Manufacturer's Description
The Procter Pest-Stop Electronic Mouse Killer uses 'smart' electronics to ensure both a quick and humane kill, and allows it to be safely used around children and pets.

The device works by electrocuting the mouse when it reaches a point inside the trap where it touches two plates and completes an electrical circuit. This kills the mouse virtually instantly and thereore makes the device very humane.

The device is very safe to use, and opening it disables the electronic circuit, and the entrance is designed in a way that fingers can't be inserted.

A warning light signals that the device has been activated so that the dead mouse can be removed and the trap reset. The device requires four AA batteries and full instructions are included.

Spend a little extra and get the larger electronic rat killer instead
I have used both these mouse killer units and the larger, more expensive electronic rat killer / zapper type units advertised elsewhere on Amazon and Ebay. I don't currently have a mouse problem but have a relative of mine who recently needed a few mice gotten rid of quickly from her home. First we tried the electronic mouse unit in combination with poison. This was not really effective as a solution - only one kill over several weeks with evidence of the odd mouse or two still remaining. In desperation rather than expectation we bought the larger electronic rat killer, after reading customer reviews which said that it was very effective against mice. Within the first two days of use, we had a couple of kills with the larger electronic rat killer and have had no sign of any more mice since. The bigger unit also has the advantage that there is no need to handle or even see the mouse body when disposal. I would advise spending the extra £10 or so (including p and p) and getting a rat killer / zapper unit instead of the mouse killer unit as the bigger unit is simply more effective and convenient. I guess the mice more readily wander into the rat killer unit than the mouse version because of the bigger entry hole, and get nailed due to the larger kill plates. The electronic rat killer is probably more humane than the smaller mouse unit too as it gives the mouse a more powerful zap! Not very economic mind....

It didn't work at all UNTIL I did some mouse-psychology thinking
I worked out how to improve the baiting. The instructions just say to put some peanut butter or something at the inside end of the trap. This caught nothing for months. Then I figured out that a mouse would be a bit nervous of making its way all the way in. So I put little tasters at the entrance, and on the edge of each of the inner chicanes. Hey presto, the trap suddenly started killing them regularly.

So sorry to all the wee sleekit cowrin' timorous beasties. I'm not scared of them. But the girlfriend is. And I'm scared of her. So the weakest links in the chain have to suffer. That's life.

A very humane kill
I don't want to kill mice, if they didn't spread their waste around my kitchen surfaces I would leave them alone but I have a ten month old baby crawling everywhere and when he picked up a mouse poo I knew they had to go! I tried live catch mousetraps and they kept coming back. I received the electronic mousetrap last night and by this morning two mice were dead. It is an excellent product that delivers a quick and humane kill, the last thing the mice knew was the taste of peanut butter. I would definately recommend this product.
