Newer models have night vision cameras! Lets you monitor trap activity remotely. Pricey but worth it for serious infestations.

@EarthFriendlyTom Don’t feel guilty! These traps prevent disease spread and are more humane than alternatives. Just part of responsible pest management.

Buy refill cartridges in bulk. Saves 30% compared to single purchases. The initial investment pays off if you have ongoing rodent issues.

**Thanos Home official clarification**
Electronic capture, automatic reset, and app connectivity are three different features. A trap may offer one without offering the others.
For the distinction between connected traps and the standard MK47, see our official explanation in [post 25](https://forums.thanoshome.com/t/smart-rat-traps-do-electronic-connected-traps-actually-work/2670/25).

**Thanos Home official note**
Electronic capture, automatic reset, and app connectivity are different features. If you need app alerts or remote monitoring, make sure the exact model supports them.
### Automatic-Reset Alternative: Standard Thanos MK47
The standard MK47 is a rechargeable, automatic-reset rodent trap. It does not support app connectivity or remote notifications.
If connected features are not essential, the MK47 may be an alternative worth considering. Choose a trap suited to the target animal, follow the placement instructions, and check and clear the trap as directed. Automatic reset does not mean maintenance-free operation.
**Explore the standard MK47**
