Victor M250S Indoor Humane Electronic Mouse Trap - No Touch, No See Electric Instant Kill Mouse Trap - 4 Traps

Product arrived quickly, easy to set up, easy access to put batteries in, bait, etc.WOW is for how it worked! Let me tell ya...at first I tried the humane traps to relocate the little buggers.They'd catch a mouse now and then, but I saw mice, yes that is plural, mice, running across a room or jumping off one of my house plants, literally every time I walked through my house, day or night. I don't like the idea of killing them but hey, I was finding mouse poop EVERYWHERE and shredded things that were once items of clothing or paperwork. When I saw mouse poop all over my kitchen counters one morning that was it, I got online to check out my options. I knew I had to get serious and do something about the mice. I had tried the typical snap traps, and once a week I'd catch a young mouse but I saw large mice leaving large poopies, yuck! I was looking for a product that would work quickly, although I want them out of my house I didn't want them stuck on some glue pad suffering all day. I bought these and figured I'd give them a chance and I got 8 of them to place strategically throughout the house and also in my pigeon loft. I used a tiny bit of almond butter since it is what I had in the kitchen at the time, and it is a very small bait area, a dab of peanut or almond butter on the end of your pinky finger is all it takes. The next morning EVERY TRAP HAD CAUGHT A MOUSE!!! I was amazed. I knew I had a few mice, but to catch 8 in one night? WOW! I noticed as soon as I looked at the traps I saw a mouse tail sticking out, and knew I had a mouse in there. A couple I saw no tail but opened them up and there were very young mice in there, so I have a darn mouse hatchery here! So let me tell ya, I also have some Parakeets and a Canary, and the past few weeks their normally peaceful nights were disturbed by the mice. When you have pet birds, you know as soon as it gets dark they go to sleep. A bird chirping or flapping wings in the night is not normal, it means they're being disturbed, and in my case it was by mice. When my birds were disturbed, so was I, as I'm a light sleeper. It really ticked me off my poor birds couldn't even get a good night's sleep. So the night I set these traps, I placed them under where the birds are, since that is where most mouse poopies were, obviously scavenging the few bird seeds that fell on the floor. The traps not only worked outstandingly, but they must be very fast, because I did not hear one whistle, peep or flap of wings in the night, so my birds were not disturbed at all. I also checked the traps I placed in my pigeon loft, also all traps out there were successful, each one had a mouse. The top of the trap portion flips open easily, tip it upside down and the dead mouse falls right out. I had a bucket of dead mice, I placed out near the edge of the cornfield for the buzzards, who promptly flew in for mouse breakfast. Although I really do not like killing them, I do not want them in my house or in my pigeon loft as they spread illness and destroy quite a bit. I have a black snake in one of my sheds catching mice but that dude isn't even making a dent, I have serious rodent overpopulation going on here, I had to take some action. Poisons are not a option as I have a dog, chickens, the visiting snake in my other shed, owls or hawks that visit, and a neighbor's cat often visits to hunt mice; I do not want to harm any other animals that may ingest a mouse full of poison. I would highly recommend these traps! In fact, I will be buying more to place them in my other shed as well. Thank you for inventing a product that works and is easy to set, clean and reset.UPDATESo I had purchased 8 traps initially. I caught a mouse in each trap 3 days straight, that's 24 mice, large and small, no problem. I saw the part where the mouse goes in was in need of cleaning, with some of the almond nut butter smeared and mouse fur. Since the nut butter won't really come off without soap and water, the units will come apart easily from the section where the batteries go so that they can be cleaned. Those sections just slide right apart. So, I took them apart and proceeded to wipe out the nut butter and then I placed them in a bucket with warm water and dish soap to clean them properly. The directions said to clean them so they will not have the scent of dead mice. After cleaning them I rinsed them and dried them, and set them on the deck in the sun to completely dry. I then put fresh almond nut butter in the bait space and snapped them into place, reassembling the units, the other part with the batteries did not need cleaning, but I did put in brand new fresh batteries, and set them up for more mice in my pigeon loft, as I saw there were still some mice running around. Well, I am not sure what happened, but no more mice have been caught. I figured I must have bought some dud batteries, so I went and bought more, a different type at a different store. Same result, no more mice are going into the traps. So now my question is...when you disassemble them to clean, is it essential they go back with the same original unit? They all look identical, they all have the exact same way they snap into place, so that is going to be a problem to figure out at this point. The only other conclusion is that the mice are getting wise, so I moved the traps to different spots. Still no mice will go in. Instead, now I have ants going in eating the darn bait! But no more mice are going in. Well...now what?!So I read through all of the other peoples' questions and found this..."We do not recommend rinsing the plates but rather wiping them with a damp cloth and a hydrogen peroxide solution" and "clean it thoroughly after each kill with rubbing alcohol and a q-tip or paper towel to ensure the contacts stay clean" so I suspect that the metal contact plates are still funky with nut butter. I will clean them and try to reset everything up again, because there are still mice running around.

