Product Reviews

Great addition to the Rat Zapper
The Rat Tale is designed to be used with the Rat Zapper Ultra. It plugs into the top of the unit, and flashes whenever the trap has been activated. Since I had my Rat Zapper in the back of the attic, it was a big pain to go up into the attic every night to check the trap. Checking the trap a lot also discourages rats from entering it if it is constantly moved. The Rat tale has about a 25 foot long cord, and I was able to let it hang down from my attic (see picture). I kept looking up at it every time I came home, which I later found out was unnecessary since this thing flashes like crazy when it goes off. The LEDs are very bright so, there is little chance you will not notice is. I recommend it for anyone who plans to put the Rat Zapper in an inconvenient location.

Great enhancement for Ultra Rat Zapper
I hesitated to spend the extra money on this, but I am SO glad that I did. I thought that I bought it as an indulgent convenience, but now I know that it enhances the efficiency of the Ultra Rat Zapper tremendously. This is a great enhancement to the Ultra Rat Zapper!

I've had my Ultra Rat Zapper and Rat Tail for over two weeks with no activity. The Zapper is in the garage, and the Rat Tail on my kitchen floor. Well, 3 nights after the freely accessible dog food was removed from the garage (duh!), BINGO! I noticed the flashing lights of the Rat Tail within an hour. Because the Zapper had been sitting for so long with no activity, it wasn't on my mind, and I would not have thought to walk out to the garage to check on it. But because of the Rat Tail, I didn't need to think about it.

I emptied the Zapper, reset it, and plugged in the Rat Tail and left it. Next pass through the kitchen...yep, the lights are flashing again! Woo Hoo! I dumped and resest the Zapper, went to bed, and woke up not thinking about the Zapper, even though it had been thrilling to catch two already. I stumble into the kitchen in my morning fog to be greeted by the flashing lights yet again! The other reviewer was right...you can't miss the flashing lights if you're anywhere within the sight line.

I love this thing! The first rat would still be sitting in the Zapper, discouraging all the others from entering, had I not gotten the Rat Tail. Did I mention how cute it is, when the little eyes are alternately blinking??! :-)

The cord is small enough to wrap around the edge of my door within the door frame, with no damage to the cord. Another reviewer stated that the cord was 25 feet, but the product specs say it is only 12 feet. I think 12 feet is probably accurate. But that's plenty long enough for my uses. If you have any concern about the length, you might want to measure the distance from the location of the Zapper to a noticable placement of the Rat Tail, to make sure it will be sufficiently long enough.

You wouldn't be reading this review unless you had a rodent problem. Bottom line: The rats aren't hanging out where you are. Buy the Rat Tail so it will be! If you're going to spend the money on the Ultra Rat Zapper, go ahead and spend it on this. You will NOT be sorry.

Useful Addition
The rat tale, placed in an easy-to-see location, allows one to tell at a glance whether the trap, which may be in a hard-to-see location, needs to be emptied. I recommend it.
