Imprimer la page1. Q: I turn on my unit and press the "Check Button," but the "Check Light" doesn't go on. How
come?
A: The Check Button is intended to check whether a rodent has triggered the zapper. If a rodent has
NOT triggered the zapper, the Check Light should NOT go on.
2. Q: The bait is gone, but the Check Light doesn't go on. How come?
A: There may be gaps between the C-cell batteries which prevent the zapper from zapping. Open the
large battery door and rotate the C-cell batteries. Make sure you have a fresh 9 volt alkaline battery
installed in the zapper. Also, see FAQ #4.
3. Q: The bait is gone, and the light goes on, but there is no mouse or rat. How come?
A: The zapper is sensitive to moisture. Rain, dew, or condensation can trigger the zapper. Make sure
the zapper is dry. Moist bait can trigger the zapper. Shake the Electrocution Chamber so that the bait
is all the way at the back by the Kill Grill. If that doesn't help, check the 9 volt battery; it could be
low. Occasionally, a large cockroach can set off the zapper. If you suspect you have roaches, you may
want to place a roach trap near the zapper.
4. Q: How to I test the Rat Zapper?
A: Using a plastic handled screwdriver, put the shaft of the screwdriver against the upper inside front
edge of the unit and touch the tip of the probe on the metal pad which you see near the center of the
tube. A rather substantial spark and "zap" will occur indicating the Rat Zapper is operating properly.
5. Q: How do I clean the zapper?
A: Make sure the zapper is OFF and the batteries are removed when cleaning the zapper. Rats are
wary, but they are more likely to enter the zapper if it smells like a rodent. If you must clean the
zapper, flush the Chamber out with a garden hose. If that is not sufficient, you can use electronic
contact cleaner and/or a nylon bristle brush. Contact cleaner contains alcohol and is combustible,
so be sure to allow several minutes drying time before testing.
6. Q: Why does the alarm sound or why does the Check Light come on when I turn the zapper on?
A: Two main reasons for this: rodent urine or dead 9-volt battery. Usually rodent urine is not a
problem because it evaporates fairly quickly, but it can cause problems. See FAQ #4 on how to clean
the Rat Zapper. Also, you could have a 9-volt battery that is low. Try replacing it with one that is
known to be good.
7. Q: The zapper seems to zap, but I keep finding it triggered with the bait gone. Why?
A: Again, this could be due to moisture from condensation or high humidity, but there may be a more
gruesome cause. Rats and mice can be cannibalistic. When one gets zapped, it is possible that the
others are dragging the body away and stealing the bait. To test this theory, try sprinkling some flour
in front of the zapper to see if you can detect any dragging. Occasionally, a large cockroach can set off
the zapper and rats like eating those too!
8. Q: They won't take the bait. What should I do?
A: Rats are wary of new objects in their environment. We suggest that you place some bait in the
Electrocution Chamber and some bait out in front. If they don't even take the bait in front of the
Chamber for three days, try these suggestions:
