Questions about Victor® Electronic Rat Trap

If the unit is buzzing without a catch, we recommend cleaning it to make sure that there is no debris on the metal plates causing the trap to think a rodent is inside.

To do this:

• Turn the trap off and remove the batteries.
• Use a hydrogen peroxide topical solution (available at most drug stores) and an old toothbrush to clean the inside of the chamber. If needed, use a wire brush to remove any corrosion, being careful not to be too vigorous. This could accidentally remove all of the protective zinc plating.
• Allow the interior and exterior of the kill chamber to air dry completely before reassembling.
• Bait the trap.
• Re-insert the batteries and turn the trap on.

No, this trap is for indoor use only.

This trap may have a slight buzzing noise when the unit is first turned on. As long as the green light flashes once when the trap is first turned on, the unit is working correctly.
