An electronic rat trap is just goofy sounding. As a guy, I naturally like things which involve a large level of voltage, which makes the electronic rat trap a very interesting idea. The only question is, does it work? Is it actually viable as a way of eliminating pests. I've dubbed the electronic rat trap the rodent electric chair, and have found some interesting facts out about these little devices that I think you'll find interesting. Enjoy!
My parents have recently had a lot of trouble with rodents. With large avocado trees and a deck where mice, rats, and other vermin can live, we've seen a high population of rats move into the neighborhood. Generally, people have used poison as a way of terminating rats and mice, but that's not always a great option for homes because the poison will also generally harm or kill a household pet. That's the reason why I've been doing research on a wide range of different options, one being the electronic rat trap.
An electronic rat trap delivers a lethal 8,500 volts of electricity, which is more than enough capacity for killing large rats and mice, and for giving a nice jolt to any living thing. I hope it's not harmful to humans :) Just kidding, it's not. As a young person, I was enchanted with the strange blue lights that zapped mosquitoes and other airborne insects around buildings. Electronic rat traps are equally as cool, and I definitely am eager to see one in action.
People will try all manner of tactics to get rid of vermin. I remember when I was younger that my parents had one of those plastic owns on our rooftop, which didn't seem to work at all with rodents, but definitely horrified my dog. The electronic rat trap seems to be the ultimate, though fanatical, endeavor to date for pest control. 8,500 volts! Are you kidding me? That seems like overkill to me, but what can ya do?
The electronic rat trap gets its power from a battery, though a solar powered version would be even more awesome, though I'm not sure the sun would be a viable source for 8,500 volts of shock power :) I've searched but haven't seemed to be able to find a solar powered one yet.
For some reason I haven't yet been able to determine, it seems that urban regions are beginning to see a higher infestation of rodents than before. As a landscaper on the side, I continually come across yards that are devastated by rabbits, rats and mice, as well as a few other critters. Though I haven't been able to find the cause of this recent infestation, many people are exploring their options for pest control. I think one of the big factors with the current infestation is that I live in an area that's had a couple of recent fires. The outer hillsides have been ravaged, which I'm sure is a factor that drives much of the animal population into urban areas. Whatever the factor, they're not going to be happy when they accidentally step into an electronic rat trap and find 8,500 volts of power introduced through a metal plate in the floor. Man, I'm glad I'm not a rat.
