Get rid of large-size rats quickly and effectively with the Victor Rat Zapper Ultra Rat Trap. From set-up and use through cleaning and maintenance each zap will be a snap thanks to the easy-to-use design. This electronic trap is equipped with smart circuit technology that senses when a rodent enters it. Once inside the rat steps on the metal plates completing the circuit and the trap delivers a humane high-voltage shock. Since rats are able to restart their hearts the shock is applied continuously for 2 minutes to ensure higher kill rates. Unlike standard rat traps you don’t have to touch or look at dead rodents. The rat is contained within the Ultra-sized kill chamber which hides it from sight while the indicator light lets you know when it’s time to empty. After a kill just tip the trap to discard the dead rodent into the trash without having to touch it. Designed for indoor use or anywhere it won’t be exposed to outdoor elements the Victor Rat Zapper Ultra Rat Trap is perfect for placement in attics garages basements and sheds. The trap does not use any poisons or chemicals but as with any electronic device it use with caution around children and pets.