This is the absolute best mouse trap I have ever tried; bar-none period (it's even your better than your beloved pussy cat) in every way that I can think of besides the fact that it does cost money. The trap is easy to bait, easy to set, and easy to dispose of the dead mice (which will be every single one you need to eliminate)! They will be caught/killed 99.9% of the time without much of mess besides a drop or two of mouse pee every now and then, which can be rinsed out easily. It will even kill those little pesky bastards that repeatively out-smart your conventional spring-type traps. I have been having 100% success using pretzel sticks and peanut butter. I first use one pretzel stick to scoop out a pea-sized bit of peanut butter. Next I break that part off and put it in the bait cup instead of using only peanut butter like the instructions say. Next, I use the remainder of that one pretzel stick (broken into pieces) to make a little bait trail leading to the trap with one piece placed in the trap entryway just before it is totally out of sight. After he/she has devouredthe my free offerings, they will start to smell the irresistible aroma of peanut butter. As they chomp on my final tasty gift and go a little bit further past a partition wall inside the trap, they will finally see that the food that is creating such a delicious the smell does exist just ahead. At this precise moment in this process, I bet everywould-be victim is overcomewith a sudden, uncontrollable desire to greedily start gorging themselves on this unbelievable bounty presented before them. However upon taking the small step in order to reach this fabulous feast, the victim has unknowingly stepped on the second metal pad (closing an electrical circuit) which leads to an instantaneous deadly flow of electricity through their body. The electrocution process is silent and happens at speed of light without any lengthy wait on death row or even having any chance of a last minute pardon (unless you forget to turn the trap on or have weak batteries! But all jokes aside, it sounds pretty violent but the tiny mouse is dead instantaneously and he/she probably never knew what the hell happened, but YOU WILL....no more filthly, disease carrying mouse! Only thing left to do now is empty or replace (at a cost) the death chamber, re-bait, and get ready to give many more heartfelt goodbyes to the rest of the mouse's family!! However, my experience has been that re-baiting is usually unnecessary; as long as your first offering is still good and fresh. Needless to say, but as a reminder, the trail of pretzels I suggested will ALWAYS need to be replaced but by no means necessary in order to have success. The main reason that I like to put the extra bit of luring bait to see if it's there later thus reporting to me whether or not all the mice have been eradicated, sincehungry mice absolutely cannot resist the fragrant temptation of pretzels and peanut butter. There are only 2 reasons that I can think of why mice wouldn't want to endulge themselves with this irresistible bait combination is because either they're not hungry at the time or they are not in house anymore (which is preferred IMO)! The extra baiting around the trap is really more of a mouse presence indicator for me and not required to rid your home of pests. I honestly cannot say enough positive things about this trap. It's worth every stinking penny and I don't brag on many products or leave a lot of positive reviews unless I feel it will be beneficial to others. Boy, I really wish I was the one that invented this or that I could buy stock in this (either way, I would be wealthy)!!! All of my life I've heard people say that you can't build a better mouse trap! After using this one, I would have to respond by saying, "YES you absolutely CAN and Victor has done it even better with their second attempt some 100+ years later!! Now even you will be able to confidently say, "Death to all you nasty, scurrying,##@@@, $$##@@, mice!!! I WILL get you _______ now!" Or whichever descriptive words work for you. Haha

Although a little more expensive, it is great if you have pets. Even though the light stopped working on one trap, it was no big deal to me, I just checked it regularly to make sure there was no mouse in there. The only issue I had was that it caught a slug one day and a roach another. It did not kill the roach but, apparently, 'amputated' two legs and it was impossible to remove them from the plates so I have not used it again but debating if I should spend the extra money for a replacement chamber.

Hasta el momento he matado 5 ratones con esta trampa; la he estado usando por un mes, la caja es pequeña, caben ratones y ratas chicas (una muy gorda fue mi primera víctima, nada más se ve la colita de fuera en la mañana), el mecanismo es ingenioso, tiene dos plataformas de metal que al pisar la rata cierra el circuito eléctrico y recibe una gran descarga que la mata al instante (espero).Le veo muchas ventajas a este producto; creo que promocionan algo de ''tirar sin ver (... al ratón ya muerto)'' pero es bastante fantasioso, si ves a la rata al tirarla, aun así el desecharla es bastante fácil y limpio, no como las trampas manuales que luego decapitan ratas. También es lo más cercano a ser ''humano'', no es como los venenos que matan a la rata pero la hacen sufrir por días y después no sabes donde se muere, hasta que se está descomponiendo y apesta el cuarto, también pensemos las tradicionales trampas de caja que son extremadamente crueles si quieres matar al ratón ya que debes ahogarla (si no la liberas afuera, pero cuando tienes una infestación esto es fantasía pura).En fin estoy bastante feliz con el producto, hasta ahora ha cumplido de una buena manera su trabajo, solo ¡ojo! considere que esto es solo para ratones y ratas pequeñas, tiene problemas con ratas grandes compre la versión grande.

Efficacité garantie. 8 souris en une semaine après 4 mois de galère.

Habe schon mehere Mäuse mit dieser Falle gefangen.Ich kann diese Falle zu 100% positiv weiterempfehlen. :-)

Creo que es el método más "humano" para matar ratones. Está claro que la muerte es rápida, de lo contrario escaparían, y por ejemplo las trampas típicas para ratones, esas de resorte, me las he encontrado a veces con ratones muertos pillados solo por una pata, por ejemplo... una muerte horrible, sin duda, que no ocurre con este aparato. Es mucho más caro que otros métodos como esas trampas de muelle o el veneno, pero uno se asegura de dar una muerte sin sufrimiento y sin que afecte a otros animales (como puede ocurrir con el veneno). Recomendable.

Ich bin mit diesen Fallen sehr zufrieden. Hervorragende Fängigkeit (benutzter Köder: Nutella), schnelle und saubere Entleerung. Einzig das Köder-Einbringen erweist sich als etwas fummelig, ist aber zu bewältigen. Mit einer Falle schon zwei Mäuse innerhalb von drei Tagen gefangen, und das ganz ohne Igittigitt-Effekt.
