Please follow these important steps to ensure you get the maximum benefit from the Rat Zapper
you have purchased (turn the page for pictures of items):
1. Batteries - Install the C-cell batteries and rotate them (see picture of Battery Holder). This
will ensure the batteries are touching the metal contacts on the ends of the battery holder.
Also, ensure the 9 volt battery is installed in the back of the zapper. All batteries should be
new, alkaline batteries.
2. Check Button and Light - These are NOT intended to test the zapper. These DO tell you
whether there is a rodent in the trap.
3. Testing the Rat Zapper - WARNING - this step is purely optional - use caution - please
read all warning labels on product
• place yellow Power Supply and metal Electrocution Chamber on the edge of a bench
or table
• turn the zapper Main Switch ON
• touch the metal tip of a plastic-handled screwdriver against the inside top of the
Chamber and slide it in until the tip touches the Kill Plate (see See-thru View of the
Chamber)
• to trigger the zapper, you must maintain contact between the inside of the Chamber
and the kill plate
• the zapper alarm should sound and you should see a spark between the screwdriver
and the Kill Plate
• to reset the zapper, turn the Main Switch OFF and then back ON
4. Runway Placement - Place the Electrocution Chamber on a flat, level surface against a wall
in an area where there is suspected rodent activity. Remove other traps and sources of food.
5. Pre-baiting Strategy - Rats are intelligent and wary. Therefore, we recommend that you pre-
bait your zapper.
• drop some dry bait through the bait hole into the Bait Dish in the Chamber (see
Breakaway View of Electrocution Chamber), but leave the Main Switch OFF
• place some bait out in front and in back of the Chamber
• when the bait has been taken from inside the Chamber, re-bait and turn the Main
Switch ON
After zapping your first rodent, the others will be more interested in the zapper. Dispose of the
rodent, then reset the zapper by turning the Main Switch OFF and then back ON. If the bait is
not being taken, try a different bait or try moving the trap or call Agrizap, Inc. for more
suggestions.
For more details, please read the attached Product and Safety Manual. We believe you will find
our Rat Zappers to be the most effective way to deal with an unpleasant problem. Let us know
how it works for you by calling us at (888) DEAD-RAT (332-3728). Thanks.

The RAT ZAPPER is so effective because all the RODENT has to do is enter the Electrocution Chamber and touch the inconspicuous Kill Plate. A high voltage, low amperage current is then supplied by the Power Supply to the Kill Plate for approximately two minutes.
