The Ultra Rat Zapper effective, clean, easy to use, and humane!
   

 

The rat zapper is the result of years of engineering and customer feedback.  We've designed the rat zapper to be effective, clean, easy to use, and humane.  The main advantages of the Rat Zapper are as follows:

  • Effective (kills mice, rats, chipmunks and ground squirrels)
  • Clean (no blood or guts) and re-usable
  • More humane than snap traps, glue boards, and poison
  • Easy to use
  • Approximately 40 kills with one set of 4 alkaline "D" Cell batteries
  • Flashing kill indicator light (you never have to see the dead rodent!)
  • Not an ultrasound device

  2. The amount of time your Rat Zapper is turned on;
  3. The number of rodents killed.
  4. Cleaning the floor of the unit.
  5.  Approx. Dimensions: 4" x 4-3/4" x 11-1/2"

What do the green and red lights on the Rat Zapper ULTRA mean?

  
     
 

GREEN LIGHT:

Battery check- Every time you turn the power switch on the Rat Zapper ULTRA to the ON position, the light the green light should blink on then off to let you know the batteries are good. If the green light does not appear you should replace the batteries with fresh batteries.

(See chart above for Recommended Batteries.)

  
 

RED LIGHT:

Rodent Check- The red kill indicator light will repeatedly blink when the Rat Zapper ULTRA needs to be emptied. Just hold the Rat Zapper ULTRA over an appropriate receptacle, tilt it, and let the rodent slide out.

TO RESET: Rat Zapper ULTRA- Turn it OFF, then re-bait and place the unit on a flat surface where you suspect rodents exist. Then, return the Rat Zapper ULTRA power switch to the ON position.

  
 

 

  
 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

(Remove batteries)

  
  When dust, dirt or other contaminants accumulate in the Rat Zapper Ultra, you will need to clean the unit. When the Rat Zapper Ultra is dirty it may buzz or the red light will blink repeatedly when you turn it on.
  • Remove batteries before cleaning for safety.
  • Obtain inexpensive thin aluminum pan approximately large enough, in width and length, to accommodate the Rat Zapper Ultra.
  • Fill the pan with approximately 2 inches of warm/hot water, with ample amount of dish detergent. Set the Rat Zapper Ultra in the pan and let it soak for approximately 1 hour (to loosen debris.)
  • Using a soft bristle or bottle brush commonly found in the cookware section of your local supermarket, gently brush the bottom of your Rat Zapper Ultra.
  • To rinse, carefully allow a gentle stream of fresh water to flow over the cleaned bottom surface of the Rat Zapper. Do not spray the unit out or allow moisture to intrude into the electronics that are housed at the top of the unit, as this may cause the electronics to short out and impair the performance.
  • After cleaning and rinsing the bottom of the unit thoroughly, place it with the open side face down to allow the Rat Zapper Ultra to drain and dry completely (before putting it back into service).
 
 

 

  
 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR OUTDOOR USE

  
  PROTECT THE RAT ZAPPER ULTRA FROM WATER AND OTHER ELEMENTS TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRONICS OR “TRIPPING” OF THE CIRCUIT.
  • The best solution for continuous use outdoors is to purchase a PVC tube that is 6” in diameter and approximately 18” in length. Also purchase a cap for one end of the PVC tube.
  • After outfitting the Rat Zapper ULTRA with quality batteries and baiting the unit with dry bait, place the Rat Zapper ULTRA in the tube so that the back end of the Rat Zapper is toward the capped end of the PVC tube.
  • Place the PVC tube containing the Rat Zapper in a location of suspected rodent activity and secure the tube so that it will not roll or rock when the rodent enters the tube or Rat Zapper. (Rodents are weary to enter anything that does not provide stable footing.)
 
  Another temporary solution for the outdoor use of the Rat Zapper is to place the unit under a weather-proofed tarp, or you can place the unit in a plastic freezer bag that completely covers the Rat Zapper except for the entry. Use a rubber band to secure the plastic bag to the Rat Zapper.  
 

 

  
 

Battery Information

  
 

This page is designed to help you get the most from your Rat Zapper. We are keeping our eye on new, evolving battery technology to help you get the best bang for your buck when buying batteries for your Rat Zapper.

  
 

RECOMMENDED BATTERIES FOR CLASSIC RAT ZAPPER

  
 

We recommend Energizer e2 Lithium Batteries for superior performance. At the minimum we recommend Energizer, e2 Titanium or Duracell Ultra w/ M3 technology for good performance. Tests have proven that the Energizer e2 Lithium Battery works 7 to 10 times longer than the regular alkaline batteries.

If you can't find Duracell Ultras, or Energizer e2 Titanium, the next option is the regular Duracell Copper Top batteries or regular Energizer batteries.

RECOMMENDED BATTERIES FOR RAT ZAPPER ULTRA

We recommend Alkaline "D" Cell Batteries or Enhanced Alkaline Batteries available at your local retail establishments.

We do NOT recommend rechargeable batteries.

Conservation Tip: when your alkaline batteries are no longer powerful enough to be used in the rat zapper, there is usually still be plenty of juice to run other devices that require less energy (such as calculators, remote controls, electronic clocks and timers, etc.)
