electrocutes the mouse, killing it instantly as far as I can tell. And it alerts me too. I can hear it zapping the mouse. Bzzz! I do see the mouse when I dump it, but that's because I choose to look. If you get the hang of opening the door and tilting it out, there's no need to look. It is no touch. That is for sure. I've never touched the mouse or anywhere the mouse touched (unless the mouse climbed up on the trap when I wasn't looking. I had no idea that I had 3 mice in the house. Thought I had just one. Maybe there are more. I'll find out soon.

Wrap the peanut butter in a scrap of toilet paper.

This trap kills mice handily. For neat baiting, I use 1/2 of a cotton swab to wipe peanut butter in the corner of a square of toilet paper. The 2nd half of swab I keep in the medicine cabinet for the next baiting. Killed mice get flushed down the toilet and, to eliminate the smell of death, I wipe down the kill chamber with rubbing alcohol. So, all trap maintenance and loading is done in the bathroom. If you have doubts about this unit just give it a try. The worst case scenario is your returning it free of charge for a full refund. Just indicate that it doesn't work as expected.

Best Mouse Trap Yet

UPDATE! We bought 2 of these last July when we had a really bad mice infestation in the house. Once i found the right spot I was catching at least on mouse a day in each one. We didn't realize how many we had so this year we are being vigilant about checking the traps daily and re-baiting if necessary so we can avoid generations living in our house, which is what happened last year, there were little ones and adults so I think they were breeding somewhere, it was awful. This year I have caught some int he garage and a couple in the basement but have not seen one in the main part of our house so I hope to keep on top of it. No other mouse trap compares to this and I won't use poison because of the animals............When we first got this mousetrap I wasn't sure it was working. I knew I had mice in the house but had only caught 2 and there were still more. I finally found the right spot for it and caught 7 more. I am pretty sure I have them out of the house but bought another one to put in the garage in case that is where they were getting in. I've caught 2 more in 3 days there now and still have the one in the basement just in case. We cannot find another access point that we can get to and they may be getting in under our deck which we cannot reach as it is too low to the ground so this is our best option. I like that it's reusable as I was using the white Tom Cat kill/contain disposable ones but they changed the design and were not working, plus it got expensive if they did and did not want to be finding the messy snap ones and poison is not an option in my house due to dogs and the fact they they often died in places we could not get to. I have only put one set of batteries in each one and they keep working. This is truly the best option yet.

Tip: This is the newer model that is easier to clean

The new and the old.... On Amazon, there are TWO of these. This one is a couple of bucks more expensive, because it is the newer model 250S (2524S is the older cheaper model). The newer 250S model has the important feature that the kill chamber is detachable. This will be important for cleaning, so that you can separate this chamber from the electronics. The new model is beveled on the ends and the old one has square corners. Does it hum? In the other reviews there was some debate as to whether their trap made a "hum" after the green light goes on. This model 520S does hum. Does it catch mice? I have caught two mice with a DIFFERENT live catch tilt model. We'll see if this electronic mousetrap does better than it's more basic bretheren. (See picture of the two traps side-by-side.) The one on the left caught a mouse two days ago. We'll see what happens tonight! I'll add an addendum after I get a kill. Addendum: 6/8/19 - I caught a roach (see picture). Noticed the blinking light and found a roach between two plates. I had already caught two mice with conventional traps (see above). So far, no more mice, with neither the old or new (electronic) trap. I also closed some openings and tightened up the pantry, so maybe, for now, I've caught them all? I'll keep trying and report back. At least it tested out the electrocution aspect (on the roach) with the blinking light, which seems to blink every 5 seconds, on a more diminutive target.
