if it catches a mouse and i'm gone for a week, will it keep zapping? is there ever a fire hazard for shorting out?

When it zaps a rat, there is a timed response during which the rat dies. Once the timed response is over, it does not zap the dead animal any further. The red light begins blinking when this sequence has occurred to notify you the trap needs to be cleaned out. So if left for a week, the carcass would probably begin to smell and the batteries might need to be changed out due to the nonstop blinking of the light.

Definitely make use of the OFF button. The air mouse, as stated by Joseph D Roberts, will kill the battery in a few hours. This is because it uses a wireless signal to track its location in real-time. But if you just use the remote feature (only turning on the mouse when needed) it will only transmit when a button is pressed. I've had mine for 3 months (admittedly I don't use the air mouse very often) and it still hasn't died. If you find that it is still dying after charging and leaving the switch off, I would definitely think about getting it replaced.

Oh yeah fer sure. It has a switch to turn it on and then you're able to press a button to actually zap. It won't switch it on AND press the button so it can't zap you

something i learned is that you can run a grounded line above and below each hot line, that way it looks like you have way more "ouch" to the dogs, also, if they like to jump all they have to do is touch both wires and since one of them is grounded, they don't need to be actually touching the ground to get the zap.

The trap must be reset after it goes off however I have found two mice in it at once. I think however they went in together.

Yes, it keeps mice and rats completely away from your home (including inside the walls). Remember, you have to give it a couple weeks to work completely. When you plug it in, make sure it's on the correct setting and then leave it alone.

No. If you use the Rat Zapper outside, you need to put it inside an enclosure, where it will be safe from rain, wind and snow. It works by electrocuting the critters, and it you leave it outside, the rain would short it out.

I had 1 for a small 1 story house. I did not trap any fleas...the light needed replaced after 4-5 days and the port that the bulb screwed into got very warm to hot. I felt a waste of money as it served as a nightlight. I did catch a mouse which prompted me to toss the whole unit.

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.

When you press the red button it activates (turns on) the zapper. If you aren't holding the button down you wont kill anything.

I don't turn my mouse off ever; I don't even recall if it has an on/off. I would read the manual if you are worried about this.

Well, As soon as I pressed the button up, it lit up pretty quick and you could hear the Zap, and also see the spark between the two prongs, so Im assuming this will really hurt!

The instructions say charge it for 8 hours once every 60 days. Not sure how many zaps you'd get out of a charge...

From my understanding, this "vibrates" the wires inside the wall to work. It didn't bother any of our pets. If you have mice in the home already when you plug in, you will need to catch them. They won't go back into the walls.

The light does stay on to let u know. But it didn't work for me. I still have mine plugged in and I still have a mouse problem. They just wait until night time now to come out and ruin stuff.

No, I have had mine pluged in ever since I got it. No problems at all, overheating isnt a problem, it also seems to be able to take a decent amount of punishment. I had droped mine right when I opened it. No problems even after that.
