Is the Rat Zapper reusable? Or is it one-time use / disposable?

Mine is reusable. How many times I don't know. It has a high voltage section that will probably limit its lifetime.But I'm up to 21 now and counting.

It can zap lots of critters before the 4 AA batteries lose their charge. Then you just replace them.

I've killed 19 rats since April 2013 with the one unit. But you must check it every morning, otherwise the decomposing rat will ruin the contacts.

I have mine for over a year now, and I just have to replace batteries after awhile. The unit even has a indicator for battery replacement, so you don't need to guess. It is still working, and I've zapped a giant rat the other day. Disgusting, but glad that thing is dead.

The Rat Zapper is used with batteries and can be used over and over again. Easy to arm, easy to empty. Great Product!

You can use it forever. The rat walks in, gets zapped, you pick up the Rat Zapper, tip it so the rat slides out into the garbage. Don't think the rat feels anything. Caught one holding a small piece of bread. I think it was about to take a bite of the bread when it was zapped. The bread was the bait. All you have to do is keep fresh batteries in the unit. I use rechargeable.

yes, you can use it multiple times, you just have to recharge it after use. Hope this helps. :)

I was wondering the same thing & couldn't find an answer anywhere online so a few days ago I contacted their customer service directly & received an email back today that read the Zap Power "does NOT have a limit to the number of total uses."

No. I think the rat is smart not to get into the zapper, period. I know that because the bait in the zapper stays in tack no matter how long I set it out.

Yes it is re-useable. Sometimes you might damage it taking it off. It's good to have a few on hand. The Park chain link tool is helpful.

If you hold down the zapper button while holding the zapper against the bug for a couple of seconds the spider / bug is killed but it does NOT stick to the zapper itself. I like this because I have not had to clean the zapper once. The surface sort of reminds me of a non-stick skillet! Last night I killed a rather fast moving spider on the wall and I just maneuvered it so the dead spider was sitting on top and walked it to the door and flipped it outside! Done. Tuned it off, put it away. (Still working off original batteries from almost 9 months ago too.)

Yes, one time use only. Don't waste your money. Invest in the bigger kit that is reusable!

It says it is single use, but I kept it because I can't see any reason why it can 't be used, again. It is simply a heavy-duty zip close baggie with a large absorbing pack in it. Works great!!!

You can re-use as long as you don't add the hardener. Open and close as many times as you need. Hope this helps...

The tool appears to be highly reusable. I have used it several times and it resets itself automatically, much like a tool used in marking steel for drilling, etc. There is no need to "reset" the tool, as it does so automatically.

Is this blade truly a one time use? As in, I use it to free myself, and then it is not able to be reused to free my children?

I would say that they are not reusable. When used they pick up so much dirt and stuff that the swiffer is so dirty you just want to throw it away and use another one for your next cleaning. Hope that helps.

My rat zapper came with cleaning instructions. Have you tried cleaning the unit per the instructions? I have not experienced your situation.

Absolutely one time use. Once they have sucked the oxygen out of your Mylar bag or mason jar they have done their one time job and you just trash them after you open the container. If you want to reseal the same jar for another period of time just drop a fresh oxygen absorber in and put your same lid back on. Hope my answer has been helpful. Happy New Year!!

It is reusable and it comes in a resealable bag. You cannot clean it. It is reusable until it is filled with dirt or dust and loses its stickiness.

The plunger is in sterile packaging and not designed for reuse. If reused it should be sterilized prior to repacking. Consider the risk of infection or contamination before deciding to reuse what is designed as a disposable item. My .02

Yes it is reusable, the double notch in the link allows for user to slide it forward for removal once it is installed.
