Rat Zapper Classic Rat Trap
Kills Rats with Humane, High-Voltage Shock
From set-up and use through cleaning and maintenance, each zap will be a snap thanks to the easy-to-use design. This humane rat trap kills rodents using a high-voltage shock. Since rats are able to restart their hearts, the shock is applied for 2 minutes to ensure higher kill rates.
Mess-Free Cleanup
With the Rat Zapper Classic Rat Trap, cleanup is a breeze. You don’t have to touch or look at dead rodents. The rat is contained within the large kill chamber, which hides it from sight, while the indicator light lets you know when it’s time to empty. After a kill, just dump the dead rodent into the trash without having to touch it.
Designed for Indoor Use
Designed for indoor use or anywhere it won’t be exposed to outdoor elements, the Rat Zapper Classic Rat Trap is perfect for placement in attics, garages, basements and sheds. The trap does not use any poisons or chemicals, but as with any electronic device, use it with caution around children and pets.
Trap Details
- High-voltage shock kills rodent
- Light indicates kill or low battery
- No-touch, no-see cleanup
- Kills one rat per setting
- Kills up to 20 rats per set of batteries
- Requires 4 'AA' batteries (not included)
How the Rat Zapper Works
The Rat Zapper Classic is equipped with smart circuit technology that senses when a rodent enters the trap. Once the rodent is inside, the rat steps on the metal plates, completing the circuit and the trap delivers a continuous shock for 2 minutes. Each time the trap catches a rat, the light on top of the trap flashes red to indicate a kill. For easy, hygienic, no-touch, no-see disposal, simply tip the trap to deposit the dead rodent directly into the trash.
How to Set the Rat Zapper Classic
Insert Batteries
Remove the battery cover. Insert 4 'D' batteries into the battery compartment before replacing the cover.
Bait
Apply a high-protein bait, such as peanut butter, to the back wall of the trap using a Q-tip to avoid leaving your scent.
Place
Locate an area with signs of high rodent activity or place lengthwise along the wall where rodents prefer to travel.
Turn On
Activate by flipping the switch to the 'On' position. A green light will blink once to indicate the trap is functioning.
