Frequently Asked Questions
•
Where should I place my trap?
Traps can be placed anywhere indoors. Place trap against a wall where rodent activity is
frequently seen.
•
Where is my trap/QR code?
The QR code is located on the bottom of the mouse trap and the back of the rat trap.
•
What kind of bait should I use?
The best baits are high in fat and protein, such as peanut butter or hazelnut spread.
•
How much bait do I need?
The trap has a bait cup that shows you exactly how much bait to use. Do not overfill the
bait cup. Do not place bait on the metal plates. Doing so may interfere with the electrical
functionality and your trap may not work unless you completely clean the bait off.

Network Speed:
The Gigahertz (GHz) range that a wireless device is using does not necessarily determine the
maximum speed of the Wi-Fi. A
Wireless-A
device that runs on the 5 GHz band can also
support a maximum data rate of up to 54 Mbps, which is exactly the same data rate that a
Wireless-G
device running on the 2.4 GHz band supports.
Range:
The 5 GHz band has a shorter range compared to a 2.4 GHz band. Because in radio
frequencies, the higher the frequency the shorter its range. In other words, if you are using
a lower frequency like the 2.4 GHz, the distance it will cover will be greater than the 5 GHz
band.

You may need to check your Wi-Fi signal strength. Do this by making sure your mobile device
is connected to your Wi-Fi network. Hold your mobile device in the place where your Victor
®
Smart-Kill™ trap will be stationed and check the Wi-Fi signal strength.
If you see:
Wi-Fi signal is strong. You’re all set!
Wi-Fi signal is weak. Your Victor
®
Smart-Kill™ trap will likely connect to your
Wi-Fi network, but connection may be intermittent.
No Wi-Fi signal:
Try one of the following:
•
Move your router closer to your Victor
®
Smart-Kill™ trap.
•
Buy a Wi-Fi range extender.
Indications that the trap did not successfully connect to Wi-Fi during setup:
•
A network/server error has occurred if the blue Wi-Fi light and the red Victor
®
“V” light stay
on for 5 seconds. Power the trap off and start over.
•
A password error has occurred if the blue Wi-Fi light and the red Victor
®
“V” light blink for 5
seconds. Re-enter password. Note that passwords are case sensitive.
