I turned on the trap, the green light went on, then I heard soft buzz and green light went off. I turned it off and on again, same thing. What's wrong

I would suggest that after reading the operating information for the trap, that you redirect this question to the manufacturer. I am not going to be on their tech support team. I think the basic idea behind the traps might be ultimately effective, but maybe the implementation in the hardware is less than optimal.

I'm not sure about the buzz, but my hearing's not that great either. The green light going out seems to be normal. Both of my traps do that but rest assured they still zap the mice. I think the light briefly lets you know it's ready then shuts off to save the batteries.

Nothing, That it how it works. Green light comes on, buzz sound is it charging. Once it is charged the light and buzz shut off. When it kills a mouse the green light will blink about every 5 secs for 24 hrs.

I bought 5 and all were perfect. I would suggest to take the batteries out and reinstall and see if that fixes it. If not contact Victor. Sorry I couldn't help more. We put 5 traps on 3 floors and took care of all the mice in 24 hours.

The light turned off, nevertheless the trap is already on. This is one of the bad features on this product.

If you used peanut butter or even some soft cheese you have to make sure that it does not touch both metal parts. If it does then you will short out the system and it wont work when the mouse goes inside of it, and it will drain down the batteries. Just make sure that the food is towards the corner so when the mouse goes inside their feet will touch both parts of metal.

nothing is wrong. that's what it's supposed to do. the light lights up to let you know its on then shuts off. when you catch a mouse the light will flash like every 8 seconds. however if you dont check the trap the light will stop flashing and will begin to smell.

Hard to say without seeing it. Double check your wiring and your settings. It could be a loose wire, for example, or maybe the sensitivity is turned up too high. I set up the sensitivity on mine to come on right as you walk through the door. Also, if you have the time turned all the way down (test position), it will stay on for like 30 seconds and then shut off. That's the shortest setting. If it's coming on and off in shorter intervals than that, there is likely an issue with how it was connected.

The light on top was alternating red/green. I thought it might mean the batteries, but I checked & they are fully charged.Now, I can't get it to work at all, no lights, no pump, nothing...yes, the batteries are installed correctly. Any ideas?

I really don't know. Watch the link I've sent and try to determine if this seems like a viable solution. Initially I had no luck with it until I watched the video for the 5th or 6th time and caught the words "make the trap sensitive", then I trapped my gopher. I waited until I saw the gopher moving his dirt out and then I set it. He plugged the hole at first but sometime during the night he unplugged it and started moving his dirt and,... BAM "lights out". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQbZ4Z_3uXU

Is the green light on? If not, you need to unplug and start over. You should gain 1to 2 bars

You may need to do a master reset. If that doesn't work you may have to call the company. Or it's defective and you may need to return.

Aimee, My remote never lit up, except for the small green light under the channel (A/B) switch. That's the battery indicator and I know you've switched the batteries in the remote. It's very possible there's a loose wire/damaged circuit. One of two things you can do. If you're adventurous (and lucky), open up the panels on the remote and look inside to see if there are any loose wires, connections, etc. If you're smart, get in touch with customer service at Amazon. It's possible you received a dud and it just needs replacing. I know it's a hassle but this "toy" is really a lot of fun. Let me know how it goes!

I think there maybe a defective battery. Mine came partially charged and then charged it to have the green light come on

Make sure that both switches on the wand are "ON" and both green lights are lit.

Id have to dig out the unit. I thought there was a green light on top. Otherwise leave charging for like 12 hours with everything off. Hippie this helps.

If it is in working order the green light will blink once when you turn it on. When a rat is in the trap the green light will blink until you turn it off to remove the remains.

It should glow right away. Check to make sure your plug is 'live'. Otherwise, you got a defective unit.

That would be my guess (but i'm no expert). did you put in a new battery or is this the old one? i didn't have any lighting issues, but my battery was new. it did take 24 hours for my security alarm (where i put the new battery) to reset itself, but your issue could be completely different. sorry i can't be more help.

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.

Maybe it is one of these 4 items that is outa' whack. Make sure: 1. Talk Through is not activated(green light off & red light on). 2. You have a good AAA battery installed. 3. The slide switch on the left side is in Normal position. 4. The little red light on the right side is ON by pressing ON/OFF. With that you should be good to go! Easy-Peezy... GL

Make sure the arrows on power adapter connector and the light strip are lined up. Also hit some other buttons on the remote. Could be a damaged sensor.
