Instead of whinging and whining about designing better mousetraps, Victor Pest just sat down and did it, coming up with the Victor Multi-Kill Electronic Mouse Trap. It’s powered by four C batteries which will kill the mouse 100% dead in three seconds and then drop it through a trapdoor into an easy-to-empty dead mouse bin. The trap then resets itself for more mouse-frying functionality and it can vanquish up to 10 of them per setting.

A set of batteries will dispatch 150 mice, and the drawer will hold up to 10 cremated critters. It’s completely people friendly, opening the top of the trap disables it and there are no chemicals, just keep adding peanut butter or bacon bits as bait. Mice can enter from either end of the trap as well so it’s easy to place. There’s even a little green light that will tell you there’s a mouse in the drawer before your nose does. US$99

Quick, humane kill of mice. Highly economical, the trap kills 10 mice per setting, 150 mice per set of batteries, and provides a 100% kill rate – that means no escapes!
