Chipmunks destroyed our car by nesting in it and chewing up all the wiring. We had to junk it and buy another one. Then they destroyed the brick steps in front of our house by tunneling under them. The front steps collapsed, backwards, towards the house which caused rainwater and melting snow to rot the sill under our front door. Our basement foundation was also cracking! Something had to be done!
So, last summer we called a professional pest control company and paid them $375 for leaving the poor little trapped chipmunks in their “have a heart” traps for over two days with no food or water! That wasn’t a humane solution to the problem! I fired them and bought a Rat Zapper.
Got another chipmunk today. It didn’t suffer at all because it died instantly. MUCH kinder than using the “have a heart” traps that leave them frantic and at the mercy of a lazy pest control person who can’t be bothered to check his traps for two days.
I love animals, but I’m a working person who can’t afford to pay to repair the damage these critters are causing us. I don’t want them to suffer, but the damage needs to end. This product stops the damage without causing suffering. Two thumbs up!

We recently moved to a new house and within a couple weeks I saw 3 rats running from yard to yard and into our garage! Our dogs were going crazy and digging near their nests. I was frantically searching for an option besides poison to kill these disgusting disease carrying rodents. I don’t like the idea of poison for many reasons, including the dangers of children, pets, and other innocent wildlife ingesting it. When I came across the Rat Zapper Ultra I was so excited, and because of so many excellent reviews I ordered 2!
We set the traps last night and within 2 hours we got our first rat! I have a feeling there will be many more to come. Thank you Rat Zapper!

We had periodically had a rat or rodent problem in the garage. Occasionally when we put the garbage out in the garage, something would get into it. Both garbage cans had holes gnawed into them, from which our little rodent friends were dragging out bits of garbage out and littering our garage with it. It got to the point where we couldn’t leave garbage in the garage for more than a day. Finally bought the Ratzapper. How good did it work? After just 2 days, zapped a rat. Then 4 mice within 48 hours, one of the mice was zapped just 2 hours after I emptied the trap. This device works great. We can now use our garbage cans again.

I have recommended this product to so many people… I live very close to a restaurant, which of course has rats in their dumpster. Not too long ago, when I was away for a period of time during a cold spell, they invaded my house. And I don’t mean a minor invasion. $6700 worth of work to my HVAC system alone. That’s when I got the Zapper.
I did actually wear one unit out – after 43 kills (that’s how bad the invasion was). I was emptying the trap several times a day, and resolved the problem completely (except for the repairs) in a very short time. Without the use of poison – which I consider inhumane (it takes days for a rodent to painfully die from the poison, and you run the risk of poisoning pets). This trap provides a humane kill (I’ve actually witnessed it once – it was over in a second or two).
Today, after not having issues for some time, I saw one outside my house crawling around an arbor in my back yard. I put the trap out, and within two hours the offender is now history.
You guys have definitely built a better mouse (or rat, in my case) trap!

This past winter, my NYC building had a mouse infestation that would taper off for a few weeks before starting up again. Glue traps were successful only some of the time, as the mice would skirt around them or change their route.
After getting completely sick and tired of having to deal with live, caught mice or listening to them poke around my furniture, I finally decided to invest in a Rat Zapper Classic. I loaded it with chocolate-covered raisins, placed it next to the kitchen radiator, and waited for results. No mice were seen after that, and I was hopeful that they had all been killed, already. Then the Rat Zapper started blinking about two months later. I had no idea that mice were still poking around, and I’m extremely thankful that the dead vermin has been robbed of its chance to reproduce and drive me even crazier.
The Rat Zapper has fresh bait and is ready to go, and I will be leaving it on permanently in case any more uninvited guests return.
