Electronic Mouse Traps

AsktheExterminator.com: Electronic mouse traps eliminate the mess of snap traps and glue board rodent traps.

[@youbidoubidou]

Basically old guillotine vs. electric chair.

[@ehh1997]

guillotine with no blades tho

[@TheEagleOfTheNight]

So the squeamish have to deal with fried brains,guts and fur now??? Way to go Victor!!!

[@MikeBarnett1776]

I've got the Victor rat trap, and it works well. However, it wouldn't reset after the first rat, so I exchanged it for another (had a gut feeling to keep box and receipt) The exchanged one has also done it's job once, and did reset. Note that the 4 C cell batteries fit a bit awkwardly, and in both traps, I had to roll the batteries back and forth in their clips until I got good contact. It's possible that it was simply charging the capacitor, but it wasn't mentioned in the instructions

[@aceext]

Personally, I prefer the good old fashioned snap traps.

[@lkrause74]

I agree! These arent the mice you find in a pet store. These are wild, diseases carrying mice. If you do 'catch and release'...unless you take them to the middle of nowhere before releasing...theyll just get back INTO your home. If you kill it, it cant come back into your home. I prefer the traps that kill them either by shock or trapping them to where they cant move.

[@aceext]

It all depends upon outside temperatures. Batteries will not last as long in very cold weather. The manufacturer does not provide information on exactly how many "zaps" you can expect per set of batteries. The unit will indicate when batteries are low, however.

[@greengenie7063]

They say 100 kills per set of batteries

[@aceext]

There are different kinds of electronic mouse traps, but the prices range from your $18 to about $33. Traditional snap traps will work if you set them properly. As simplistic as they seem, they do have a sensitivity adjustment.

[@LeMoviesLBF]

Rats don't make huge trips to find a house. Once they find food in the woods they'll stay there and make their homes there.

[@lxt101]

Yes, but you wouldn't want to find any animal in your sandwich unless cooked and de-boned.

[@lxt101]

Good looking product though. Nicer than the crushed spine/head where they could suffer longer by not being killed effectively.

[@gookskywalker]

I got to get one of these.Plus a camera for some entertainment to the sport.

[@aceext]

The little slot where you put the holding bar is cut at two levels. Just push the holding bar to one side or the other to adjust the sensitivity.

[@MrWirelesscaller]

@aceext The main problem most people have with snap traps is they use the bait only on the trigger and only a minimal amount of material. The mouse is a greedy animal, coat it with enough peanut butter like a slice of toast and the mouse will move all around the trap pulling and tugging at the parts to try to grab every bit of the peanut butter. Coating under the trigger and the setting bar will have the mouse climb all over and tug it to their death, their greed is what will kill them.

[@aceext]

Thanks! It's a rubber mouse.

[@LeMoviesLBF]

No, they don't. If you free it very far away, it won't be able to travel such a long distance. Plus, when it finds food in the place you freed it (that's why the woods are recommended), it'll have no reason to come back.

[@LeMoviesLBF]

Yes, it can, it's not a domestic animal. Lots of mice live on the woods and forests. It can handle itself.

[@LeMoviesLBF]

Again, as I already said in other comments: if you free it in a place away from the city/vilage/whatever, like, a forest, the woods, the rat will stay there.

[@Spikestrip55]

I saw that you can use vegetable (or olive oil) to release a mouse or rat from a glue trap humanely. I triede it and it works!

[@LeMoviesLBF]

If we are in its turf, we should be the ones moving out.

[@wandavonkruger9471]

Unfortunately this device did not work for us. I costed 39 dollars and when we put it, the mouse ate ALL the bait and left unharmed. The best thing about it was that we were able to return it and get a full refund.

[@DanaTheInsane]

From what I've seen, they work well if you follow the instructions and bait them properly. It seems they have the most problems if you overbait as it can short the plates out and cook the circuit. I'll find out tonight. If this fails I'll do snap traps, but I don't want to.

[@LeMoviesLBF]

If the house is clean, the mice won't go there. The rest, you go read in the other comments.

[@lkrause74]

If you feel that way then go live out in the wild with your rodents. I for one dont want these filthy things in my house. LOL

[@justbcz68]

@aceext We have the extended hammer, the wooden one with the yellow hammer that looks like cheese. for about two weeks now we have had them set according to the instructions, just like your video states, perpendicular to the wall with no results unless there are two mice trying to get the bait. You said there is a sensitivity setting. how does that work and do you have a video showing how to do this?

[@dayvidthaeny1721]

man you have to sale this here in brazil..

