Ahh? thread after my own heart, this was driven by the covid virus. I was seeing more and more rats and mice than usual, more than likely the new neighbors have horses and with the feed?ere they came.
I have the top lined with galvanized and a pedestal in the middle also lined with galvanize, these are wired to a pigtail with the exposed osb to break continuity.
I wired up a control box seen to the right, I plug a 50 extension cord into that and plug the trap into extension cord into that. The serrated spike on the pedestal is where I slide a piece of bacon onto.
Maiden voyage it took no more than 5 min. to see the first rat, he sniffed all around it but would not climb up, after a minute, he couldn稚 take it no more, when he raised up on his hind legs and touched the pedestal he jumped straight in the air, did not kill.
I sat there in my chair having an adult beverage and saw this happen several more times.
I did get 2 nice ones and while I was dressing them up for supper I noticed they have furry pads on the bottom of their feet?at my beverage down went and got spray bottle and watered all metal down.
Itç—´ been 95% kill rate and the rice is almost done?ee ya.
