Rat Zapper Reviews

I purchased the Rat Zapper Ultra in fall/winter ’07. I knew I had mice when I saw a bunch of the droppings and could hear them at night in the kitchen. Of course, I have read, it’s usually not just one mouse that is invading your property. I used snap traps, only worked about 1/8th of the time and glue boards – those should be outlawed. The mice would just “suffer” on those, it took way too long for them to die and the bucket method did not even work for a second. After investigating on the internet “how to get rid of mice” I found this device. I bought it and the first night, killed a mouse. That was after catching many others with the very inhumane traps. I was amazed and loved the fact that I did not even have to look at it. I put it up for about 6 months and heard some scratching around again, I thought “AH-HA! No you do not go reproducing in my kitchen!” and baited a lid from a pill bottle with some peanut butter and placed a piece of popcorn in it. That same night, my husband and I were sitting in the living room and heard the Rat Zapper go off. I have to admit, that was a little disturbing because the sound of “frying” lasted about an entire minute then there was a slight smell of burnt critter, but I got up and sure enough, a dead mouse! I put it out again and the next night, another dead mouse! I left if out a few more nights and have not had any more! Now I can catch them before they even think of reproducing. I find the best way to bait it is with a small lid from a coke bottle or pill bottle and peanut butter, slide it to the very back and NO MESS! Highly recommended and honestly, this is the best money I have ever spent! Thank you!

Baloney!!! I believe that the only one who got zapped is me. I bought 2 of the RatZapper Ultra’s, followed the directions and ……nothing. The evidence of the rodent infestation, although somewhat diminished, is still there. Maybe the presence of the units scared off some of the rats! Those big, shiny things just didn’t look right.

Anyway, I am sorry that I fell for your ads. I suppose it was worth the $100 to prove, once again, that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I’ll bet that you won’t post this “testimonial” and I hope that you know where you can put it. Meanwhile, if some sucker wants a slightly unused shiny RatZapper, send them to me.

Hi Tom,

I just wanted you to know your testimonial is on our site.

Now, I would hope you will give either Cathi (our technician) or myself the opportunity to speak with you. I am sure we can figure out what went wrong as we do have a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. We here at AgriZap are human and our products are made by humans so sometimes they just don’t work. That said, we have a return rate of <1% so I am pretty comfortable in betting we can get you, and your rodent problem, under control.

If you want to send an email to Cathi to start the process, please click on the link http://www.ratzapper.com/support-request.cfm which will take you to the help form from our website. She may take a few days to get back to you and I will not be back in the office until Monday so please give us some time to reply. You can call me at 888-332-3728 next week if you like.

Have a great Independence Day weekend.

Hi Jeff (and Cathi),

Well, it looks like I owe you an apology. Just when I thought that these things were big fakes (see previous e-mail), darned if one of them didn’t catch a big, fat rat over the weekend. It really does work. We have no idea what was different this weekend versus any other. I guess the rat just finally stumbled on to it. We were using peanut butter in a bottle cap. The rat tail was at least 10 inches long. That’s what we saw after we smelled it. It must have been Zapped at the end of the last shift on Thursday and had all weekend to cook.

We will re-charge the units and try to catch more rodents. I’ll be glad to send another comment for your testimonial site.

Again, please accept my apology for ever doubting your product.

Sincerely,

Tommy G. Perkins

I ordered the Rat Zapper online after reading some of the testimonials. I had been dealing with the pesky critters for a while and had bought quite an accumulation of ineffective traps. I followed the instructions and put it out with bait for several days but finally couldn’t wait to turn it on. A friend was visiting and a few minutes after I put it out, asked why the light was blinking. I was sure that the product was defective and very surprised to find a dead mouse inside. Since then, I’ve gotten two more and will leave it out until I’m sure they are all gone. I did catch another one using one of the sticky pads but that’s a terrible way to catch them. Thanks so much for making a product that really works!

This is THE most incredible product! We have pets in our home and were terrified to put out poison–a dog we owned a long time ago had to be taken to the vet once for catching a poisoned rat. Traps weren’t working well and our rat problem was getting out of hand. Then we found the Rat Zapper! We got the Ultra model, and let me tell you–it has been money VERY well spent. NINE rats in one day–another would walk right in it literally minutes after we baited again. And these are not small rats, either. Yuck. We’re almost free of them–it won’t be long! Thank you so much for a wonderful product! I will recommend this to everyone–especially pet owners.

Hi,

I love my house dearly. And for you husbands out there like myself,we normally have one room in the entire house to call our own (if we’re lucky). Well for me, this room is in the basement. I’ve turned it into a club house, it has a dry bar, big screen TV, you name it. Anyway, I was jamming out on my electric guitar down there when all of a sudden I hear some scampering about in my drop ceiling!!!!! I can’t tell you how annoyed, frustrated and just down right angry I was to find out that these critters invaded my sanctuary!!!! Turns out it was mice.

I started out with bait and a few other over the counter remedies. I even employed Orkin, who surprisingly used similar tactics. Well, don’t know about you, but I’m a pretty impatient person and I need results yesterday.

So I went ahead and bought the Rat Zapper and placed it in my drop ceiling as well. I also bought the rat tail which I have hanging out of the drop ceiling so I would know when it caught one. A whole week went by, didn’t catch one! Then all of a sudden, checked it in the morning and ZAP, it got one!!! Dumped the critter in the trash and reset for my next kill. A couple days later ZAP!!! Got another!! A week later ZAP!! Got another!!! Easy as pie to dump the chump and reload for the next kill.

They may have won the initial battle as far as getting into my house, but I’m winning the war now, thanks to Rat Zapper. Glad to finally get my club house back, thanks Rat Zapper!!!!!