[@dkeith45]

I just got one of the small Victors and so far it's working great. 5 kills. With snap traps, setting them is tricky, and the mice often steal the bait without setting them off. Glue traps have worked for me sometimes, and others they just avoid them. Tip up traps and box traps, sometimes work sometimes don't with very wary mice, that will not enter far enough into them to be caught. But this electronic trap, is easy for mice to enter, and as soon as they get close to the bait, ZAP. Ex-mouse.

[@ProteusKemo]

+dkeith45 Hi. So when a mice gets zapped do you clean it out? and how?

[@dkeith45]

+Proteus Michael Kemo So far there's been nothing to clean. I just turn it off, open the top and dump the mouse out, then add one more drop of bait and turn it on again. And I'm still catching mice. At least one a day and sometimes two a day. I had a bad problem in my garage that I let get out of hand. BTW this is the bait I've been using: www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2660318&KPID=3623769&pla=pla_3623769

[@LeMoviesLBF]

Isn't it better to just place cage traps? The rat gets stuck and you can free it somewhere far from your house. The little one lives and you get rid of it. Everyone wins.

[@Xareal]

One pitcher 1/2 filled with water One piece of construction paper with two cuts in the center so that it forms 4 triangular flaps Smear jelly on the very corners of them Secure Construction paper over mouth of pitcher Leave in a place where a mouse or rat can get to it Make sure pitcher won't tip.

[@jtking2504]

I would prefer the term 'kind at heart' :)

[@loyaltyforlife2596]

Where do I get this

[@bestamerica]

' what country make this electric mouse trap,,, how many volts in this trap

[@vincentx915]

The mice in my garage just went around these Victor Traps. A week later I bought BB and paintball guns. The Good: Problem solved with some fun. The Bad: It was over too soon.

[@janisrizenbaums4827]

Not risk to fire rat kill swith off automaticly? Are rat sparking and smoking to batteries empty?

[@rodrigosaucedomartinez6883]

Air guns are the best for this job

[@gookskywalker]

+RODRIGO SAUCEDO MARTINEZ Downfall of airguns is you got to wait on them to show up.

[@LeMoviesLBF]

Why would someone free them close to the neighborhood or something? The idea is to free it very far away, like, in the woods, so it will never come back.

[@anthony_depaz]

"I use a fire torch to burn them"

[@avmf8]

I use glue traps and then I drown the stuck mice in a water bucket. I put the sticky pad under the water and wedge the corner under a rock they drown in about a minute.

[@jimmbobb]

You're not going to demonstrate??

[@keithm4393]

Sticky trap is the best

[@damotoneko1500]

So _this_ is where Jigsaw get's his ideas? well, Karma is a good judge so what you do will come back at you tenfold.

[@aceext]

Snap traps work just as well or better. As pros, we certainly don't use electronic traps.

[@LeMoviesLBF]

Have you read my other comments to the other people?

[@KingOfTheBeyond23]

the weak heart? I killed one with a club

[@LeMoviesLBF]

Even the rats have their role keeping the world a good place to survive. We just don't give importance to it, but they do.

[@sparticus214]

voltage is not what makes electricity lethal its amperage but 4 aa batteries produce very low amperage..

[@sparticus214]

Mykey McK I sure cats are thumbs up this video.

[@sparticus214]

Amjad Ali You can do the same by feeding mcDonald's

[@DarkDragon1889]

Really? I bought the trap model advertised here, set it up as instructed and I zapped 5 mice within a week, including a huge one that was probably mothering all the other tiny ones it caught. And to my understanding it's SUPPOSED to buzz after you activate the switch, and the power light is supposed to flash for 2ish seconds to let you know that it is armed and ready. Maybe you just have the worst luck in the world and got a bunch of duds, or maybe it's the distribution center in your area.

[@LeMoviesLBF]

That's your opinion, I think every living creature deserves a second chance. You can't really blame the rat for invading your house in search of food, it's not as if the little animal knew that means something bad for you, it is just hungry.

[@PeaceKeeperr]

you look like ritt romney

[@UpcomingJedi]

@ironlykalion Are you sure you are not thinking of the southpark episode where Cartman catches Assberger's disease?

[@sofi99]

I tried the electronic trap and it was indeed ON when I set it up. I opened it and the bait was gone and there were mouse droppings in the trap. This device does not work.

[@lorilemonade6649]

Maybe you used cheap batteries.

[@sofi99]

+lorilemonade i used new brand name batteries

[@lorilemonade6649]

+sofi99 I have the exact same unit in this video (made by Victor) and in the past month it's caught 8 mice. I used Duracell Quantum batteries. They're kind of expensive (about 10 bux for a 4 pack @ Home Depot) but they get the job done. Also, the trap doesn't work if the bait is touching the plates.

