Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The Procter Pest-Stop Electronic Rat Killer uses 'smart' electronics and kills the rat virtually instantly when its feet touch two plates and an electrical circuit is completed. This makes the kill quick, clean and humane. The Electronic Rat Killer is used by many professional pest control operatives.
The open end of the device is essential to ensure the rat has easy access, as rats are naturally cautious creatures. The device is safe to use in domestic situations, provided it is kept away from children and pets.
A warning light signals that the trap has been activated and the dead rat can then easily be removed and the trap reset.
The device is also effective against mice, requires four C-size batteries and comes complete with full instructions.

Having read in the mouse trap reviews that this unit was far better, I decided to purchase one of them. It arrived promptly on a Thursday.
The batteries are a pain to install, as suggested elsewhere here, and the battery cover is a joke. I found that the best way to get the batteries in is to start with the spring end (-ve) ones first. They have to be pushed firmly to get them through the clips. Then put the base ends of the other batteries in so they rest against the top (+ve) end of the first ones and lever them in so they compress the spings and you can then get the top (+ve) cap down into the compartment!
I baited mine with a lump of bread roll as my mice had been ignoring peanut butter and cheese etc on my conventional traps for weeks! Placed against a wall where I knew they ran and a few crumbs trailed into the entrance to lead them in. Switch on and the green LED flashes briefly to show it's working. This was Thurs evening.
Fri morning, came down, periodic slow green flashing LED (about 10 secs between) 1 dead mouse, zapped against the end wall of it. Was in a rush, so emptied it out and dumped the unbaited unit back on the floor and switched it back on. Fri pm, another dead mouse, with no bait! Re-baited with bread roll, out on the beer! Sat lunchtime - 3 dead mice!! Re-baited, watched 1st Rugby international - another dead mouse! Re-baited again, watched 2nd Rugby international - yet another one! 7 in 2 days!! No more since then but no more signs of them either. The unit has been left switched on since then (now 2 1/2 weeks) and it appears to still be working fine on the same set of batteries. Very impressed!

I must confess to being being sceptical about this product at first, which I bought on another site to deal with a mouse problem at a family member's home. However, none of the people in my family like handling mice - a bit phobic in fact - so I was attracted by the generally positive reviews, and the suggestion that you don't have to see or handle the dead rodent's body when disposing. Anyway, I baited the zapper with peanut butter and set it down Saturday evening, went away, and returned to my family member's home Sunday morning - the result? One dead critter, easily disposed of! I reset the device and again returned the next day to find another dead mouse that had received the 'San Quentin' Treatment....We've put down poison as well to deal with the overall rodent problem but have ordered another zapper as so far so good. Most traps are unreliable - the mice ignored them - but this one is proving effective. Highly recommended.

Bought the unit from amazon, fitted the batteries (not to bad) knocked the unit on, led lights up, buzzing from the unit, then a click, light goes out and buzzing stops.
With reading other reviews about the units can be faulty, I touched the holed plate, nothing, then proceeded to touch the other plates inside the unit, nothing? A thought popped into my head that maybe 2 plates need to be touched at the same time to make a circuit, again nothing, so after moaning to my wife that it was rubbish, I demonstrated how rubbish it was by stuffing my whole hand in to the unit to prove my point....ZAP, got the full shock treatment!!!!
Anybody not sure if this unit has the stopping power for the largest vermin, worry not, I still have a headache and sore hand!!!

Used mainly for mice but peroduct does really work. Batteries a bit fiddly. Good customer service. Would deal with again.

Well, I was a little sceptical but I finally caught a mouse with this. We do not have an infestation which is probably why I hadn't caught one for 4 months. Read more

Not for outdoor use
Beware - I have wasted my money on this because I only have rats in the garden and it cannot cope with any damp. It says so on the box but not in the adverts.
