## Overview

The Victor Rat Zapper Classic is a battery-powered electronic trap that humanely kills mice and rats with an 8000-volt shock. Designed for easy, hands-free use, it contains rodents discreetly inside a sealed chamber, eliminating mess and exposure to poisons. Ideal for indoor use in spaces like garages and basements, it offers a safe, sanitary, and effective solution for managing rodent infestations.

## Description

The Victor Rat Zapper Classic trap has been designed for trapping both mice and average-sized rats. A humane and safe solution to get rid of any rodent infestation. From set-up and use through cleaning and maintenance, each zap will be a snap thanks to the easy-to-use design. This electronic trap is equipped with smart circuit technology that senses when a rodent enters it. Once inside, the rat steps on the metal plates, which completes the circuit and delivers a humane, high-voltage shock. Since rats are able to restart their hearts, the shock is applied continuously for 2 minutes to ensure higher kill rates. Unlike standard rat traps, you don’t have to touch or look at dead rodents. The rat is contained within the kill chamber, which hides it from sight, while the indicator light lets you know when it’s time to empty. After a kill, just tip the trap to discard the dead rodent into the trash without having to touch it. 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 with caution around children and pets

Review: Leider liefert desertcart keine Victorfallen nach Österreich, was aber am Exklusivvertrieb der Firma Woodstream in England liegt. Sowas ärgert mich immer wieder, zumal keine gesetzlichen Vorschriften bzw. Beschränkungen bestehen, es keine rechtlichen Gründe gibt, wir im freien Markt in der EU sind, eine Währung haben und ein Nachbarland von Deutschland sind. Allen Zustelldiensten und auch der Post ist es doch egal, ob sie innerhalb von Deutschland oder nach Österreich liefern. Da ich aber unbedingt eine elektronische Falle von Victor ausprobieren wollte, habe ich halt beim Marketplace-Anbieter Norax GmbH. gekauft. Danke an Norax für die schnelle und prompte Lieferung. Die Falle ist überraschend gut verarbeitet, groß, stabil und die Bedienung sehr einfach. Es braucht absolut keine Englischkenntnisse um damit klarzukommen. Ein Besuch der engl. Homepage (umschaltbar auf Deutsch) lohnt sich ebenfalls, da zusätzlich zu den Anleitungen auch sehr interessante Kenntnisse über Schädlingsbekämpfung und ausgezeichnete Tipps zu Fallen und Fang dazu vermittelt werden. Ein Kollege von mir, der ebenfalls schon länger eine solche Falle hat, hat mir dringend empfohlen, sehr gute und starke Batterien von z.B. Energizer oder Duracell zu verwenden (keine Billigmarken oder wiederaufladbare Akkus), da die Falle für den zweiminütigen 8000 Volt starken Stromstoß sehr viel Energie braucht. Das genügt dann auch für die größte und stärkste Wanderratte. Weiters sollte die Falle innen sehr sauber und vor allem trocken gehalten werden, damit die Funktion nicht beeinträchtigt wird. Ich habe die Falle mit Nutella bestückt und in meiner Garage aufgestellt. Heute habe ich am blinkenden Licht gesehen, dass etwas gefangen wurde. Es war eine recht große Maus. Den einzigen Kritikpunkt den ich an der Falle habe, ist die Energieversorgung mit 4 AA-Batterien. Hier sollten großvolumigere und stärkere Akkus zum Einsatz kommen. Die Falle verdient aber auf jeden Fall die volle Sterneanzahl.
Review: I cannot begin to express how incredibe this product is. I just purchased a few more of these Original Rat Zappers because they absolutely kill rats! Our area in Ahwatukee (Phoenix) is infested with roof rats due to the numerous citrus trees in yards. Some folks just won't pick their fruit so the rats run freely day and night throughout the neighborhoods. This all began about 4 years ago, and it's getting worse each year. My beloved Rat Zappers killed 3 rats on Thursday, 2 yesterday, and another one this morning. All of the rats were zapped while on my back patio so it's a huge relief to me to have this product doing its job! Much better than bait stations which actually lure the rats to your property and poison them slowly to die wherever.... I can't praise this product enough. Thank you Victor Pest for purchasing the company that invented the Rat Zapper. I will continue to use and review this product. It's been well worth the money I spend on these units! I wish they'd wise up and realize my yard means death to them and they head elsewhere. UPDATE: I continue to use these Rat Zappers with GREAT SUCCESS! I hate to say that. I wish our community would be more proactive in regards to eradicating the roof rats that continue to plague this area. The rat population has grown especially when folks refuse to pick the citrus from their trees. Please note: Victor Pest has discontinued the wonderful accessory, the Rat Tales which allowed you to place the Zappers in hidden areas and see blinking eyes on the Rat Tale warning you of a kill without having to directly check the Zappers hidden behind objects. I am really disappointed to see the end of the Rat Tales. I did not discover a dead rat in a Zapper for three days and it smelled awful once discovered and was covered in maggots. Victor Pest you made a bad decision by discontinuing a remarkably great accessory!!! PLEASE BRING BACK THE RAT TALES!!! I am guessing you did this, Victor Pest so that you can sell more Rat Packs which I truly do not think is necessary on the Classic Zapper. The four AA batteries really work for a long time here in AZ and the Rat Tales are a better and more useful accessory. UPDATED REVIEW!!! TESTIMONIAL!!! I still swear by my Rat Zappers. I have been using them successfully to kill countless numbers of large and small rats for the past few years. I have only been using the Classic purple Rat Zappers. They haven't failed me. I tried the Ultra version, never killed a single rat. I just saw that the current manufacturer, Victor Pest has modified this product. In my opinion, they should have left it alone. It was perfect. They seem to have modified the metal plate and changed the red flashing light to a green light. I have not purchased the newer version. I own many of the original Classic version. For some reason they wanted it to match their other products at Victor Pest. The red light is so much better!!! It really warns you by the fast flashing red light that you have a DEAD rat inside. I think green is a stupid choice and I understand that it now blinks very slowly to prevent battery usage. You don't want to miss the fact that you have a DEAD rat inside the unit. It will decompose, attract maggots and stink like hell. I still love the fact that I don't have to see the disgusting vermin when I turn off the Zapper, tip over the unit, and dump the carcass into a garbage bag. There is NO WAY I could handle a traditional trap and a DEAD rat in my face.I I use Planters salted peanuts as bait. Victor Pest, please don't mess with a good thing. Thousands of folks should be trapping with this incredible product. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: My Pest control man says to never wash out this unit after a successful kill. The scent of the previous rat lures other rats to follow the scent trail into the trap. From my experience, I believe this is absolutely true! He refers to this as a 'great seasoned trap' and he says he wishes he had tons of them. I live in an upscale neighborhood in Ahwatukee AZ and the rats came here years ago for the citrus trees in the neighborhood. They never left and have increased substantially over the years. It is especially bad during this colder time of the year. I have zapped/killed 4 rats this week alone on my back patio. 2 large parents and 2 baby rats. Rats run wild at night, across block walks and through yards seeking food which is being provided by unpicked citrus and outdoor bird feeders, pet food and vegetable gardens. They tend to hug and travel along walls at night so place the units parallel and against your wall on your patio. People also need to wake up and be more responsible to not help feed these vermin. Rats are rarely seen since they try to avoid human contact during the day and are nocturnal. If you are not trapping, you may never see one even though they ARE in your yards at night. Rat Zappers work! I could not live here without them. To VICTOR PEST if you read these reviews, Please bring back the Rat Tale. It is an exceptional accessory to the Rat Zapper. I use a Rat Tale on each unit. They are wonderful and allow me to see a kill without having to check each Zapper up close. I am a longtime customer who first bought this product from the original inventor company. They were superb to contact and they created a genius product! NEW UPDATE - JULY 2023 I ordered 7 more Rat Zappers to have backups and today I discovered that the design of the ones I ordered has dramatically changed from the ORIGINAL CLASSIC PURPLE RAT ZAPPERS that I purchased years ago from the company who invented the product before being purchased by Victor Pest (Woodstream is the parent company). I contacted an executive at Woodstream today expressing my concerns about the changes to the product. The red exposed wire inside the unit is a problem as was detailed in a video on desertcart, when a rat chewed on the red wire resulting in the dead rat not being able to be removed from the Zapper since its teeth were still affixed to the wire! I sent photos of the Original Classic Rat Zapper to this executive, comparing it to this new revised version. Woodstream should have left perfection alone and not altered this product, in my opinion. The Woodstream designers also removed the small round opening on the top of the unit where a Rat Tale could be connected allowing you to see a kill from 12 feet away when the Zapper is hidden behind furniture, etc. I implored Woodstream by phone and email, to return to the Original Classic design which I considered flawless after using that version for many many kills over many many years. I just armed one of the revised new units and will now personally test it next to one of the Original Classic units which is still operating successfully. After reading many disgruntled recent reviews of the revised product, I want to see the results myself. The question remains, 'Has Woodstream ruined an efficient, well designed vermin eliminator by modifying a successful design?' We shall see... I will post my results as soon as I can see the new unit working. I sincerely hope that Woodstream will respect my suggestions to return to the older version design since I have truly field tested this product over many years under various changing environmental conditions. You can see that in my previous reviews above.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: This rat zapper does not work anymore. Every time I turn it on it just keeps buzzing for few minutes and then lights keeps blinking, any suggestions?**
A: I found that when I was using rechargeable batteries and they get low on power, the zapper will buzz when turned on and then the light keeps blinking. This was fixed with new batteries.

