Mice didn't go in - small opening seemed to make mice wary 
2008-10-08
Never caught a sincle mouse with this model from Victor -- I believe the small opening seemed suspicious to them and they stayed away. (Mechanical traps with small openings also don't work -- no mice in them either.)
I replaced it with one of Victor's electronic rat traps that has a much bigger opening (to a mouse, it seems like a cavern), and started catching mice immediately -- until it broke after 6-10 mice. The replacement also stopped working after about the same number of mice. (See my review on those.)
Patience is a virtue 
2008-10-02
Well, it's been 3 years in New York City with no rodent issues so I guess I was due for one. We called the exterminator who gave us the poison boxes and glue traps...but after weeks nothing. So out of desperation I bought the electronic trap at Rite Aid and set it along the path we saw the critter run....nothing. Then, all of a sudden it started chowing down on the poison under the sink....still nothing in the electric trap. After 4 nights of cleaning up poop and poison under the sink I decided to relocate the electronic trap to under the sink. Today I came home from work and had a blinking light and a tail coming out the hole...viola. Patience and trial and error with where to put this think seem to be key! He also didn't die gross...which is easier on my conscience.
The stupid thing shocked me!!!!

be very careful about touching anything metal on this trap... even the contacts in the battery compartment... while trying to put the batterys in i got a little jolt and a nice little burn and blister on my thumb. ironically that rendered my batterys completely useless... just as a precaution, make sure the little circle of the switch is down(off) and have the trap open in addition to making sure you are inserting the batterys correctly... especially when you insert batterys for the very first time. that way there is no way you can get zapped by this trap. anyway just set it out so wish me luck.....
Faulty, poorly designed...needs improvement!

I had some problems with this trap - the batteries included didn't work.
A second brand new set were zapped before it could work (the batteries do NOT last for fifty caught mice as the product indicates).
"Unique tunnel prevents mouse escape " - this just isn't true. A mouse was able to get into the trap, lick the peanut butter completely clean, and then excape without being zapped (with a new set of batteries).
Finally, with a third set of brand new batteries, we were able to catch a mouse last night. We put little bits of american cheese in the back without touching the shock plate(because the mice can lick the peanut butter through the venting holes on the outside without coming in)and finally caught a mouse.
Basically, the product is faulty and the design isn't great - for $20, it should work. However, on the third try we did catch a mouse, so I bumped up the one star to 2.
Mouse in the hole! 2008-09-29
I am a true animal lover, but I can't handle the fact that there were mice living in my home and using my house as a toilet. I found out there were mice when I found one that accidentally died by drowning in my dogs water bowl.
I purchased this trap thinking that it would be the most humane way to eliminate the creatures and not risk them returning. The trap kills the mouse nearly immediately without the risk of just nearly hurting the creature or letting them suffer (Snap traps and glue traps).
I put this trap down with peanut butter and caught a mouse within 24 hours. I had terminix come out and do a free inspection and they told me the problem was very minimal and didn't believe there was really other mice in the house at this time.
Well one mouse down and I really hope I don't get another, but if I do have more in the house I am pretty sure they will all be eliminated soon.

Victor Electronic Mouse Trap 2008-08-28
This is by far the best mouse trap i have ever had. This thing is amazing. I live in an apartment building and my neighbours were renovating when the mice problem started. I tried using everything known contraption to kill the mice i had in my kitchen but it didnt work. I tried glues, rat poison you name it. When i bought this trap and set it the next day It caught a mouse. The second day it caught a mouse. and about a week ago it caught a third mouse. I would recomend this product to everybody.
Awesome product 2008-08-26
this product is great it started killing those pest as soon as i used the peanut butter bait on the trap, just make sure you put the batteries correctly and put the trap in a dark place where you see them, and make sure you check the trap daily.
Great solution 2008-08-20
After finding the mousy evidence under the kitchen sink, we purchased this device. I was skeptical, but two days later the culprit was captured and killed. This is a much improved, less disgusting solution to traditional traps. Sorry, mouse, but you don't belong in the house!
Sensational 2008-08-15
Three weeks of glue traps had me nearly suicidal - the mouse wouldn't go near them. The snap traps were too small, this mouse was bigger than they were.
I bought this electronic trap at night, baited it before bed with pizza inside and a cheeto in the doorway (I live in NYC - that peanut butter business doesn't work with NYC mice...but I knew he liked Cheetos since he had eaten half a bag while I was at work, and pizza is one of their favorite foods), and by morning there was a tail hanging out.
I will say that the light was not blinking like it said it would be, but it killed it and there was a tail hanging out, so I'm not complaining.
Originally I didn't buy the electronic trap because of the price tag - but in the end, if I'd bought it FIRST, I'd have saved myself like $60 in other traps and food I had to throw out (not to mention pain and suffering). WELL WORTH IT - and reusable.
