After each kill we recommend cleaning the trap. The trap should be turned off and the batteries removed. Then the metal plates can be wiped with a damp cloth. Once the trap has air dried the batteries can be reinserted and the trap turned on. The green light will flash once indicting the trap is on and ready.

i would call the Victor folks. From others' comments and reviews, they seem super-responsive and helpful.

these types of products are great, when they work. if a mouse is left to long the batteries go dead pretty fast at this time, i would recommend a 'professional' quality trap like this is you are going to buy at all. it holds true that you get what you pay for.

Probably a bad unit. I returned mine twice til I finally got a working unit.

the same thing happened to me - TWICE! The first time it lasted about 3 months, so I thought maybe it was just a fluke, but had amazon replace the item and then a month later it stopped working. Unfortunately - very bad quality product! I would still request a refund.....

I had the same problem. Even after getting it to work I could rarely get it to work again without a ton of frustration. I returned it to Amazon a week after getting it and bought a different model that works

Mine did the exact same thing and was bought at the same time. I took it to a local hardware store and they fixed it (not sure what they did to fix it) then it stopped working again after 2 weeks. I ended up just trashing it and plan to get a new one from a different company. It cost me $25 to get it fixed and it didn't make sense to pay another 25 for it to not work again :(

I have seen several posts like this. I bought this as well and my first one didnt work. They sent me another one and it worked fine. Even now I sometimes have to plug and unplug a couple times before my macbook air recognizes it. I just think they are cheap and faulty. Either have them send you a replacement (they didnt want the other one returned) or try another product and send back for a refund.

Mine doesn't work either anymore. I've learned it's better to spend a little bit more and get a better product. I bought another popular brand a few years ago and it lasted two years.

If you've recently bought it, send it back for a refund (the whole unit). Otherwise you may have to contact Amazon. It's pretty common that this unit fails in some way. I had two arrive "dead on arrival" before finally getting one that worked.

I got two in a row and they worked well for a minute and then died. I thought something was wrong with it, but I guess it may be the batteries...that is ridiculous. We only used it like 3 times.

I'm sorry Jason, I didn't have that problem, I bought 5 of them and they all work perfectly! I'd contact seller and request a new one.

I bought 3 of these for a trip with my family. Only one worked...and it stopped after a few uses. The other two did the same thing you described and I had to just toss them out. :(

No, bought this item twice (with replacement) and it does not work. turns on for few seconds, then just dies.

You might have gotten my first one. Same problem. I sent it back and got another one and it works fine. .

all I can tell you is the one I have worked fine. I did read some reviews of defective units, but mine was OK. Send it back and try another.
