Victor M250S No Touch, No See Upgraded Electronic Mousetrap Black

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 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.

Don't be put of by some of the negative reviews, it works perfectly for mice only, to small for rats We have had mice in our attic causing damage to Christmas decs and suitcases etc so I thought I'd give it a try. Very easy to use, I put a bit of peanut butter in the night it arrived, next morning the green light is flashing and bingo, dead mouse in the trap. I have had this a week now and have caught a mouse every night. 7 and counting. Didn't know there we so many living in my attic. My partner calls it the death box she would have preferred a live trap but I remind her they are just rodents. Great product.

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

Listen. Before recently ( last year, as of the time I am writing this review, ) I have had no experience dealing with mice, or using any kinds of mouse traps. I did however, know that the traditional snap mouse traps almost always cause a very unsightly mess upon successfully making a catch. It was something I definitely did not want to have to see if I could avoid it. I also would not like to have been cleaning it up. So I looked for alternative traps that do the job in a different way. Glue traps are cruel and inhumane to a very extreme degree, causing much pain and suffering, and a slow agonizing death to any mouse that happens to fall into one And as much as I dislike mice, I don't want to put the creatures through such horrific torture. They feel things, just like we humans do. I came across these Victor battery mouse traps, and they check off all the boxes. Quick, clean and deadly. I have counted 4 mice so far, and have also managed to eliminate that many. One of those four mice managed to get in and back out of the traps successfully one time only. This may have been because it was a smaller one, or because the batteries were not fully charged. It would later be caught and face the same demise of the other 3 however. With 4 out of 5 entries into these traps being "successful", I would rate the traps as having approximately an 80% success rate ( which is very good in my opinion, especially considering the clean-up it spares you, as well sparing you the need to look at the eliminated prey after the job is done.)... If used correctly, the most you will see is a tail sticking out of the entrance of the trap where the mouse went in. If you have a bag ready, turn the trap upside down before opening it, drop the mouse into the bag, and then tie the bag without aiming your eyes at whats inside, you will not have to see the mouse at all. You will feel its weight in the bag though as you carry it to wherever you are going to dispose of it. I'm very satisfied with these traps, which is why I have purchased a total of 3. Whenever I get a catch, I take the batteries out, recharge them ( Yes, I use rechargeable batteries ), and then set the trap back up again, using chocolate as bait. If you are squeamish, have a mouse problem, and want to address it in an effective manner, do not delay... These are the traps you are looking for.

Funciona muy bien. Lo único, hay que colocar el cebo con cuidado para que no toque el metal, porque si no, se mantiene activada y te quedas sin batería. Eso sí: sólo vale para ratones pequeños.

Unfortunately this trap was only a trap for my money :( I have clear signs of mice in my house and I have tried using this trap all ways possible. It is almost as if the rats are laughing at you with it. I have tried several times with the recommended bait (peanut butter), and it didn’t work. Then I realized the rats were always going towards my dog’s treats, so I decided to place one on the bait tray - result: no dead mice and NO BAIT LEFT! They managed to get in and out with the bait and still alive…. Waste of money.

Vor dieser Falle habe ich verschiedene Schlagfallen verwendet und war damit nicht zufrieden. Sie haben die Mäuse nicht zuverlässig getötet. Deswegen wollte ich etwas anderes probieren. Die Falle kam aus den USA, wurde aber schnell versendet, eine Woche vor dem angekündigten Lieferdatum. Die Verarbeitung ist wertig, die Bedienung denkbar einfach. Als Köder wird Erdnussbutter empfohlen, ich verwende Nuss-Nougat-Creme. Den ersten Fang hatte ich gleich in der ersten Nacht, den zweiten einige Tage später. Beide Mäuse haben nicht sichtbar gelitten. Die Falle blinkt nach Auslösen grün, sodass man gar nicht ganz hingehen muss. "No Touch, No See"-Entsorgung ist möglich. Ein Mäuseschwanz kann aber hinten herausschauen. Für mich ein gutes Produkt.

Reçu vendredi. Placé vendredi soir avec de la pâte de noix de cajou comme appât (manipulé avec des gants!!) et vérifié chaque 24h. 2 jours, 2 souris adultes. Les pièges collants (ont fonctionné 1 seule fois- 4 individus collés mais plus rien ensuite et de la colle qui finit par dégouliner sur le plancher beurk) et pièges DIY ne m'avaient permis de capturer que des bébés. Vu la configuration du piège, il faut absolument ouvrir le piège pour récupérer la souris. Ne faites pas comme nous qui avons essayé de la tirer par le trou d'entrée :-/
