OWLTRA OW-2 Electric Mouse Strap Kills mice instantly. Includes pet safe trigger Black

It is straightforward to use and is effective.

Es ist die beste Falle, die ich je hatte. Da die Auslösung über eine Lichtschranke erfolgt, kommt es bei dieser Falle weder auf das Geschick des Fallenstellers bei der Beköderung noch auf das der Maus beim Rauben des Köders an. Die Maus ist tot, bevor sie den Köder (z.B. Nutella) tatsächlich erreicht hat. Die Falle zeigt durch ein Lichtsignal an, wenn ein Fang erfolgte. Erscheint das Lichtsignal nicht (weil nichts gefangen wurde), kann man sich durch Aus- und Wiedereinschalten von der (weiterhin) bestehenden Betriebsbereitschaft überzeugen. Da die Maus nicht verletzt wird, wird auch die Falle innen nicht verschmutzt. Das tote Tier kann ohne Berührung entfernt und die Falle sofort wieder eingesetzt werden. Nachdem ich an drei Tagen drei Mäuse gefangen hatte, habe ich alle mechanischen Fallen, die in der selben Zeit erfolglos geblieben waren, weggeworfen. Leider habe ich dann doch nicht so viele Mäuse - sonst hätte ich ganz sicher noch weitere dieser genialen Fallen gekauft.

I've been inundated with mice the past month or two. I'm not sure why they're suddenly moving into my apartment. I've lived here since 2013 and have never had rodent problems. But whatever. My problem is getting rid of them, not studying their motivations. I was using those tunnel traps from KatSense. They've got the snap jaw mechanism in the middle of the tunnel. And they worked great with the first 4-5 mice. But then the trigger plate stop being so responsive, and next thing I knew I was subsidizing the mice's calorie intake instead of killing them. I'd set the trap, and when I checked it 24 hours later, it was still set but all the peanut butter was gone! It was infuriating. So, went back to Amazon to look into different, hopefully more reliable traps. That's when I came across this OWLTRA Electric Mouse Trap. Instead of relying on a trigger plate and mechanical action to catch the mouse, it's got a metal floor that's hooked to a bank of 4 AA batteries! You put a little stale peanut butter in the bait cup on the far side of the trap (stale peanut butter is a significantly better bait than fresh peanut butter), and set the trap by sliding the power button to the On position. It'll give you a single green light flash letting you know it's properly set, then you just set it along a wall that your mouse likes to travel along. When he approaches the trap, he'll smell the peanut butter and walk inside. As soon as he walks into the trap beyond the doorway, an infrared switch will detect his presence and arm the trap. Then, as he continues to make his way to the bait cup, he walks across the metal floor and those nice AA batteries dump 8000 volts of electricity into the mouse for 90sec, killing him quickly and humanely. Once the mouse is dead, your trap will flash a green indicator light every 10sec so you know you got one. You just remove the lid with the battery pack, and dump the dead mouse outside somewhere. Inspect the trap to make sure it still has peanut butter in it, and the floor is clean and free of debris. Press the lid back into place, power on the trap, and place it in a spot where mice continue to harass you. It's so easy! This trap is superior to tunnel traps, and other mechanical jaw-type traps because mechanical mechanisms come with the possibility of failure, allowing the mice to eat the bait without triggering the trap. There's no mechanics (no moving parts) involved with this fantastic electric trap making it more reliable. It also doesn't come with the potential to leave the mouse alive in agony with a broken back or leg. The electricity passes from the metal floor into the mouse, stopping his heart immediately. And since there's no mechanical jaw crushing down, there's no messy cleanup. Just an intact, dead mouse that was here one minute and gone the next. The say one set of 4 AA batteries can dispatch 60-80 mice, so it's an energy-efficient solution, as well. I picked up a 24-pack of Powermax AA batteries at the same time I ordered the trap for only $6.79, and I believe that will keep my trap fully armed and ready to take out mice for at least a few years. If you're like me, and losing your mind trying to figure out the best, most efficient and effective trap to address your indoor mouse problem, forget about it. You found it. If you're a Prime member, you can have this bad boy delivered to your home as soon as tomorrow. Setup takes 2min, and then you just sit back and relax. Check the trap once a day for the green light, and that's it!

Excellent trap, very neat. No mess left behind and very effective. Culprit caught within two days. Easy to clean afterwards highly recommended For small mice.

Looks good and feels like high quality, i like that I'll be able to use it next winter when the mice start trying to get in. From researching it seems that electric mouse traps are the most ethical and least painful way to deal with mice, also no mess to clean afterwards like with snap traps. bought it near the end of the invasion so I haven't caught any mice with it yet. I also appreciate that it's safe to keep around pets and won't shock them even if they sick a paw or nose in, would encourage people to still monitor their pets around it and not allow them to chew or play with it of course. Overall I like it i think it's a good investment.
