I heard something scratching under the cabinet in my kitchen but saw no evidence of anything getting in so I had no idea if it was a mouse, rat, chipmunk, squirrel, mole, etc. so I bought the bigger one just in case. I wanted to put it inside bc all I have is a crawl space underneath my house and it's too much of a pain to get under there and I want to be sure I'm catching whatever is making all this noise and not just every animal that runs by under there bc we have a ton of chipmunks running thru my yard, deck etc. Because I couldn't see any evidence or where it/they were getting in, I couldn't put it "near evidence" and I couldn't put it along a wall bc my walls in that area are not accessible with the stove, fridge, cabinets etc. in the way so I put it along the bottom of the cabinet with it's opening facing the opening between the cabinet and the stove blocking its entrance to the open floor should it come from between there. It was super easy to follow directions and set up ... I handled it with gloves only to not get human scent on it, put a dab of peanut butter in the bait section, inserted new batteries, put the magnetic top of and flipped the power switch to ON. The green light flashed to show it was on and the light goes back off until something is caught. I waited several days... Maybe 4-5 days passed and I was so excited when I heard something scratch metal like it had been near my stove! I got up super early like 5am and the green light was flashing!!!! Score!!! I won't attach pics bc I couldn't look at it. I specifically bought this kind so that I could just dump it without having to look at it. I dumped it in a garbage bag, sealed it right and tossed it. It was TINY so now I'm worried it's a baby mouse and there's a mama.... Great. It was easy to clean - no mess except tiny drops of what looked like saliva - clear liquid. I cleaned it with damp paper towel and gloves, reset it and put it in same place.
Sure enough I kept hearing the same noise. Almost a week later again, about 5 days, I heard lots of noise around the stove area and get up at 5am and the green light is flashing again!!!!! I'm so glad I found this easy solution. Id rather give this a try instead of calling an exterminator out. This definitely works and it's super convenient. Highly recommend!

About this item
The Humane Solution - Owltra is the humane solution for getting rid of large populations of rodents, as one set of 4AA batteries is enough to exterminate 60 rats. Featuring improved dual infrared sensors to protect kids and pets, Owltra ensures no false zaps. The no-escape design keeps the rodent in place while generating 6,000-9,000 of high-voltage shock for quick elimination.
Quick-Zap System - Our unique zap system guarantees 100% elimination without causing the rodent to suffer. It’s also a safer alternative to using poison and chemicals and can be placed anywhere inside your home or business.
Pet-safe Dual Infrared Sensor - The chamber is designed with two infrared sensors, one at the entrance and one at the back. Owltra only activates when it detects a rodent inside the trap—preventing false zaps while protecting children and small pets.
No-Mess Disposal - With magnetic latches, you’ll never have to touch or see the rodent. Simply pull off the trap's lid and empty the rodent in the trash. Owltra deactivates automatically when the the top is removed, allowing for safe and secure cleaning.
Convenient Bait Area - Lure rodents in by placing a pea-sized amount of bait at the back of the trap. Simply lift open the bait door and use a toothpick or cotton swab to apply bait on the trap's floor, opposite of the entrance. Baits high in protein, such as peanut butter, are recommended.
