Reviews for Victor® Electronic Rat Trap

DOES NOT WORK AT ALL

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 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?

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

I don’t clean. I dumb them out and reset with a peanut butter cup. 5 mice and one big rat went to the junkyard in the sky.
