- How does the Victor Electronic Mouse Trap kill mice?
- A mouse entering the chamber completes a circuit and receives a high-voltage shock. The kill happens inside the enclosed unit, so you do not see it.
- Do I need to bait it?
- Bait is optional. Many users run it unbaited along walls where mice travel, but a dab of peanut butter can speed entry.
- How many mice can it catch at once?
- One. After each kill you must remove the mouse and reset the trap for the next one.
- Can I use it outdoors?
- No. It is designed for indoor use and is not weatherproof.
- Is it safe around pets and children?
- The shock chamber is enclosed and only activates when a mouse bridges the contacts. Still, keep it away from curious pets and small children.
- How does it compare with the earlier M250S?
- It is the updated version of the M250S that Good Housekeeping tested. The concept is the same: a battery-powered, no-touch kill trap for indoor mice.
