Electrocuting Rats with the Rat Zapper

by Al

Rat TrapThis is the gadget way of solving rat problems, the Rat Zapper and it’s probably one of the more humane ways of killing a rat (that is if you can call killing something humane).

The Rat Zapper works by enticing a pesky rodent into the electrocution chamber where once detected it is zapped, with no blood and guts to be seen. From a technology point of view what impresses me with this product is that it is able to electrocute 10 rodents using just 4 “AA” Batteries, I wouldn’t of thought they had that much power.

I’ve used the classic rat zapper. One thing you did’t mention that I liked the best was when I killed a rat, I didn’t have to reach down and open a snap trap up to get the carcass off the trap. Yuck. With the zapper you just tilt it over a bag or container and the little bugger just slides right out. No danger of having to touch dead rats. Nice.
