The folks at Victor Pest have come up with a "better mouse trap" which uses a high voltage shock to electrocute mice/rats in about 3 seconds. The Victor Multi-Kill electronic mouse trap then moves the dead animal to a collection box, and is ready for it’s next victim.
Victor claims the trap is so good that it can eliminate your mouse problems overnight. Not bad for $99.99.
Victor electric rat traps are really awesome. I’m using the Victor M250S, it works great.
