Question 1

Light flashing but when I went to empty no mouse caught? What’s going on

Accepted Answer

Usually means there is a short between the 2 plates. Try cleaning it and remove any substance touching both plates or look and see if there is a manufacture defect with something touching both plates. This how the traps work. When the Mouse touches both plates it sends a current through it killing it.  The flashing green light indicates a short.  Also I would suggest putting a little bait at the entrance to attract the rodents to the trap.

Question 2

Do these come pre-baited? Mine came with peanut butter already in both traps.

Accepted Answer

My trap, which I started using a week ago, did not come pre-baited. I can only say that in the last week I have captured about 25 mice. I thought I had maybe 5. This has been a process. I started out with catch and release traps. Caught a few, but problem persisted. Read about this trap and it seemed the most humane solution. And I believe it is. Mice have made no noise when killed. And the few I have looked at did not have a pained look.

Question 3

When I turn it on a green light flashes and I had never heard a buzz sound, what is wrong?

Accepted Answer

Nothing is wrong. I do not believe the buzzing sound is very loud. It most likely occurs as a result of the capacitors charging up to a killing voltage. By the way it will not seriously hurt a person adult or child but they will never play with it again if they do set it off. I love these things. Sometimes the Green light does not come on after a kill so check them once a day. 
It is important that you put them up against a wall as mice travel along walls.

Question 4

Will it harm a cat or its paw?

Accepted Answer

In My Opinion, This Will NOT Harm A Cat..Or It's Paw..
