OWLTRA OW-2 Electric Mouse Trap, Instant Kill Rodent Zapper with Pet Safe Trigger, Black

Works exactly as it said I would. Easy to use and I like that I could empty it without seeing the mouse. Easy to see when it has caught something as the light flashes. Well worth the money.

Can’t praise this trap enough. Had initially used classic cheap snap traps but the mouse kept getting away with the bait every time. Got some of the more expensive ’Phantom’ snap traps from Amazon in the hope of catching him but again it took the bait without fail every night. It had the luck to take it from 4 of them in one night! I started to lose hope of getting this mouse myself and resorted to getting sticky traps. Again the mouse knew to avoid these and also continued to take the bait off other traps. For one final attempt I got one of these traps in the hope of catching it. Lo and behold within 3 hours of putting the trap out he was caught. A week of trying multiple other traps and it was sorted so quickly with this. Design wise I really like it. It’s pretty discreet as far as traps go. It’s well built and the caught indicator is very good. No more being anxious to keep checking the trap to see if anything was caught. Personally I didn’t empty the trap but my housemate said it was pretty easy and he didn’t have to touch the mouse. No mess at all and a bonus is he didn’t touch the bait so was able to immediately reset it and have it out again incase there is more than 1. I’m definitely holding on to this to use as a preventative measure. The other traps are going into the bin. Trust me the price is worth it. The mouse itself was on the smaller/medium sized end so can see why no matter the sensitivity why the traps with platforms never triggered.

Didn't catch a single mouse. Realised why when I caught sight of one of them. The entrance to the trap is too small. The only mice it might have caught would have been young ones.

Brilliant - the following is my advice: 1) warning: the info leaflet warns against using this, or at least bring very careful, if you have a heart problem or pacemaker. 2) advice for successful use: * use plastic gloves at all times including unpacking to prevent any human smell. * I placed the trap against the wall on a couple of bricks to keep it away from rainy ground. * Don’t insert the batteries for a few days (or don’t switch it on). Lay the bait at the entrance of the trap and a little bit inside. I used bird seed and a bit of cheese. It took two days before our resident rat felt confident to take this bait. I then replaced the bait every day for about five days moving it gradually towards the bait station at the back. Ratty brazen and careless after a few days of this. On execution day I put cheese in the bait station at the end and one small bit of cheese just inside the entrance. After less than an hour I heard the beep telling me the trap had been activated. As it was night I went out the next morning. Ratty’s little bottom and tail hanging out of the trap. I felt sick. But not as sick as I would have done with a traditional spring trap. Husband rat phobic so guess who had to empty it… I did not love this job - but the electrocution was obviously very effective - he never got anywhere near the cheese at the back. I really really hope it was quick and he didn’t know what hit him. And he was a biggun - filled the whole box with tail hanging outside. I feel guilty and I wish my jack russell had managed to kill him first but I think this has got to be more humane than weeks slowly dying of poison. I also felt fine disposing of him in a natural scrubland as there is no poison to go down the food chain. So all in all I recommend this effective trap. I’m not sure that you do if you’ve got a whole nest of them… hope I don’t have to find out….

This rat trap device does its purpose but id say the power of the electrocution could be a little higher. I don't know if it was the batteries (Duracell's) I used but it stunned/injured the rat and I had to unfortunately "finish it off" and dispose it. If another one appears and it stays in the trap five stars will be given.

Used in conjunction with SWISSINNO SuperCat as bait, one unwelcome visitor dispatched to mousey heaven within a couple of hours of setting it. None of the "mess" associated with a conventional snap trap. No need to physically handle Jerry on his way to the bin. There is a slight ozone smell after old sparky has done it's work. Dead easy, pun intended, to set up, use & empty.

Great product. Good for mice and ratlings. I thing the power shock or electrocuatuon charge should be stronger to kill big rats. So far 5 ratlings or baby rats killed by this one. But no bigger rat killer with the bigger one. Good battery life aswell.

A friend has been catcing rats with his, so I bought one and within a few hours I'd zapped my first mouse. I used peanut butter as bait. I suspect the bad reviews are from folk using the wrong bait or maybe the batteries aren't new enough. A bit pricey but I'm satisfied. Plus I can put the dead critters out for the red kites to take, as there is no poison involved.

We put this in a couple places in the house and one day my wife decided to put it in the babys crib (no baby inside) where she found some droppings. In the middle of the night I was confused as there seemed to be a flashing light in the room. I finally came to my senses and realized it was the TRAP! Oh man, there was 3-4" of tail sticking out of it. I didn't have the heart to open the trap so I held on to the whole trap and launched the rat into the forest. 2024-August Update: we have caught like 6-7 rats in this and each time we set the trap it probably takes a few days to catch one. We put it on the car seat inside the car as a rat got in my wife's brand new subaru and was chewing the kids seat. BAM! Another dead rat. We have never even changed the batteries in this thing either. Such a good product. In fact I only changed the bait today after a year+ of use.

It is straightforward to use and is effective.

Muy sorprendido con el funcionamiento. Cumple con su cometido. Ideal este modelo dado que tiene un leve pitido alterno en el tiempo que te avisa del premio... Ideal para huecos escondidos o falsos techos. Así te olvidas de andar mirando. La información del fabricante es mínima, revisar mis fotos donde subo el manual y las características. Se puede desconectar el pitido alterno. Lastima tener que usarlo, pero por lo menos los bichos se van al otro barrio de una manera más limpia. Recomiendo meter como cebo queso, es infalible...

Zuerst war ich skeptisch. Aber nach 2 Tagen lag die erste Ratte tot im Kasten. Nach weiteren 8 Tagen hatte ich weitere 5 gefangen. Als Köder hatte ich kleine Schnittkäsestücke mit Nutella verwendet. Wichtig ist die Anordnung, die Köder sind so anzuordnen, dass die Ratte auf 2 Metallscheiben stehen muss, erst dann wird der Elektroschlag ausgeführt. Toll ist auch die Regenabdeckung.

Excellent! Have dispatched 3 mice in 3 nights so far. Good quality product and very efficient. I've been putting one single piece of grated cheese in the bait area and it's worked perfectly. Easy to dispose of the mice, simply switch it off, take the top piece off and tip the mouse out. No mess, no fuss. Highly recommended.
