How long will the batteries last?
A brand new set of 4 “C” batteries will last approximately 3 years on standby if no
rodents are caught. Otherwise, the trap can kill up to 50 rats on one set of fully
charged batteries. This is subject to change based on the quality of batteries used
and how long a caught rodent remains in the trap. The indicator light on the top of
the trap will blink until the trap is reset, which contributes to battery drain. If a
rodent is caught but remains in the trap unchecked, the batteries may only last 2-4
weeks due to the indicator light blinking constantly.
How to Use: Electronic Rat Trap (M241)
How to Use
Have you recently purchased a Victor® Electronic Rat Trap? In our helpful How-
to section, we’ll walk you through basic trap setup, baiting, and disposal so you
can have your new trap up and running in no time.
BAITING
Be sure that the trap is powered OFF and batteries are removed before baiting the
trap. Rodents prefer foods that are high in protein and fat. Try using peanut butter,
hazelnut spread, chocolate and meats such as bacon or beef jerky. Be careful not to
use too much. Rodents have a very strong sense of smell, so only a small amount
of bait is needed to attract them to the trap. Open the bait door, which can be found
on the back side of the trap. Use a cotton swab, toothpick, tweezers or similar tool
to place bait so that your scent is not transferred to the trap.
DISPOSAL - HOW DO I DISPOSE OF A CAUGHT MOUSE?
Turn the unit OFF. Remove the batteries. Properly discard rodent. Clean and bait
the trap after each use for most effective results. Insert batteries and push the
power button forward to turn the unit back on. A green light will appear once and
the unit will buzz to let you know the trap is armed and ready for use. A
continuous indicator light is not used so that battery life can be preserved.