**Q: Can the unit be placed in an outdoor garden?**
A: It cannot get wet, so we have placed one in a 5 gallon bucket on its side. Any moisture will cause a malfunction.  Good luck!

**Q: Is it humane? Is it instantaneous?**
A: The text states that the voltage is applied for two minutes because rats can restart their hearts.  This does not sound humane to me

**Q: battery size**
A: It takes a AA Lithium batteries, (4) But will tell you this , If something goes wrong with it before warranty is up, customer service sucks! Had to send mine back after catching 10 rats, cause it stopped working. Customer service sucks even tho they have a great product! Guess you have to take your chances.  I sent mine back over a month ago, Have not heard from them since and they have the rat zapper plus 4 batteries that I paid $6.97 for. Will not pay $33 for another because of this. My son-in-law is an exterminator! Will use his company from now on.Too bad too! Still trying to contact them and no answer. They have email address plus my address and phone number! What's up with that?

J'ai testé BEAUCOUP de systèmes différents (tapettes, plaques de colle, autres pièges électriques) et le meilleur de très loin est celui-ci. Il est très simple, un large tunnel, aucun mécanisme apparent, on place l'appât au bout. La souris ne se doute de rien (c'est malin ces bestioles...) et se retrouve électrocutée par la plaque quand elle va prendre l'appât (à ma grande surprise, on peut électrocuter une souris avec des piles sans problème). Quand une souris est tuée, une diode clignote. L'animal ne souffre apparemment pas (la souris meurt sur le coup), et l'appareil est très simple à utiliser. Il suffit de faire glisser la souris morte dans la poubelle, aucun contact ni rien à nettoyer. J'en suis à ma cinquième souris avec le Rat Zapper que je recommande donc chaudement.
