![PIC Mouse Traps [Reusable Kill Traps] (Mouse Traps - Set of 3)](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81ZWPnPvPdL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
These had a strong plastic smell when I received them, so I was concerned about their effectiveness, but they have been very successful. I tried using live traps first, but after being unsuccessful at eradicating the problem, I decided to try these, also.
The bait holder is very small and you have to be careful to put the bait (I use peanut butter with a peanut on top) in the little "tray" for bait. I don't know if it matters, but I'm careful to clean off any peanut butter that might touch the metal strip on the edge of the "tray," which is harder than it sounds while wearing gloves. Lol. The top is easy to press on, but a little hard to take off due to my not wanting a dead rodent to fly out (eek!). After baiting the trap and replacing the lid, I turn the trap on (a green light on the lid flashes on to indicate it's working) and place it in a location that I believe has rodent traffic or has droppings nearby.
I check the traps at least twice a day for the flashing that indicates a mouse has been caught. It flashes slowly, so you have to wait a while to see if it's flashing. After a mouse has been caught, you have to empty & clean the trap. By slightly & carefully wiggling the lid back and forth, I'm able to remove the lid without flinging a dead rodent across the house. After dumping the dead rodent, I wipe out the inside of the trap with a paper towel that has a little foaming hand soap on it, rebait the trap, and then put it back where I successfully caught the previous rodent. This has been very effective for me and the electric traps seem better at catching the smaller, younger mice than the live traps. The mice also seem to follow the trails of the previous mice, so placing the traps back in the same location has been very successful for me.
I am currently using a mix of live and electric traps, and these electric traps seem much more successful at catching the smaller, younger mice. I try to catch as many live as I can, but I'd rather get rid of my rodent problem than allow them to overrun my basement. I think that people not having success with these traps might not be placing them in the most effective locations or might be using the wrong bait. I've also noticed that the peanut butter in all of the traps I use will dry out or mold after 5-7 days, so I am cleaning out and rebaiting traps at least every 5-7 days.
Overall, these traps are very effective, easy to use, and easy to clean. After the initial smell dissipated, I was able to catch 1-2 mice a day for a few days and have hopefully resolved our problem. If you see signs of rodents and don't catch anything, I recommend checking your bait freshness, your batteries, and then try moving the traps to another location. These are working great for me and I will buy more if I start noticing an increase in rodent activity.

How to Use Owltra Rodent Zapper Trap
|
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
1. Insert BatteriesTurn the switch to OFF Position, inset the batteries. |
2. Load the BaitLift the bait cover and put bait into the bait cup. Please place the bait correctly as shown in the picture. Wrong placement may cause the trap fail to work, or the bait may be eaten without rodent being caught. Rodents have different living habits and dietary tastes. Some mice are more intelligent and cautious, and are more likely not to enter a new environment/go into a trap. This requires time and patience. If you are not able to catch rodents for a few days, try changing the food, or putting some nuts at the entrance of the product to guide the mice in. |
3. Power-on the Device and Set the TrapClose the bait cover, turn the power switch to ON Position. Place the traps where rat activity is frequent, entrance facing out. CAUTION: OWLTRA electric traps can only be used indoors. Please do not use this product outdoors to avoid damage of the product. |
4. Cleaning the TrapThe upper electric part couldn’t be cleaned by water, and the lower part of the trap chamber can be washed with water. After cleaning, please wait for the trap chamber to thoroughly dry before turning it on, otherwise it may cause the power-on self-test to fail (both red and green light flash). If necessary, you can use a hair dryer to dry the metal plate. Then restart it. Close the switch until it can start normally. |

Perfect and humane as possible...
Apologies for the picture but I had to have evidence that at least one of the little perpetrators died without brutality and in a humane way.I have been being terrorized by some little monster in the middle of the night. I was never able to find evidence of feces until just recently.I am an animal lover and could not stand the thought of the possibility of a snap trap just catching their arm or leg or something else and having them suffer so I decided to purchase two of these.I put one by the stove and one by the dishwasher, which is where I see one dart from and go to. I went to take a shower and it was about 4:00 am. I came back down my hall in the dark and noticed that there was a flashing green light. I thought that it impossible that anything was caught that quickly. I put my robe on and pick the Box up which seemed heavier then it was when I put it there 45 minutes earlier. I took it outside and very carefully opened it and was shocked to see that this little guy was in there.It is NOT the primary terrorist though so I guess that the things that I have read on the internet about there being more than one if you see one are accurate 😑The last straw for me, and why I purchased this more expensive product, was when I saw little poop droppings near my tiny little dog's water bowl. She is recovering from a stroke and I'm being absolutely meticulous about everything for her. There is no way on Earth that I am going to allow her to be sickened by animals coming into our home.I am very pleased that the little creature did not have to suffer. I am scared to death of snap traps because I think that they can, absolutely, not hit the target of immediately killing but harm the little creature and I want no suffering to come to any little darling (even though they are not so darling when they are busy continually pooping and doing all kinds of other damage 😐).I'm grateful that I found this very efficient and humane trap.
