Victor Smart-Kill Electronic Mouse Trap

We experienced a huge drop in temperature this week which seems to have driven mice into the house. I've recently heard some rustling in the walls so I was very eager to try out this Victor electronic mouse trap that offers not only a mess free way of getting rid of pests, but sends alerts to your phone or device to let you know when it does! The trap is heavy plastic and feels well made. Underneath it there's a place to hold four AA batteries. The top of the trap snaps open and at the far end there's a tiny bait cup. Trying to get peanut butter in it while not allowing it to touch the metal plate next to it is a challenge. I struggled using a plastic knife. The end of a chopstick would have worked better. I powered it on and loaded the app on my Android tablet from the GooglePlay store. Installation went well, but I did have some problems with getting the trap to find my wi-fi. It failed a few times even though the signal strength was high. I kept trying and was able to get the code off the trap scanned in and the app and trap to link up. I like that you get to name the trap so you can be super specific like “basement under stairs trap”. If you buy more of these traps, this is important. I placed it in the kitchen and hoped for the best. It's hard to know if the trap is actually on as there's no light that stays on to tell you. Even just the button showing an orange or red color beneath it when pressed would be better than nothing. All in all though, I'm so happy this product exists. How convenient! And it sure makes getting notifications more exciting. Update: I moved the trap out to the back porch and have caught two mice in three days. This thing works awesome!

This trap will notify you when a mouse get caught, just download and setup the Victor app, add to the Wi-Fi connected trap up a high-protein bait (as peanut butter) and wait to be notified. We haven't mouse issues but we added this in our garage, you never know! We will see whether we catch a mouse, the trap is supposed to electrocute the mouse and the disposal is a no-thouch no-see one. You can name the trap if you have multiple ones so the notification will mention the one which caught a mouse. The notification is useful to make the disposal fast for you...and for the mouse.

The only area in my house I have an issue with mice is my bathroom and this is an indoor mouse trap, it is smart looking, unobtrusive and it gives me piece of mind that I won't have no unexpected surprises that I will step on. I use peppermint in the area but it is only a deterrent, now I don't have to be concerned about applying it regularly and I don't have to have that smell always there for that to work. The peppermint is the first measure and only a deterrent, this will the be the constant line of defense that will dispose of them humanely and I feel confident this will be more than a deterrent but a barrier against them spreading. It is good to know that there will be minimal contact once trapped inside, just empty, clean and put in fresh bait, there is no guesswork if there is a mouse in in the trap or not, the information will be on the app and you will get a kill alert. That alone makes it hassle free and the rodent is hidden from view. No questioning, checking the trap and wondering if it has been used, you don't have to see the mouse to know if it is there. The bait cup is really small so you are not using too much bait just the amount needed. You can name the trap so you know the location it is in if there is more than one trap in use, you can know which one has been activated. It claims to be quick and humane so that is an extra layer of comfort that it is not a prolonged kill and that matters to me as well. Reusable, easy disposal, and no-see, kills in seconds is a very efficient and sanitary way to defend against this nuisance, it is not a nuisance anymore.

We had a mouse problem when we moved into our house. We bought some Victor mechanical traps, the traditional kid that snap closed onto the mouse and kill it as it steps on the yellow platform while getting the bait. In 2 nights we caught a whole family of mice. However, the issue was that I had to remove the dead mice (gross) which required donning gloves, releasing the spring trap, and removing the dead mouse to dispose of it. Also I had no way of knowing if a mouse went into the trap overnight so I had to check it each morning and some of the traps were in hard to reach areas like behind the oven! Enter this product, the Victor Smart Kill Electronic WiFi enabled Mouse Trap. This mouse trap is a chamber that has a hole for mice to enter. Then there is a door they go through to get the bait, and the floor of the trap has an electric charge that shocks and kills them (powered by 4 AA batteries). Victor claims this method is supposedly more "humane" than other kill methods. The trap is connected to WiFi so when the trap is triggered, you receive a notification on your Android phone or iPhone (you must download the free Victor app). In any case, this solves both the issues I had with the mechanical traps. I no longer have to check the trap to see if a mouse was caught since I'll know when I am notified on my phone. Also removal and disposal is not yucky since the top of the trap pops up and you can simply flip the trap upside-down and drop the dead mouse out. You can also remove the trap chamber part of the trap from the part with the electricity so you can clean/wash it in water. I did have some issues connecting the trap to WiFi but only minor ones. Overall this is a smart and novel product and I am impressed that Victor is constantly evolving with as new technology is developed. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants to catch mice cleanly, humanely, and with minimal effort.