[@motec8222]

lorilemonade i used cheap batteries from the 99 cents store and they killed the mouse. The only thing is the green light doesn’t flash when it gots a kill and I have to check manually to see if it caught a mouse.

[@akaeldin]

you know that you work nice if more than one mouse could be killed this way you have to empty it out evert time you kill one .

[@skunko144]

well this saves money on buying poison's to kill them, anyone know if available in Australia

[@1camoguy6]

Mitt Romney?

[@sondtellwilliams]

so i read that people are wanting rats to have a second chance OK lets make a deal to people who hate rats take all of them and give them to the "animal lovers" and see how much they "love" animals.

[@mizzdianna28]

Mitt*

[@joeridgley2027]

0.52 what if your pet is a mouse?????

[@LeMoviesLBF]

You could use a bike instead of a car. This way you would give yourself time to exercise and go for a quick ride, therefore, you could clean your head of unpleasant stuff and also become healthier.

[@AlexTDmast]

oh is a old mouse trap is not etically now?. A discharge current of the animal to be hit and fry drool flowed so ethically.

[@Legacy4magic]

pikachu use thunder shock! pikachu fainted....

[@promontorium]

lol wat? I watched my dad try to drown a mouse he had caught in a trap. It took forever and it was sad as hell watching. Never again.

[@mbigblue88]

75% of the Victor mouse traps that I have bought have failed. I put new batteries in and they stop working, or they start making a buzzing sound after you activate the switch. Not a very reliable product for the cost.

[@talonfluff]

just make a one from cheap fotocamera

[@BigWill7787]

Lmao!... 49 people that like to watch rodents suffer...

[@garciarosa100]

I was stupid enough to buy one. You tell me how you think it worked. A wasted $80

[@junfeizhong223]

lol $30 i got one for $2

[@LeMoviesLBF]

Look, rats don't reproduce as fast as most people think. One thing few will consider is the fact that the rats have a lethal gene, so 1/4 of the rats that are born will die, always. And let me say: if all the rats vanished from the planet, we'd not have a nice future. I'll give you an example with a different animal: if we killed all the flies from the world we would all DIE. So, don't kill all the rats either. Just because you think they're pests, it doesn't mean we can live without them.

[@andriussiurkus5304]

Thats what im trying to say to all haters. AND I AGREE!

[@hochiongiap]

mouse traps... mouse glue...and all conventional mouse capture tools are inhumane! victor's electronic mouse trap is the most humane system, it only capture the mouse, zap it with electricity, toast the mouse into ash, let the mouse electrocuted until it is totally wasted..... that's the humane way!

[@LeMoviesLBF]

Sigh... I won't explain my point again. Go read the other comments.

[@lkrause74]

Thats kind of hard to do in a city as big as the one I live in. I couldnt release it far away from the city. Thats a THREE hour drive! No mice/rat is worth that. Id sooner set up a bucket mouse trap and drown the little diseased bugger. Good riddens.

[@uprayup]

I found ths product for 20.00 bucks and it is worth every dime. It will definately kill the mouse. I always get someone to flush it down the toilet. lol I'm so afraid of them whether they are dead or alive. yucky

[@dpressismyname]

Rick, you're rat

[@kissingbanditt]

current kills not voltage, thats why cops stun guns are 15-75,000 volts, but low current, just stuns you.... ok, so 4 AA batteries, yeah you can go through an upconverter coil system to get your 10,000 volts, but where is the current? as voltage goes up current goes down. all you are doing is, shocking the mouse, the mouse has no where to go and dies from again a slow suffering. not a quick zap.....electric death chairs for people run around 600 Volts but the current is around 1000 amps...uhm, you should up your amps not your voltage, this product will not work humanely, it does work, but not in a humane way.

[@irasthewarrior]

If you have 2.000 amps at 10 volts it won't kill you. You have to have a combination of voltage and amps to kill you. Do some research first before speaking.

[@kissingbanditt]

you sound very uneducated goagal....current kills idiot, not voltage, you should read more before you open your mouth.

[@thetinkerboys14]

goagăl minus car batteries kill every year. 12v dude

[@alpfaable]

+goagăl minus amps are what kill.. All about the amp's you bitch you. :P

[@alpfaable]

+chase tressler yeah but you got to look at how many AMPS it puts out.. just a very low percant amp can kill someone if in the right spot. 2-3 amps.

[@BIGGESTxxEMINEMxxFAN]

@dcareyHQvideos Of course it is inhumane but people don't seem to care, They wouldn't electrocute there pets yet its ok to do to other animals ? I don't know how it isn't considered to be animal cruelty , And the glue traps are fucking ridicules with cruelty !!

[@victoria4554]

My gosh this is awful.
