Electronic Rat Zapper

$53.10

Derwent Traders – Pest Solutions Rat Zapper delivers a highly humane, near-instantaneous kill via a high-voltage electric shock, eliminating the prolonged suffering associated with poisons or glue boards.

To get the best results, place the Rat Zapper along a wall where you have seen activity, but leave it switched off for the first 48 hours. Put a small smear of peanut butter right inside the entrance. Once you notice the bait has been eaten cleanly, activate the power switch—the rats will comfortably walk right inside and trigger the system.

You can tip the dead rodent directly into the trash without seeing or touching it.

Derwent Traders – Pest Solutions Rat Zappers feature external LED lights that flash to let you know exactly when a rodent has been caught or when the batteries need replacing.

Setting the trap

  1. Plug the adapter into a power point or, if the trap is being set where there is not a power source available, open the battery compartment and properly insert 4 C-cell batteries (not included).
  2. Place some bait at the back of the Rat Zapper. Be sure the unit is turned off before installing the bait. We recommend crunchy peanut butter as the most effective bait, but you can also mix in some bird seed. Nuts, Chocolate, sunflower seeds, corn on the cob, Dynamic lifter, blood & bone, apple or cake also work or use what you know it likes. However, it is critical that moist bait is not placed on the floor due to the mess it can make. The answer is to place moist bait in a small plastic bottle cap (not a jar cap).
  3. Identify the location with rat or mice activity then place the trap in this area.
  4. Once the unit is turned on a green light will flash once. The trap is now set.
  5. The green light will flash to indicate a kill.
  6. The red light will blink when the batteries need replacing.
