OW-7 in-/Outdoor Electric Rodent Trap, Instant Kill Mouse & Rat Zapper with Waterproof Cover, Sound & Light Alarm, and Batteries or USB Power Source, Waterproof Grade IPX4, Black

I was dealing with a mouse problem and decided to try this electric mouse trap after other traps had failed. I’m honestly amazed — it caught 4 mice in just 3 days! It’s extremely simple to set up, very easy to clean, and best of all, there’s no mess or blood. If you’re squeamish like me and can’t stand the idea of seeing a mouse stuck in a snap trap, this is absolutely the way to go. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a quick, clean, and humane (as possible) solution.

This works really well. I live in an apartment so when the colder months hit this trap catches a lot of mice (one at a time) it has a green light, that lights up whenever one is caught. I recommended others to get this since it works well. I will say, I heard it catch a mouse once and it made a very loud zap but it wad quick and strange which later turned out to be the catch. This is not sticky and in my opinion more humane for catching and killing rather than sicky traps. Its super easy to clean, all you do is turn the switch off and take the lid off and dump it into the trash can. I have had this for over a year and still have not had to replace the batteries on it. The battery life is excellent!

This is a good idea in practice, as a more humane way to eliminate a rodent, however it did not work for me. I had a rat in my attic. I have no idea how it got up there tonthis day, but I could hear it scratching at night and/or when it was quiet. He could not get into the actual house/living area. I purchased this device and I honestly thought he was going to be done for the day I set it up, but boy was I wrong. I also bought an indoor Eufy camera to watch/monitor it. I set this trap up there and set the camera up in the attic facing the trap. It is 100% complete darkness up there when the light is off, but the cam was a PTZ cam with excellent night vision. I added american cheese and peanut butter with some fresh grated parmesan on a piece of tortilla in the bait trough (figured his last meal might as well be a good one). I also added a very small piece just inside the entry of the trap and a small piece just outside in front of the trap. Within no time I saw him eat the piece outside of the trap, as well as sniff all around the trap, focussing heavily on the vents right near the bait trough. Every so often he would return and sniff around the trap and look at the entry, but not enter. Finally maybe 5-7 days in (already too long for me) he reached in and grabbed the small piece inside the door. So I started thinking today is the day. Then over the next week he was beginning to go in further and further each day, reaching about 3/4 of his body in the entry at the peak point. However, I had to put a firm deadline that if he doesn't go all the way in TODAY and get zapped, I am going snap trap on his azz. Well, the deadline came and he never went all the way in, so I went up there and set a snap trap, turned off the light and closed the entry to the attic. I went outside to check the mail or something real quick, came back in and sat on my couch and then heard a noise and got a notification from the camera. Checked it and saw him get snapped. Within 10 minutes of placing the snap trap, he was done for. So, my point is, while this trap might work, in like a month to who knows, maybe 3 months, in the end a good ole fashioned $5 snap trap worked swiftly and immediately. One after thought of mine, is that they are in some ways much smarter than they are given credit for. I realized that I had not set the trap against any sort of wall, so he was always able to walk around all 4 sides of the trap and the top too. So I think he realized this was a box that went nowhere. A dead end. Perhaps if it was against a wall where at least one side of it he could not investigate, see or access, he might then think this is an opening into further exploration, like an opening into a wall or something, and not just a dead end box. Regardless, it ended up being the snap trap FTW in literally 10 minutes time of being set up. I gave this unit 3 stars because I'm sure it probably does work, and maybe more likely if set up against a wall. However, I think what would probably be the best idea for this is to have an opening/entry on both ends that they can see right through and out the other side, with the bait trough in the center/middle. I think a mouse or rat would be more inclined to go in if they can see that it's just a tube/hall with an exit ahead of them, and then when they get inside to the middle point, bzzzzzz. Oh, and let me tell you, I read about them and everything says they have good low light vision. I have to say they have excellent NO light vision. I watched this thing easily run along a rafter, and turn exactly when the rafter turned, and also hop from one thing to another. So either they have echo location or sonar, or maybe they emit infrared from their eyes, because they can SEE in complete darkness.

Very happy with this trap. Had it for a year or so now. Just put a tiny dab of peanut butter in there and bam! I have used cheese as well. You just need to know what kind your rodent prefers. I like that the kids don't see it and I can tell them I have 'trapped' the mouse and I'm letting it go when I dispose of it in the woods. No poison so its safe for my cat. I turn it off before opening it so I don't know if you would get any significant jolt or not should you happen to touch the plate. I have heard it working one night (actively taking out a mouse) and aside from a slight noise it's barely noticeable. I didn't even hear the rodent. I unfortunately get mice especially in the winter and they decided to take up space in my stove. I leave this near the stove by the backsplash and it works! And I like that I don't see much of the poor rodent when I dispose of it (can just tip it and look away while opening and disposing of it). It also seems more hygienic as it's not an open trap so things stay contained.Would def recommend. I've caught a lot of mice and still have yet to need a battery change. It's a nice alternative for the places your cat doesn't tend to. My cat does a fabulous job, but knows he can't be on the counter.
