## Description

Product Description Victor's Power-Kill Rat Trap is effective at catching rats around your home or outbuildings. Made by VictorOne of the world’s leaders in rodent control since the invention of the spring based Victor Mouse Trap in 1898. Box Contains 6 x Power Kill Rat Trap (Pack of 6 x 1 trap)

Review: Terrifyingly Efficient - I spent a lot of time reading reviews on here on the various makes of these kinds of rat/mouse killers. I came to the conclusion that after cancelling out the 'I got this product free/discounted and therefore feel obliged/feel it's in my interests to give a good review' reviews, this one was the one with the largest number of suspect free positive reviews. I had a serious mouse problem, but not a rat problem, but having already tried first live traps, and then Rentokil poison boxes, and finding them equally useless to the pretty intelligent mice that were troubling me, I decided to try one of these and felt that the larger tunnel size, since it's designed for rats too, would make the mice less suspicious on entering. This product arrived on a Sunday afternoon, but having no batteries until the following day, I decided to place it in its first intended location, my kitchen cupboard, hoping the mice would get used to it being there and therefore fooled into a false sense of security. The next day the batteries arrived and I put it in my kitchen cupboard at 4pm, with a square of Snickers. I came back into the room about ten minutes later to find it already flashing, and found the first victim had been killed within 10 minutes of me placing it there. Tipping the mouse out was simple and I replaced the product back into the cupboard. That first night it killed six mice, the second night another 5. I then moved it into my living room and it showed the same efficiency until within 3 days, there were no more mice, and no more signs of them destroying the things that were previously being ruined every night. I should also point out, that it did all this using the same square of Snickers I placed in it on first set up. Since no mouse had ever got far enough to touch it let alone eat it, it remained as bait throughout. The mice always looked in perfect condition. No burned extremities, no hideous looks of pain or shock on their faces etc. In fact I find this product all the scarier for the fact that it is quite so terrifyingly efficient as the title indicates. But given the previous items I tried, I'd say this were one of the better ways to be killed off. If you have pets or other humans around, I would highly recommend you place this trap only where they cannot get. A dog/cat/rabbit's paws could easily reach into this product and they would be killed instantly I'm sure, and I'm sure it wouldn't do a human much good either. But that aside, so long as you are aware of this, I find this product brilliant and would highly recommend it.
Review: Don't waste your money! - OK we had a rat problem and I needed to sort it out quickly - so I bought Victor Rat Traps, Glue Boards and this Victor Rat Zapper. Don't bother with the Victor Rat Zapper!! I caught all of the rats with the traditional snap spring traps and the last one called an "Alpha" on a glue board. Apparently you need to try and catch them all in one go, otherwise they will get trap shy and just avoid them. The last one would not take the bait and so I ordered a glue board and it just ran across it, after I had worked out where his food source was coming from. Also block up any holes, even if you end up blocking them in the house. It took over 4 weeks to get them all and so I can't get a refund on my Rat Zapper, but save your cash and do not bother - it did not work for me and the rats were small enough to have got into it. I put in the most expensive batteries too, they just would not enter it. Buy lots of normal snap rat traps - the Victor ones were good, bait them up unset with either Cheese, Bacon or Peanut Butter to see which they prefer and let them get used to eating off them unset for a couple of days and set them and unleash hell. Hopefully you'll get them all in one night. I took ages for me to get all of this information off of the internet so I hope it helps someone. The Zapper sounds like a great idea, as you can just kill them cleanly and tip them in the bin, without any mucking around with traps and the inherent danger to children and small pets - but its only a great idea if it works! Sorry rats but you were starting to destroy my house!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone tried this with red squirrels? Or had any luck with any other kind of trap? Thanks.**
A: The M144 is too weak. Try the Victor M201 trap. Designed for rats, but has the old style wood base and a stronger spring. Do my free and easy bottle cap mod, and it should work great for those pesky little red squirrels. Google "victor m201 mod" and read the comments on top response.

**Q: Are these black m144 traps the same as the beige? They arent on victors websight and all Q&A refers to beige.**
A: We apologize for any confusion! The M144 model traps are the beige Power-Kill™ Rat Traps, and the M393 model traps are the black Power-Kill™ Mouse Traps (pictured). The trap information is correct and we are in the process of correcting the photos provided.

**Q: Which trap has the stronger spring, this one (M144) or the wood base one (M201)?**
A: bought replacement batch on these  May 2023. The new plastic power traps with teeth have a much stronger spring that the earlier ones, and I have to have my husband set them, which is a problem when he is not here. If you  look through the item pictures in the post, you can see the difference

**Q: Anyone know a safe way to deactivate and re-bait?**
A: Hold the U-bar in the back that is engaged in the plastic lock at the base, and use a popsicle stick to lightly push down the front black plate. Then slowly release the U bar and the red kill U bar will be deactivated . Now, you can apply PB or other bait like cat food into the hole. You can even apply some PB at the underside of the black plate. The rat will try to lick it, springing the trap. I usually use a medium-sized clay pot to partially cover it, propping one side with a rock to allow entry. That will help reduce accidental kills of birds trying to get to the bait.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent and as humane as you can get whilst being effective
*by N***O on 18 December 2018*

We had a mouse infestation after a next door neighbours house was cleared *(she was elderly and the conditions were not great), the mice migrated to our house.... We tried everything, sticky traps, snap traps, poison, trapping traps! but nothing seemed to be getting rid of the problem effectively and additionally humanely. Sticky traps and snap traps in particular are horrid. The rodents die slow and painful deaths. I want the things gone, but there is no need for slow and painful! My wife came across the Rat Zapper. We baited it with dog food and caught a mouse every night, sometime we would catch 2 - 3 in one 24 hour period. It was so good that we bought a second trap. Between both traps we caught over 40 mice and cleared the infestation. We were mouse free. These traps kill instantly. It is as humane as you get. The mice don't know whats happened, they go in an lights off. No blood no mess, so its easy to dispose of the dead mice. Often I wouldn't even need to re bait the trap as the mice don't even get as far as the food. They are a bit more expensive, but well worth it. I have given 4 stars not 5 because i have to say they do seem to not stand the test of time. My first set of 2 RatZappers lasted about 2 years. After which point I had to buy a brand new trap.
