Victor M250BSR-2 Indoor Electronic Humane Mouse Trap - No Touch, No See Electric Mouse Trap - 2 Pack

This is a seriously cool mouse trap! This thing makes me feel like I’m living in the future. Not only does it look the business but it’s also super easy to setup and provides a tidy, mess free mouse trapping environment. The problem with standard traps is that they can be messy when successfully activated. The problem with sticky traps is that they are effective but awfully cruel and a nightmare if you stand on one or have pets. The problem with humane traps is that mice (in my experience) just don’t use them and even if they did, they can be cruel too if you’re on holiday somewhere and the poor thing is left to starve to death. This trap, then, is the best of all worlds. It’s super easy to setup. You just separate the two compartments and put 4xAA batteries in the left side. You then open the right side (the mouse catching bit) and put a big dollop of peanut butter on the end panel. This, cleverly, has a plastic wall next to it which is perforated with holes to let the mouse sniff the goodness inside! You then click both pieces back together and switch on. When you do this, a green light shows and there is a satisfying buzz/hum to let you know that the electrification mechanism is armed. You then place the box next to a wall in a troublesome area and wait for a curious mouse to sniff the peanut butter, enter the trap and be immediately electrocuted. It’s quick, effective and there’s no mess. If a mouse enters the trap and actives it, the trap flashes a green light on top to let you know that it’s caught something. You can then safely switch it off, dispose of the mouse and wipe out the container ready for re-arming. This thing is seriously cool and works like a dream. After unsuccessfully attempted to remove mice with the other type of traps, this thing attracted and disposed of them straight away. Yes, it’s more expensive than your standard traps but it’s way more effective, much cleaner and you don’t run the risk of causing immense pain to your fingers when the setup process goes wrong! Snap!!! Highly recommended!

I bought 2 of these in desperation after spending a lot of money on professional pest control and another small fortune on storage containers for absolutely everything a mouse might want to eat. The last straw was coming in the kitchen one evening to see a mouse sitting in the middle of my kitchen table. I never managed to catch any mice in the ones where you can let them out humanely and couldn’t bear to see Mr or Mrs Mouse squashed in a traditional trap. I don’t really like the idea of poison, either, in case they were to succumb somewhere under the floorboards! Well! Let me tell you I have managed to catch 8 so far with just one of these devices. They are very easy to set up and I baited mine with a teeny bit of peanut butter and small trail of oats. You just put in the batteries and turn it on, waiting for a buzz to tell you that it’s good to go. You know when you’ve caught a mouse, because the next morning, a green light flashes! Even disposal is super easy as you don’t actually need to see the poor little mouse as you can just open the compartment away from you without having to look. My only dilemma is exactly how to dispose of them, as I don’t really like the idea of the poor things rotting in the dustbin, so I’ve been getting my husband to put them out near to a small piece of wasteland close to us. They seem to disappear, so perhaps the foxes take them, who knows? Anyway, I highly recommend these little contraptions!

I bought two of these in and placed them upstairs where we'd had several sightings of a mouse. I also set a couple of traditional traps in the garage (where I think the mouse was coming in from). Over the ensuing months, the traps in the garage caught a couple of field mice (definitely not the mouse we'd seen), and our visitor was sighted several times more, until.... he was caught in one of the garage mousetraps. Once I was sure there was no mouse activity, I decided to clean these electronic traps and put them away for future use, and imagine my surprise when I opened them to find no trace of bait. None! Obviously the mouse had helped himself to the bait at some point, with no bad effects. Complete waste of money, and they're not cheap. Very annoyed.

Have had multiple of these now. Excellent at killing one or two mice, but after that the unit seems to stop functioning. The footplate gets a scorch mark on it, and the trap will no longer kill. Light flashes green but no mouse inside. Replacing batteries doesn't fix it. I think these traps burn themselves out.

