The Victor® Electronic Rat Trap is the ultimate in rodent control. It works by delivering a humane, high-voltage shock to kill rats and mice that enter the chamber. Featuring a sleek, simple design, this trap allows for easy setup and No-See, No-Touch™ disposal. The trap also uses convenient LED lights to alert you of catches and low battery power.
Quick, Humane Kill
Once powered on, the Victor® Electronic Rat Trap uses smart circuit technology to deliver a humane, high-voltage shock, effectively killing rats and mice. This powerful device can kill up to 35 rats per set of batteries, making it a great value when you’re dealing with a sizable infestation.
No-See, No-Touch™ Disposal
With the Victor® Electronic Rat Trap, disposing of rats is a breeze. After a catch, an LED light blinks green, so you know when it’s time to empty the trap. Then just power off the trap and empty the chamber into the trash without ever having to touch the dead rodent. There’s no mess and no rodent contact.
Easy to Use
The Victor® Electronic Rat Trap takes the hassle out of eliminating rats. To use, apply a small amount of bait on the rear shock plate, turn the trap on, and place it along the wall near signs of rodent activity. In case of false triggers, this trap has an automatic re-arming feature so it can be triggered again without you needing to reset it.
Unfortunatelone star is over rated. I friend picked this up for me after I told her I had a rodent in the house. I had previously had a rat zapper for years that had been fantastic so I was hopeful this would be too. It wasn't. After reimbursing my friend the $50 it cost, it caught exactly zero rodents!!! . I thought I must've done something wrong so I watch videos, bought new batteries( another chunk of money) , carefully inserted them , cleaned the interior and switched it on. After a few times setting it out in the kitchen the green light stopped coming on at all and the bait was always eaten. So basically I spent over $50 just for it to be a feeding station for rodents. It has really soured me on Victor products for sure and they used to be so reliable.
Can't put bait on panels ... Forgot bait tray in new design

Can't put bait on panels because it will cause a short. No bait tray! Horrible design it's like they forgot that part. I guess you have to convince them to go in there with a rat psychologist.
Works great! Clean and easy
I got this for rats, but my rats seem to have skipped off somewhere else. But it works great for the mice too.
The snap traps don't get the little ones and I have trouble with the mechanism. No issues here and I definitely think this is the most humane kind of trap
crappy video. The most important part loading the trap is not shown well and it is very brief. This is crap. The tech support does not have clear pictures to guide the customer this is a training issue. The video is terrible. The tech person just talked and apologized and didn't seem to understand and wouldn't escalate my call to second level. The service person kept thanking me for calling but never provided the answer to where exactly to load the bait. The old trap had a bait cup that hinged out. This one does not.
Im a 42 year old hog farmer in North Alabama. Mice are an issue around here.
I have in my possession about every trap and contraption there is. But this is by far the best one ive ever tried.
It says rat but i use it for mice.. I have no associations with this company. I bought this at Home Depot and killed 6 mice in 2 days. It works and it works well.
This is the worst trap you have made yet...I have always used your products until now. Why would you remove the bait door? Now the little rodents can get to the bait from the outside and you can't catch them. Why did you make it smaller, I've killed rats that can't for through this damn trap. Why are you changing something that worked???? I'm taking it back and purchasing a different brand
The rat keeps eating the bait from behind the trap. It has hexagonal holes in the back allows the rat to go behind and reach the bait without the need to go inside the trap. Am I doing some thing wrong?
We are sorry to hear that this is occurring! We recommend placing the trap with the baited end flush against the wall to help prevent this from happening. Please feel free to give us a call at 855-584-2867 for more tips and tricks!

Rats! In NYC it's more than an expression

I live in NYC, because of construction nearby we've had a lot more displaced rats than usual. I had a rat trapped in my cabinet, not a baby rat, a 7"+ tail rat :( . The snap traps weren't big enough, or were huge, glue traps are cruel, poison could land a wall full of decomposing rodents. This Victor trap that i bought at Home Depot (because it's down the street and i needed one immediately) was easy. To load the bait the back comes open, making it easy to clean after, I used peanut butter. You put in the batteries, turn it on and it's ready. I left for dinner, when I got home there was a tail coming out the end of the trap. Amazing for me, sad for the rat. Turn off, the rat slid into the trash bag, no touching. It was humane for all involved (well, less good for the rat obviously, but it was quick). These traps are so good. I've recommended to my building. It's a little investment, but well worth it IMHO
This trap Could be more receptive to users if it was easy to clean and reuse.
The top (Entry kill area) should be of a round design which could be removed from a square, gasketed moisture resistant body, using spring loaded clips with a push button release which would seperate the tube from the base much like a magazine release on a rifle or pistol.
The tube and contacts could then also be easily cleaned and the base contacts easily cleaned and the trap maintained. As it is now, it's basically an expensive disposable trap.
Thank you for this feedback. We recommend cleaning the traps using the following steps:
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.
Reach out via the Contact US page with any questions.
When I first bought the trap and turned it on the green light would come on for a few seconds. Now when I turn it on the green light blinks three times and then turns off. What does that mean?
Also, there is no buzzing sound after about a minute when I turn it on.

In the past I used an earlier model of your rat catcher with great success. The new model does not seem to be working at all. No matter the lure, new batteries, or different placement the rat seems to be able to go right into the trap with no adverse effect. In fact I seem to be feeding it. After I turn it on the green light flashes a few times and then goes out. I don’t hear any buzzing noise as I did with the earlier unit. Any suggestions on how to make the unit actually perform

We recommend put brand new batteries, if the issue persist you can give us a call since our products have one year warranty.

This new trap design is not effective. I’ve used the old design for YEARS with GREAT SUCCESS but this new trap just has the bait stolen with no kills. It’s also very lightweight and larger rodents drag it around.
There’s also no buzzing sound after I turn the power on, I don’t know if it’s actually on or not. It seems that the smaller batteries and he’s design aren’t powerful enough to get the job done.
Question by: Eirie on Dec 28, 2024, 10:22 AM
Hi, Thank you so much for your question!
Based on the information that we have, you have to apply just a pea size of bait inside of the trap, which will prevent the rodents from stealing the bait also, When you turn on the trap it will just flash once and then go off, there should not be any buzzing sound. If you have any questions or other issues please call us at 1-855-584-2867.

what is the difference between this model and the Model RZC001-4?
Question by: SAMUEL on Mar 13, 2025, 7:19 PM
Thanks for contacting Victor.
Here are some key differences between the Victor® Electronic Rat Trap Model CM241B and the Victor® Rat Zapper Classic Electronic Rat Trap Model RZC001-4:
Victor® Electronic Rat Trap (Model CM241B)
Quickly kills rats and mice with a humane, high-voltage shock
No-See, No-Touch™ disposal of rodents
Green LED light lets you know when there's a catch
Kills up to 35 rats per set of four AA batteries
For indoor use only
Available in 1-pack, 2-pack, and 3-pack
Victor® Rat Zapper Classic Electronic Rat Trap (Model RZC001-4)
High-voltage shock humanely kills mice and average-size rats
Easy to use – insert batteries, add bait, turn it on, place the trap
Blinking green LED light notifies you of a catch
No direct contact with dead rodents – simply tip into the trash
Kills up to 20 rats per set of four AA batteries (batteries not included)

Both traps provide a humane, high-voltage shock for efficient rodent control, but the CM241B model offers a higher kill capacity per battery set and more pack size options.
