Product Details

The Rat Zapper Ultra Rodent Trap offers you more kills and longer stand by times. This trap is perfect for larger rats (and mice too), ongoing rodent infestations and commercial applications. The kill chamber is larger than the Rat Zapper Classic. Bait with ordinary pet food or another high-protein bait (peanut butter, etc. ). Mice and rats enter the chamber and are dispatched with a powerful jolt of electricity. If they'll fit in the chamber, the Rat Zapper will dispatch them. No blood, no gore, no mess and no poisons to endanger your pets or the environment. Flashing kill light tells you when you have a catch; simply tip the Rat Zapper and let the dead rodent slide out. Dimensions: Approximately 4 in. x 4.75 in. x 11.5 in. Approximately 60 kills with 1 set of 4 alkaline "D" cell batteries (not included). Easy to use and reusable.

Answer This Question

A:  Replacement parts for these traps are not available. If the metal plates have been cleaned and the trap is still not operating, then it would need to be replaced.

      Answer This Question

      A:  Nina hearing zapping or snaping sounds without a mouse suggests to me there is either moisture or wet debri left inside. Sometimes an animal will pee or deficate after being zapped. You could try to clean the inside metal plates with alcohol allowing plenty of time to dry out. Of course do this without the batteries installed. Be carefull because the unit could still hold a charge. If that does not fix it then there is a defect and is arcing inside between components. In other words throw it away or try returning it.

      A:  The plate needs to be cleaned. Left over...er... mouse... is gumming up the plate that conducts the electricity into the rodent.

      A:  Those were a rats last thoughts, Our trap worked very well until it hit the floor once too often.

        A:  Generating thousands of volts from 6 volts is very common. There are electronc circuits inside that turn the dc battery voltage into AC. The AC voltage is applied to a transformer. The transformers design has a turns ratio of well over 1000 to 1. Basically it boosts the voltage to 1000's of volts. That high AC voltage is rectified back to DC and applied to a large capacitor where it is stored untill needed. The current (amps) is extremly low as a result of the transformation So low its not leathal to humans. Dont get brave it will still knock you on your rear.

        A:  The internal components will convert the power from the battery into the voltage output that you should be seeing with the trap (between approximately 7,000 - 9,000 volts).

            First night out - first rat gone!
            They eat holes in my soffits, get into my roof and are generally a pain. This trap (I was of little faith, thought it would fail) rid me of one the first time I set it with a little smeared peanut butter. Will try again tonight for the second one. They have been scurrying on my screen porch, eating holes in the screen, getting in wherever they could. Even with "rodent repellent" spray foam they still ate through it. Thank you Victor for a better rat trap.

              Totally dead.
              Caught and Zapped this huge male Rat looking to build a nest in my attic and invite his brood. He picked the wrong house. So big he must have squeezed himself into the death chamber.

                I purchased 3 off these rat traps 2 off them are defective not working Been changing the batteries and nothing changes Be careful as when I purchased 3 off them only 1 has the green light activated that shows it’s working. Spoke with Home Depot they gave me a number to call called Victor pets at 855-584-2867 Been trying a few times yams no one comes to the phone. Waste off money and a rip off.

                  Four Rats in One Night!
                  After watching 3 rats completely avoid this trap I thought I had wasted my money but we thought maybe they knew it was on. We left it off and baited it with dog food for two nights and on the third night we turned it on and we got one! I immediately reset the trap and that night we repeated this catching 4 rats in one night! Seeing that little light blinking red brings me so much joy we have been struggling for months with these rats

                    WORKED LIKE A CHARM!
                    I wasn't expecting this electric trap to work, BUT MAN WAS I WRONG! Placed two of them up yesterday afternoon, and by the next morning both traps had killed a rodent. Make sure to use gloves when handling any rodent traps, that way your scent is not on them. I used saltine crackers and some fresh cheddar cheese on both them, which seems to really work too. I'm going to set the traps up again after work, and hopefully catch any more rodents that we still might have. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE, especially since I've tried quiet a few other traps with very little or no success.

                      Worked, Really quickly too
                      This was totally worth it for me, after misses with glue traps and traditional snap traps for 3 days, this worked really quickly. I knew where the rat was coming in so placed the zapper along it’s path, baited it with a few pieces of apple

                        I ordered this because I had squirrels killing my tomato plants and getting on my bird feeders. I've had it for less than a week and got one today! Worked just as I had hoped.

                          We have had these units for a few years and they work great. We have a lot of mice starting with cooler weather and these things get them. I bought professional food bait from an exterminator supply and put a tiny dab on a piece of dry dog food. The mice line up for it and I sometimes get 2 or 3 a day until the mice thin out. I have had multiple kills without replacing the bait because they never get to take a bite. I don't think it gets a full 60 kills per set of batteries and I think it's because there must be a small drain during the standby time but it does get a pile. This is the only clean and safe method we have that really works. We have 3 small dogs and don't want to use any kind of poison. Besides who wants mice rotting in the walls.
