mostlikely it got wet if you have a sprinkler system ,check that .we use hard shelled peanuts .no peanut butter or any soft foods .

Did it get wet? Mine got damp and sizzled, but the green light came on after cleaning and drying it. I bought it for chipmunks, but have never managed to trap and "fry" but one chip monk. The main problem is that it should not be put outside because of dampness or rain.

Lights on? Green light? Red light. The plate area in the middle has to be absolutely clean. Any debris or peanut butter disables it with a flashing red light.

Mine did the same thing prior to dying completely - if not too late you may want to return it (see my review).

I had the same thing happen. From the internet surfing I did, I assumed the unit was dead. Sorry.

I just added directly to the water. I loved mine, until it died about 3 months after getting it. Don't know what happened. Total bummer!

I used an electrical snake (fish tape) and electrical tape to secure it. You could easily cut the p-trap and put new one on if it's that.

Sorry, mine died. The other 4, from a different co. are fine. Perhaps the water spray for the larger ones was too much for the little red one.

It worked throughout my 1000 sq foot apartment, even through walls and closed doors, but mine only lasted 3months before it died. Just a heads up.

Mine died too in less than a month. It's a cheap piece of junk. I didn't have my receipt either. I threw it away.

Jenny, I should also tell you that I purchased this device about 3 months ago and it just died on me. I am purchasing 2 more one to use and the other as a spare as I'm not sure about the life of the device.

It died when I had it inside, but I think it would have died outside too. I wouldn't buy this again.

Traps will turn black (dead) it's normal you will lose some from time to time as for the Distelled water I stopped giving Distelled water to my VFT I try getting as much rain water and water them with that remember that's what they were getting before they were taken from their environment and give them plenty of sun hope this helps

Mine died after 4 months, followed procedures as outlined. Called them and was told I could get new one for half price plus shipping, not worth it. Wouldnt recomend

The unit died ~2 months after I bought it so i'm not in any position to answer T. Jackson's question [How does the random prog....]

Have you contacted the company? I am trying to figure out what do so with mine -- bought it in dec, it died a month later. Horrible product!

For me it lasted 6 months. I changed them because they were full of moths inside and luckily the problem seems to have resolved because the new traps I placed 2 months ago are clean! Good luck.

Mine died after 3 months. The documentation says to call about a replacement. When you call and after they take all the information , they tell you that the warranty requires that you send it back and provide all the information that you just gave to the guy on the phone for a replacement . Just too much trouble. I wouldn't buy one no matter how they were hooked up

I had the same thing happen and had to return my unit which I did by contacting Amazon. If you look at the reviews of this product, which is great when it works, only lasts 1-3 months. There is definitely a problem here.
