DO NOT BUY

I agree 100% with another review. The redesigned model is total crap compared to the older model. All the videos say to remove the top to clean, but you can't remove the top because of the redesign. The videos say open the bait door, but there is no bait door because of the redesign. The peanut butter doesn't stay stuck to the hexagonal fitting. The redesigned ruined a great product and Victor can't even change the directions. I tried to remove the bottom to try to clean the tray and broke it. Just another example of a corporation trying to make more profit by reducing the quality of the product. Hope your owners are happy.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the redesigned Victor® Electronic Rat Trap. The updates you mentioned — including the fixed top, removed bait door, and changes to the bait area — clearly caused frustration, and we appreciate you sharing this feedback. The trap should still allow for easy baiting and cleaning, so breaking the unit while trying to access the tray isn’t expected.

After reading your reviews, it seems your products either work or they don’t. My rat trap has never worked. Most likely because the switch doesn’t.
I am a manufacturing engineer and I believe, like another reviewer, that it was cheaply designed for production, not for dependable operation or to be maintained easily.
I’m sorry Victor, but you didn’t build a better mouse trap this time…

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the Victor® Electronic Rat Trap. The switch should operate reliably, and the trap should activate as soon as a rat enters fully, so a unit that never powers or triggers as intended may indicate a defective component. We appreciate your detailed feedback on the design, as it helps our team work toward improving long-term performance and ease of use.

Absolutely a 5 star product … period
I spend $100’s if not $1000’s from trap, baits to pest control… nothing!!! Then I bought this $48 gem and BOOM! Problem addressed in an extremely efficient and humane way.
You want something that works?

You want something that works? THIS IS IT! After construction and demo of a nearby structure by our home, and our neighborhood being overrun with rats, sticky traps were not doing the job. So I got this. I put this out and by the morning it has done its job. Check out the pictures of the latest...this thing will take out 2 rats at the same time!
Go out and get this! It's worth every penny!

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the Victor® Electronic Rat Trap. The latest model features a fixed top design and a bait cup inside the trap for easy placement through the entrance rather than a separate door. Applying a small amount of sticky bait, such as peanut butter mixed with oats, helps it stay in place. Wipe the metal plates with a damp cloth after each use to maintain proper contact. Your feedback on the redesign is appreciated and will be shared with our product team for review.
I finally caught the bastard!
Oct 10, 2025
Omg!!! The rat is gone!!! Bought this victor electronic rat trap yesterday afternoon and the little bastard was dead within 24 hours. I had been getting glue traps and rat bait but none of it had been working. I saw this one was a little pricey but at the end of the day there's no price on having peace of mind knowing you can actually leave food out again without having to worry about one of these bastards eating it while you're asleep. I HIGHLY recommend this trap it definitely does the job

Unfortunatelone star is over rated.

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
Mar 13, 2025
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.
