Summary: Hates those Mieces to Pieces!!
Comment: Works great!! We got so tired of having to clean up and throw away good food from our pantry every other night or so despite having almost all items in containers and storage jars. This is about as humane a method to kill a rodent as there can be (if that is really possible). No fuss, no mess, no smell, though keep in mind our unit is under the sink. BEST rodent remover I have ever used outside of a good mouser barn cat. We keep the unit clean (the instructions are included, its VERY simple) and we turn it off every morning then back on at dusk (since mice are nocturnal) to help extend the battery life.
Do note that according to the instructions you can NOT use rechargeable batteries. We really haven't found this to be an issue as we are not over run, simply keeping the few that try to sneak in for the winter season OUT of our food and our house!! I am very happy we spent the money on this product, it was well worth it.

Summary: Build A Better Mouse Trap? They've Actually Done It!
Comment: If you're on the internet searching for ways to kill mice, you're likely as desperate as I was when I bought this product. I live in the country and just couldn't get rid of the little guys. Traditional traps worked when they didn't lick them clean of peanut butter, but were such a hastle to set up. Also, I'd have to set 4 or 5 of them just to catch the mouse. This is the best $40 I've spent. I was ready to spend an arm and a leg with an exterminator but even then they would likely just use poison - which I had even already tried (against my better judgement!). It works GREAT - I've killed 4 mice since I bought it about 6 weeks ago. It stays activated until it gets a mouse so I just leave it in a troublesome corner and sure enough, it's getting them every time. Also, I've had 4 kills and the batteries still seem good. If you're at your wits end and looking for a solution - this is it. I can't say enough good things about it!

Summary: Gets rid of the ick factor
Comment: After having a dog eat rat poison and having to watch it very carefully for a month with Vitamin K supplements, I did not want to deal with poison again. I also found a major ick factor dealing with snap traps, even when placed in a paper bag (sometime the rats drag the traps)
i am not a patient person especially when it comes to getting vermin out of the house and that has been my biggest problem with these traps so far. It took using chicken feed not dog food (Rats love corn) and having to wait two weeks before they would enter the trap. But after the first kill they finally line up for their last meal. I live in the country so as soon as one vacates a couple days later another tries to move in. I have finally started placing the traps outside near the path the rats were taking from the nearby field they played in during the day to where they would try to enter my house at night. They have stopped removing the steel wool I filled the holes with by using some expanding foam spray to glue it in place. Previously they were chewing through the foam. With the Rat Zapper, I am feeling less like Elmer Fudd each time I dispose of a carcus.

Summary: One year later and still thrilled!
Comment: I am so thrilled with my Zapper - it just keeps on catching mice - and even a huge rat. This is a great product. I bought a small container of cat food and keep putting a couple of pieces in it - and kaboom - the flashing red light. Highly recommended.

Summary: Works as Advertised
Comment: So here's my story.
I bought the "original" Rat Zapper from a local hardware store probably seven years ago or so. It then "sat" unused ever since - through an ensuing move to a new and, presumably, "rat free" neighborhood. Alas...that assumption was eventually proven incorrect, and that therefore compelled me to (finally) put the Rat Zapper into service.
I live in a fairly nice suburban neighborhood - having moved there from Seattle proper, where rats were an understood and undeniable fact. Here though, we eventually found that we had not entirely escaped them. First, one found its way into the garage (signs included gnaw marks, telltale droppings, etc.,). I caught that one some time ago with a jaw trap, and the problem seemingly subsided. Beyond that, we knew they were still among us in the neighborhood, but they were never a particular "problem." (I know that sounds strange...)
Then, last night, I noticed that one of our kids carved Halloween jack-o-lanterns had been "modified" in a most unflattering way. (rodent teeth were the presumed tool of choice) That therefore led me to FINALLY give the 7-year old rat zapper a try. Note, by the way, that it had been stored in somewhat humid conditions - in our old Seattle basement - and it had what appeared to be minor corrosion on the metal plates that form its inner base. Combining that with its age, I was therefore more than a bit concerned that it wasn't in "tip top condition."
Anyhow ... I know that all sound advice calls for this device to be baited and placed for a few nights WITHOUT arming it - so as to give the little devils an opportunity to discover and become comfortable with their new-found food source. In all honesty, I just didn't have the patience for that last night. (after the pumpkin de-facing)
I therefore loaded it up with some newly charged Energizer 2100 mAh AA batteries and baited it with a small piece of store-bought white bagel topped with peanut butter. I placed it at the side of the house where it meets the adjacent ground, in close proximity to the location of the aforemented pumpkin defacing. To my great delight this morning, I awoke to find the red LED light atop the unit flashing. Even then, I was skeptical, as I'd read other reviews claiming "false alarms" in which the critters presumably strayed into the trap but weren't "zapped" sufficiently to expire them. Not so with last night's encounter, as my trap contained a very dead juvenile rat. (maybe 5 inches in length not including the equal length tail)
Bottom line - Given circumstance, I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase from those seven years ago. On my very first try, with a unit that was admittedly no longer in "pristine" condition, and without even following recommended "protocol," it worked precisely as described. I would therefore recommend the unit to anyone who may be on the fence. Incidentally, the NiMH batteries seemed to do the trick as well - with the only question being how many uses one could expect before a re-charge would be necessary. (they're rated to withstand up to 1,000 recharges, which equates, presumably, to a LOT of rats:)
Incidentally, dispensing with the dead rat was extremely easy - consisting of "dumping" it from the unit into a bag and then tossing it in the garbage. No blood or gore to deal with whatsoever. One down... :)
