Victor Electronic Mouse Trap,
October 19, 2009
"I am extremely pleased with this product.. New neighbors arrived with a portable shed. All of a sudden I had an infestation. Before this time I have lived in this home for 36 years without a problem.
Every night when I came home from work I had a new patron. ( Before this the usual sticky traps would not be strong enough and I would find them moved but empty. Or once a live mouse crying for help.)
Disposable gloves and a trash can and I was ready to catch another unwanted visitor."

"First of all, this thing works great. Very humane way to eliminate mice, they are killed nearly instantly and never make it to the bate. The only problem I've had is a young mouse that was quite small, the electrical charge was too much for a mouse that small and it was a little messy. I don't think it was painful for the mouse, just messy for me.
But anyway, what I really like about this trap is that I wired up the indicator light at the end of a long wire, this way I can tuck the trap wherever and it's still easy to check it. For example, I have two traps in my attic. It's a pain in the neck to go check them regularly, so I just have the wires with the indicator lights hanging out of the attic trap door. When one blinks, I go up and clean the trap. If you're reasonably handy with a screwdriver and a soldering iron, it's an easy upgrade. A telephone extension cord works very well because it's a two-color LED so it needs three conductors. Of course this voids the warranty...."

"I was another skeptic, but read the reviews here. I didn't want poisons in the house as we have pets. We tried the plug in mouse gadget that is supposed to work off the wiring to keep mice away. That may have worked for a few days. We're not sure if it did or it was wishful thinking.
We have pest control coming out every month and they gave us some of those sticky traps, but it sounded barbaric, the idea of any creature struggling while glued to a piece of cardboard , especially since I had rodents as pets when I was a child.
So, I ordered one of these Victor electronic mousetraps and set it up in my son's room this afternoon. Maybe 2 hours later, I looked in there and saw the green light blinking.
I picked the trap up, turned it off, brought it out to the garbage can, opened the top, turned it over and the dead mouse was discarded without my ever having to touch it.
If this is any indication of how this trap works, it's one of the best investments I've ever made. Thank you."

"The mice I had at my house were either too smart or too big to go into the Victor electric mousetrap. I placed the trap next to the wall in an area where the mice were feeding, along with some conventional traps. The conventional traps were sprung (baited with cheese), the electronic trap was undisturbed. To date, no mice have been caught using this trap."
