I have been using the classic rat zapper for about 5 years and just purchased 2 more with the rat tale monitors. These are the greatest and simplest rodent traps ever.
I have had great success with them and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for an easy way to eliminate rodents from your home. Thanks Rrat Zapper!!!

I submitted a testimonial a few months ago after purchasing a Rat Zapper Ultra. My rat count is now up to twenty-two, and I’m still on my original set of batteries. I had to stop zapping rats for awhile because my wife thought the baby rats were too cute to zap. Now that they’re grown, she isn’t so fond of them. The rats are smart, though. After a week or so of using the Rat Zapper in the same place, they start avoiding it, or bury it with dirt. Then I have to move it and just bait it for a few days with the unit off. That’s usually enough to gain their trust and I start zapping all over again. I am impressed day after day by how well this unit works. I can also testify about the humane way it kills the rats. I was out in the barn when I heard a small zap sound. I looked in the unit immediately, and there was a deader than dead rat. Elapsed time from hearing the zap and looking in the unti was probably less than thirty seconds. That sure beats any other method I’ve tried. No blood, no mess, no suffering. This is the product I’m using from now on.

Like many other people, I tried everything to get rid of the roof rats that managed to get into my kitchen and eat my dogs food and drink his water. These little critters were getting bold and I eyewitnessed them feeding and drinking from the dogs bowls in broad daylight without a care.
I had used conventional spring traps that somehow the rats would get the bait without the trap going off. When they did go off it sometimes left a blood bath massacre scene all over my walls and floor. Disgusting and quite disturbing to me and my kids; not to mention that one time my curious dog got his nose snapped. I had tried glue traps and would find knawd off tails and limbs. I was very frustrated. I wanted them gone but I am kind to all animals and did not want to torture them either.
I purchased a Victor electronic rat trap and followed the instructions. The clever little rats would go in and eat the bait, set off the detector and somehow get away alive. Now I was angry. Those Victor traps cost me $80 for two. The sensor works great, but it didn’t kill a darn thing.
I did more research on the internet and found Rat Zapper. I located a local distributer and went and bought two units. I went home and set the two Rat Zappers in exactly the same location as I had the Victor traps. I re-boxed the Victor traps and returned them to Home Depot. By the time I got home I had already killed my first rat. I dumped the critter into a bag and placed it in the outdoor trash. I re-baited the trap, set it and went to the bathroom. By the time I came back, about 3 minutes, there was the red flashing light again. No way….rat number two.
Thank you Rat Zapper. A clean, humane way to get rid of these pests that actually works. I am sold on your product.
Thanks,

Wow! You have no idea how happy I am.
I have NEVER had mice before and the little pest moved into my apartment…droppings, chewed through food bags, yuck!
I bought a rat trap. No good.
I bought a smaller mouse trap. No good.
I bought poison. No good.
I bought this small black box thing that is supposed to electrocute them. No good.
I bought glue traps. No good.
NOTHING worked!
I got my RatZapper Ultra last week and set it up. This weekend I was like — this isnt working either. I got up in the middle of the night and thought, what is that red light flashing. I had a dead mouse! I threw it out, happy to have it gone. Just for good measure I set it again and just came home from work and darned if it wasnt flashing AGAIN!
Thank you Rat Zapper…you saved the day!

First of all, I want to tell you I have been using the Rat Zapper for 5 years now, with total success. I’ve lived in the North County of San Diego since 1981 and didn’t even know we had rats, that is unitl 2003. I cleaned my garage and found a huge box of vintage clothes ripped to shreads and 2 “rat balls” that the rats had fashioned from plastic, Xmas lights and newspaper. Then they moved into our hot tub and not only chewed an 1 inch thick cable in half, but pooped and peed all over the entire engine. Then they went after the vegetables in my garden. I bought my frist zapper at The Wild Bird Center in Encinitas. The first week I was skeptical, but then, whammo!
Since then I’ve probably caught over 200 rats, and 60 in the last month alone. I own 3 rat zappers, and last month was killing 7-10 PER NIGHT. In June, for three days in a row, I caught a rat every 1 1/2 hours from 6:30 pm until the next morning! I kept waking up because the dog was barking, and after a while I was fascinated by the sheer numbers being killed in the zapper. I throw the dead rats in a vacant lot and the crows and hawks feast on them with relish! We even have a hawk that lives in our tree waiting for his daily rat.
What is impressive is the short amount of time it takes to kill a rat. I watched it happen! Less than a second and the animal never knows what hit them. I’ve seen those glue traps and I don’t kow how someone who says they love animals could subject another creature to that kind of horrible death. And don’t even get me started on poison, which can kill other animals if they eat them.
To those who just can’t get the zapper to work, you must be patient. Rats are very, very smart, and sometimes it takes 2 weeks for them to venture inside the zapper. Sometimes I let them have two free meals, then flip the switch. Sometimes, you will kill one, and then the others avoid the trap. Wouldn’t you? So, I turn it off, let ‘em have another free meal, and flip the switch again. Dog food really does work the best, and even if there are ants on the food, that doesn’t stop the rats.
I also keep mine outside and even though we have a fair amount of moisture, (being by the beach), it hasn’t affected the performance of the zapper at all. I look for chewed plants, rat poop and try and put the zapper on a fence because they like the travel high up off the ground.
Rats are not just disease ridden monsters, they are highly intelligent creatures who are successful and adaptable animals. Think like a rat, and you’ll have eventaully luck with the Rat Zapper.
