My brand new zapper, when the switch is flipped on, the light flashes green and immediately buzzes. Why would a completely new unit do this?

If the trap is flashing green when turned on, the trap is armed and ready. It will often buzz as well.

My rat zapper has worked well for years. Now when I turn it on, it flashes green like normal, but a few seconds later the red light comes on even though the trap is empty. How do I cure this?

Hi, thank you for your question. When the red light comes on, it indicates that the batteries need to be replaced.

Unit turns on/tests with one green light, then goes off and buzzes for a few seconds properly per your direction. Is there a way to safely/physically test it will 'zap'. I've had a couple units in place for a couple months and am missing the mice I know are present. I understand they may choose not to go in and I'm trying different bait and location methods. I just want to be sure they're not going in and it's not activating. THANKS!

Thank you for contacting Victor.
Regarding the Victor® Rat Zapper Classic Electronic Rat Trap, we do not recommend testing the trap in any way. As long as the light flashes correctly when the trap is first turned on, it should be functioning properly.
Baiting Tips:
Apply a small amount of high-protein bait, such as peanut butter, bacon, or chocolate, to the back wall of the trap, away from the metal plates.
Use a Q-tip or another tool to apply the bait to avoid transferring your scent.
Position the trap on a flat surface against a wall where you have seen signs of rodent activity. The trap should be placed lengthwise, with the entrance nearest to the wall.
Let us know if you need any further assistance.
Warm regards