Mice in the attic is not something anyone wants to hear. We're kept awake every year in the lead up to winter by gnawing and scratching above our heads. Poison is usually effective but ultimately means that there are mouse corpses rotting away somewhere and not something I want. I bought this, set it up and on the first night caught one of the little buggers. It's simple to use and clearly very effective at doing its thing. Pros - Effective at its job. No more partially murdered rodents dragging their sorry selves around in pain. Zap and done. - No mess. Other traps can leave a real mess, snap traps can basically eviscerate/behead mice. We've had it and I'd rather not have it again. - Easy. Whack in the batteries. Put the bait on the bait spot. Put it in area they run through. Turn it on. - Quick clean/reload, no touching disease/lice ridden bodies. Open the top, empty into bin and repeat above (minus batteries) - Pretty humane. It's sad to have to kill animals but ultimately live catch traps mean one of two things, they're coming back or infesting someone else's house depending on how far away you take them OR they are probably going to be attacked or vulnerable without a nest/knowledge of where food is out in the wild if they were born and raised in your attic in winter. Snap traps can do half a job and it's not pretty. This thing either works or they get a jolt, either way it's over quickly. -The trap isn't going anywhere. With snap traps they can sometimes easily survive long enough to drag themselves and the trap behind kitchen cabinets/under fridges and be lost to rot away somewhere, plus you just lost your trap. With this they are not moving it anywhere. Cons - Even on offer it's kind of pricey. Decent snap traps can be picked up for pennies on the pound and you can have multiple traps going. £20 is not something you're going to double down on too much. This feeds into the next problem. - Lack of repeatability. Once the trap has done its job it's out of action, in fact other mice will quite happily climb over its furry friend to steal the bait he/she was trying to get. This wouldn't be an issue if they were a bit cheaper so you could put multiples down but they are not. Frankly there really isn't any excuse for this price, the electronics inside can be found inside of poundland fly swatters and it doesn't even include batteries. Either make the trap a repeater (like the much more expensive and way overpriced big brother version of this one that costs about £50) or make it reasonable please, your brand name isn't *that* reputable. I hate to say it but mice are rarely alone and can breed like... well mice. Trap many or GTFO unfortunately. Summary/TLDR Would I buy it again? Probably. It works. It's effective. It's easy. It's less messy in multiple senses of the word. However it is over priced and not really a practical option for dealing with an infestation, they will literally breed faster than you could kill and check traps in all but the most convenient locations. If you're not squeemish, have loose morals about killing vermin humanely or are on a budget just get a ton of snap traps/wildlife friendly poison and get the job done. If you

A collection of mice moved into the shed and proceeded to tear into everything like an ageing rock star smashing up a hotel room. The mess was indescribable, although I can try - they basically shredded almost everything and what the couldn't shred they used as a toilet. Cleared all the mess out and wanted a trap that would be fast and humane, but which wouldn't muck about. So, on a friend's advice, we got this ... baited with peanut butter and it works a treat. Light didn't flash when making a kill though so still have to check daily but that's a good habit to get into - the only thing that smells worse than a live mouse's pee is a dead mouse. No mess because it doesn't physically injured the mouse, just electrocutes them. No idea on battery life yet as we've not had it long enough, but it does what it claims to, and to all mice in the area I'd just like to say You Have Been Warned - we're kindly folk but if you smash our shed up we're going to war. Capice?

Trap worked fine for the first few months but then stopped working. Tried several change of batteries but it simply stopped charging the metal plate so mice could eat the bait with impunity. Won't buy this model again

We have had this make of trap before and required some more for a winter increase in mice indoors. These suckers never seem to fail. I have read plenty of mixed reviews but I just don't get it. Over a one week period 11 mice shuffled off this mortal coil and went to join their maker. I have now not seen 1 mouse or signs of since then. Think I might have got them! The good thing about these traps is that there is no scraping bits of mice off the traps or off the walls when they've been 'mushed' in a mechanical trap or the smell of decaying mouse when they've made it to a nice out of reach spot to die after being poisoned. The one thing I would say the BEST thing, by far, to bait these traps with is peanut. And I can say that the mice couldn't give a stuff if it's cheap, expensive, nutty, smooth or even organic.

Oggetto consigliatissimo!!! In casa avevo notato "tracce" di un topolino che, furbo, schivava le varie tavolette adesive. Ho voluto provare con questa trappola. Per iniziare ho messo semplicemente delle noccioline americane (arachidi) in un piattino di plastica per vedere se l'esca era gradita: spolverate! Poi sono passato ad inserire le noccioline nella trappola, ma tenendola spenta: noccioline spolverate Infine ho messo le noccioline nella trappola accesa: ZAP! Ospite beccato! Il secondo giorno ho provato a spostare la trappola in un altro luogo: altro ospite beccato! Note importanti: 1) maneggiate meno possibile trappola e esca, i topi sono molto diffidenti dall'odore dell'uomo 2) la trappola deve essere con l'ingresso messo lungo un muro 3) lavate accuratamente la parte con l'esca dopo ogni cattura (si lava con acqua e sapone) 4) Stranamente con la seconda cattura lampeggiava la luce rosse (batterie scariche) invece di quella verde, anche se le batterie erano cariche 5) Il led di avvenuta cattura lampeggia MOOOOLTO lentamente (circa 10/15 secondi) 6) Usate batterie con discreto amperaggio (Duracell). Io la uso con ricaricabili NI-Mh da 2500 mAh e non fa una piega! 7) Prima di mettere in funzione la trappola individuate, col metodo di cui sopra, l'esca adatta

Al segundo día cayó el primero. Quería dejar de usar trampas de pegamento ya que es un lío sacrificarlos cuando están pegados tratando de escapar, y lo logré la trampa me está ahorrando dinero al no comprar más trampas de pegamento. Solo un detalle, las cucarachas también llegan a caer😂 Recomiendo tener pilas recargables y cargador, ambas cosas buena calidad y así evitar gastos en pilas alcalinas.

