Handle the trap only by dry hands or rubber gloves. Review: It is straightforward to use and is effective. Review: Es ist die beste Falle, die ich je hatte. Da die Auslösung über eine Lichtschranke erfolgt, kommt es bei dieser Falle weder auf das Geschick des Fallenstellers bei der Beköderung noch auf das der Maus beim Rauben des Köders an. Die Maus ist tot, bevor sie den Köder (z.B. Nutella) tatsächlich erreicht hat. Die Falle zeigt durch ein Lichtsignal an, wenn ein Fang erfolgte. Erscheint das Lichtsignal nicht (weil nichts gefangen wurde), kann man sich durch Aus- und Wiedereinschalten von der (weiterhin) bestehenden Betriebsbereitschaft überzeugen. Da die Maus nicht verletzt wird, wird auch die Falle innen nicht verschmutzt. Das tote Tier kann ohne Berührung entfernt und die Falle sofort wieder eingesetzt werden. Nachdem ich an drei Tagen drei Mäuse gefangen hatte, habe ich alle mechanischen Fallen, die in der selben Zeit erfolglos geblieben waren, weggeworfen. Leider habe ich dann doch nicht so viele Mäuse - sonst hätte ich ganz sicher noch weitere dieser genialen Fallen gekauft. ## Features - HUMANE SOLUTION - Owltra is a humane solution for exterminating large amounts of rodents.

He did say he would review the rat trap later. **Q: Which way is it turned on?? i can't tell. one direction causes a green light for a second and the other way does nothing.** A: Slide the switch toward the opening where the mouse goes in and that's off. When you slide the switch away the opening the green light comes on to tell you that the batteries are good. The green light then goes out and it's ready to cook the mice. After there is a dead mouse inside the trap, the light will flash red every 10-20 seconds to tell you that the trap has been tripped. Slide the switch toward the opening and then open the trap and dispose of the mouse. **Q: Can you use it outside??** A: First off, yes, Mousetrap Monday has reviewed the rat version a year after the mouse one and likes it! - I've used that other trap with the purplish color and blue side labels. It's caught voles (who do come out at night and run along the house wall). When there was rain or a chance it would seep under the porch, I've just placed that other trap on some wood to get it off the concrete and out of reach of water. What I DON'T Like about that trap is that it's very difficult to bait as there is no "door" or easy way to access from the back on the bait side and you have to push through the peanut butter on the end of a 10 inch stick or attempt to drip it into the trap at an angle to get it to the final electrical pad that the rodent has to lick in order to set off the electricity. As time has gone by, that end of the trap is turning nasty as you have to roll a cloth or papertowel onto the end of a stick like a giant Q-Tip to wipe that end of the trap out. This one looks better designed and easy to use and clean out. Shawn suggests that you make sure you buy from the original OWLTRA company store as there are copy-cat listings for this trap. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on October 20, 2025* It is straightforward to use and is effective. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***H on January 26, 2025* Es ist die beste Falle, die ich je hatte.

I'm not sure why they're suddenly moving into my apartment. I've lived here since 2013 and have never had rodent problems. But whatever. My problem is getting rid of them, not studying their motivations. I was using those tunnel traps from KatSense. They've got the snap jaw mechanism in the middle of the tunnel. And they worked great with the first 4-5 mice. But then the trigger plate stop being so responsive, and next thing I knew I was subsidizing the mice's calorie intake instead of killing them. I'd set the trap, and when I checked it 24 hours later, it was still set but all the peanut butter was gone! It was infuriating. So, went back to Amazon to look into different, hopefully more reliable traps. That's when I came across this OWLTRA Electric Mouse Trap. Instead of relying on a trigger plate and mechanical action to catch the mouse, it's got a metal floor that's hooked to a bank of 4 AA batteries! You put a little stale peanut butter in the bait cup on the far side of the trap (stale peanut butter is a significantly better bait than fresh peanut butter), and set the trap by sliding the power button to the On position. It'll give you a single green light flash letting you know it's properly set, then you just set it along a wall that your mouse likes to travel along. When he approaches the trap, he'll smell the peanut butter and walk inside. As soon as he walks into the trap beyond the doorway, an infrared switch will detect his presence and arm the trap. Then, as he continues to make his way to the bait cup, he walks across the metal floor and those nice AA batteries dump 8000 volts of electricity into the mouse for 90sec, killing him quickly and humanely. Once the mouse is dead, your trap will flash a green indicator light every 10sec so you know you got one. You just remove the lid with the battery pack, and dump the dead mouse outside somewhere. Inspect the trap to make sure it still has peanut butter in it, and the floor is clean and free of debris. Press the lid back into place, power on the trap, and place it in a spot where mice continue to harass you. It's so easy! This trap is superior to tunnel traps, and other mechanical jaw-type traps because mechanical mechanisms come with the possibility of failure, allowing the mice to eat the bait without triggering the trap. There's no mechanics (no moving parts) involved with this fantastic electric trap making it more reliable. It also doesn't come with the potential to leave the mouse alive in agony with a broken back or leg. The electricity passes from the metal floor into the mouse, stopping his heart immediately. And since there's no mechanical jaw crushing down, there's no messy cleanup. Just an intact, dead mouse that was here one minute and gone the next. The say one set of 4 AA batteries can dispatch 60-80 mice, so it's an energy-efficient solution, as well. I picked up a 24-pack of Powermax AA batteries at the same time I ordered the trap for only $6.79, and I believe that will keep my trap fully armed and ready to take out mice for at least a few years. If you're like me, and losing your mind trying to figure out the best, most efficient and effective trap to address your indoor mouse problem, forget about it. You found it. If you're a Prime member, you can have this bad boy delivered to your home as soon as tomorrow. Setup takes 2min, and then you just sit back and relax. Check the trap once a day for the green light, and that's it! ## Frequently Bought Together - OWLTRA Indoor Electric Mouse Trap, Instant Eliminate Rodent Zapper with Pet Safe Trigger, Black, Small - LULUCATCH Mouse & Insect Traps 12 Pack, Heavier Sticky Traps with Non-Toxic Glue for Small Mice & Insects.
