Hi.
I discovered there are rats in the garden attracted by my compost bin. They are smart.
I am thinking of going beyond traps and poisons. My electricity is 240 V. I consider using suitable size pieces of board with mesh wire on top. Placing those about 50 mm apart. Then connect positive to one mesh, and negative to the other.
Hopefully it work this way. Placing the bait, say on the positive side, a rat will reach for the bait whilst still on the negative side, and complete the circuit.
The contraption will be well protected from the weather.
Any alternative, or better suggestions, most welcome.
Thank you.