I mustbe honest that i have never seen such smart technology ever. It was very simple to set up. All you do is down load the app and set it to your phone like any other wifi device. Unfortunately i have not been able to catch anything as my home is not infested but i have a few field mice each year. i love the technology and hope this works just as well once it catches one.

This is really a cool idea. I really liked that it would notify you if you had a mouse in the trap. The wireless setup is a bit involved and can be confusing and frustrating but I got it all working. I am pretty rodent adverse so I take steps well in advance of winter to insure no little buddies are moving in. So I knew there were no mice in my house so I put the trap in my garden shed. The trap was there 72hrs with no results but it did report the battery life so I knew it was working. From there I moved it to my barn thinking surely it will find one there. Nope, I did too good of a prep job I guess no mice to catch. So I can't report on that aspect of it. But the wireless part really works well as best as I could determine.

This mouse trap is very nice and has features. It seems to be well made. It has door to open making disposal easy. The features are a bit excessive though. It takes several batteries. I wish it had the option to plug it in. There is an app you have to install on your phone and it has to connect to your wifi to notify you if it caught a mouse. It will work without wifi, but it's hard to tell if there's anything in it just by looking at it. You have to have a newer phone to be able to install the app, which is a drawback. It will not work on my husband's Galaxy s4. A good mouse trap if you're techy. A terrible mouse trap if you hate technology.

I received my Victor Smart Kill mouse trap from the Spark Reviewer Program. Every Winter we encounter at least 1 mouse, always in the garage. In the past we have used sticky pads, and poison granules. I don't like actually finding/seeing the dead mouse, stiff and frozen somewhere in my garage. I thought this would be a better way to trap a mouse. You are supposed to receive a notification when a mouse is trapped. PLease note this trap WILL STILL WORK if you choose not to download the app. My son dowloaded the "Victor Pest App" on my phone. It was quick and easy. You will need 4 double A batteries for the trap. After you are connected to the trap you should place the trap relatively close to your wifi. Mine apparentley was not close enough because I received a notification on my phone saying "the connection had been lost for at least 24 hours". You are also supposed to make sure your 4 double A batteries are brand new, have full strength, etc. The app wil send you a notification when your batteries are running low on juice! We put a dab of peanut butter in the trap. As of now we have not seen nor caught a mouse. I have relocated the trap so we don't lose connection again and had to replace the batteries. There's more "maintenance" with this kind of trap, but I do prefer this way over sticky pads and mouse poison.

My family was excited to get the Victor Smart-Kill Electronic Mouse Trap. We downloaded the app and tried to follow the instructions, but could not make any connections. Of course, we were setting out up in the evening when the "help desk" was not available. After a few days, my son was finally able to get help from technical support and connect his phone to the trap. It has been over 4 days, and we haven't caught a single mouse. I like the design and it is compact enough to fit in small spaces. I would recommend making it easier to connect the trap to clients' phones.

i received my victor smart kill electronic mouse trap. you need to download the app on your phone which will alert you when you have zapped your mouse. you also need to have it set up close to your wifi signal.this wouldn't work out for me because my wifi is to far away from the area i would use it in. i don't think i would recommend this product to anyone as i wouldn't care to use it myself.