No one wants to learn from a vacation that your house had squatters when returning. I've never dealt with such problems in adulthood, so naturally I went to my expert friend Google, and compared options. From childhood, I remember being woke up by snapping traps, once hearing a poor trapped thing clatter about when it's tail was caught, but not it's head. Worse was my dad smacking the ground and missing the scrambling thing with his shoe...until he didn't. So these traps sounded like an option that wouldn't keep me up at night or traumatize anyone with bad shoe aim. It did, in fact, keep me up at night (Though thankfully, no whacking with shoes needed) The box arrived around 5:45pm. Do be prepared these take 4 AA batteries each. Luckily, my wife is a hoarder of such goods. The light flicked green, then the thing went dormant. So dormant, I wondered if it was working. But I figured I had nothing to lose leaving them down, and I could always send them back if they didn't work. Of course, like any impulsive purchase made after one raving review, I found some less-than-savory ones, so I began to worry. You also need peanut butter. For full disclosure, I found some old "Jif" in my pantry which we used. I had no need to worry. We camped in the living room, owing to our sheets and bed needing cleaning from our squatter problem. I was up late, listening to the patter of tiny squatters, and finally forced myself to sleep. I hit that right state of sleep that it's rude to wake someone during, when a loud buzz woke me. No squeak, no squeal, just a clear electric buzz for almost 10 seconds. I turned to my nearest trap, and when the buzz stopped, a green light went off. So I drug myself off the couch at 12:30am, found some gloves, and went for the trap. Sure enough, when I got to my outside dumpster, I dumped the cartridge to a satisfying *thump*. I hadn't check earlier if there was indeed a corpse, not wanting to actually see my victim's remains. But that's not all. I go back inside, checked the batteries in the device (still strong), and put the trap back where I had ensnared a squatter. That's when I saw it. The second trap had a green light. My wife then says, "I have work tomorrow, turn the light of and go to bed." Like any husband, I was so focused on one task I hadn't processed her words yet, and I stared to see the green light blink again. I sigh, luckily not having removed the gloves yet, and went for the second device. I go outside, and I'm met with a neighborhood stray cat. He looks at me, and I at him. He seemed to know what I carried, and I made a questionable choice. I dumped the cartridge toward him, and the cat ran off with it's prize. I only realized later, I probably shouldn't have paid it for my de-mousing the neighborhood. So I returned, ready for some sleep. I reset the second trap, took off the gloves, washed my hands, and sat down. Figuring the drama over, I rolled to the side and saw a flashing green light by my door. The first trap was already full again. It was at this point my wife was getting mad, as the lights went on again while I dealt with this. No stray got this prize, as the thump joined it's friend in the dumpster. When I came back and reset the trap again, both traps sat dormant. So I went back to dreamland. I'll have you know, I was woken twice more. No buzz was ever as obnoxious as the first. Indeed one I thought was my phone vibrating, and the other was my dog bolting up and barking (The second thoroughly irritating my already irritable wife, who had work in 2 hours and had only small sleep thanks to this purchase). All told, I write this 12 hours from the delivery of the box, and 7 of my squatters have had a shocking end of life experience. I hazarded a glance in my trash can this morning, finding 6 varying mouse bodies when I just made the last dump a few minutes ago. I can confirm what was trapped was indeed the vermin who thought our vacation would be theirs as well. Let me pause to say I think the number just went to 8 as I write this, as that was not my phone vibrating. So I shall conclude with this as I need to don more gloves and check another device. After finding our home alarmingly invaded, these devices kept us from sleeping, made my wife cranky, and helped reclaim our home from squatters. While I feel sorry for my wife's co-workers who must deal with her on minimal sleep after a vacation, I do not feel bad for my purchase. All 8 batteries spent (4 per trap) are still going strong, and if you're squeamish there's no need to look. Simply pick up the device, power it down, and open the hatch when only over a trashcan. I would probably bag the bodies if you don't have outside receptacles, as these things can carry nasty diseases. The only way these could be better is if they would scrub my house free of the squatter's trash and feces, as I've been told is my job today by a very cranky and sleep deprived wife.
