I have been using two Rat Zappers for a few months now, with mixed results. They seem to work most reliably when the batteries are absolutely fresh. In particular, ordinary alkaline batteries seem to be good for one or two kills only. The recommended (and considerably more expensive) lithium batteries last a little longer, but the claim of "3 months or 15 rodent kills" seems to be marketing hype. Even with the optional "Rat Pack," the lethality diminishes rapidly after a few kills. Without absolutely new batteries, I often find the kill light will be flashing but nothing will be in the trap, suggesting that a rat received a non-lethal shock. That is a rodent that has now been trained to never set foot in such a trap again.
What this product desperately needs is an AC adapter, so it can deliver consistently lethal shocks where an outlet is available. Alternatively, some better mechanism for determining when it's time to replace the batteries would be helpful, besides trying to judge spark length or the relative brightness of the LED indicator.
I have found traditional snap traps to be more consistently effective for rat control, though I still use the Rat Zappers in areas where snap traps would be a danger to pets or children. Just be prepared to spend a fortune on batteries.

I set it up the evening I bought it. I found that a mouse was caught the next morning. Reset it before I went to work. Got another one after I was back! After Zapper killed 11 of them, I declared my house is rodent-free! How can I tell? I scattered some dog food around, all of them were still there days later. I didn't bother to figure which one was mouse and which one was rat. But, some of them were quite big.
I have a tip to offer. After several kills, the Zapper may get the smell of the dead rodents. The remaining ones won't come in any more. You have to clean it up using vinegar and dish detergent as documented on their web site. Those stupid rodents will come back in again.

My dog had been chasing a roof rat around in the yard for 2 weeks, she couldn't catch him cause roof rats like to hang out up in the trees. The instructions on the zapper say to put food in it and not turn it on for a few days. Let the rat get comfortable around the new object. I have no patience and I put it out in the shed and turned it on. The second night I had my dead rat. Bought 2 zappers for the warehouse at work and in a couple weeks we killed the entire family. 2 adults, 3 teenagers and 2 babies. No one is eating the food now so we think we have them all. Expect more will move in when it gets cold though.
The zapper is not only the most humane way to kill rats and mice it is the most effective and there is no blood and guts. Well worth the money.

Fast. Effective. Hands off. Longer battery life.
Not much to say. We've been plagued by a mouse for about a week now and he's been chewing on our sofa cushions. Rat Zapper showed up yesterday. Put in four batteries. Read more

Ten stars
Someone has finally built a better mousetrap. The instructions say to use some cat or dog food in the trap. This worked fine, as it killed 5 mice in 3 days. Read more

It just works. Don't waste your time with traditional mousetraps. This is the clean and humane way to rid your house of mice.

Works well.
I added 4 D cells that have been kicking around in the drawer for a year or so. I had to replace them after 3 dead rats and 2 mice. I will see how new batteries fare. Read more

Works but mice learn
This definitely kills the mice but I have to rotate its use with other forms of traps because they quickly learn to avoid this. Read more

Great but don't use outdoors
I have bought three so far. They work great like other reviewers I think this is a great way to deal with the problem. The last two traps I bought lasted about two weeks. Read more
