Mice and Rats.
And GavinB, in war it's often better to wound or maim an enemy than to outright kill him. Reason being that then other soldiers of the enemy are likely to get involved with trying to save him rather than with fighting your comrades.
This thread is bringing the funny.

Excuse me, Mrs. B, but can Gavin come out and play?
Your dog just ate an avocado!
. . . and there's nothing necessarily kind and quick about the snap traps. I've had to dispatch a few rodents, from deer mouse to golden-mantled ground squirrel, which have been partially paralyzed by a missed snap and ended up in hideous convulsions.
It's a good premise that we should eat whatever we kill. It's a karmic necessity.
Recipe for rodent:
Large saucepan
water
rodent
brick
fork
Boil water, brick and rodent in saucepan. When you can stick a fork in the brick, the rodent is done.
Eat.

Highly entertaining. This thread has it all, except for an actual
Rodent Infestation!
Seriously, one half-dead mouse, that's it?
Well, if this'll make you happy:
And, the electric trap that only caught this one. (For the techies: Neutral wire to large mesh around outside, hot wire to mesh in middle, that's a 10 amp circuit breaker on their just in case.) Don't know why it wasn't more effective. The little buggers stayed away from it, never ate the bait except this one. Maybe the shock bounced them off it without killing them?

I said it before, you need the Victor traps with the fake chees, then put some peanut butter on the cheese.
Also, set it to S, you can barely get the thing set without it snapping. It kills mices.
But enough of that.
mousse mice, anyone?

or mice mousse? That looks delish tacodip!
Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

It probably would. Problem with 220/240 is that it's two phases of 110/120. No neutral. So, setting it up like that would cause a 110/120 jolt to anything touching the outer layer unless you put it on some kind of insulating mat that would prevent grounding. Also, just touching the inner layer would also be only 110/120. You have to make contact between the two layers to get the full 220/240.

you've definitely thought about this a lot more than I have...
but it seems doable; 1 hot leg on the big mat, other hot leg on the small (bait) mat, insulated from ground and each other...
don't worry Gavin...I don't really want to pop my alleycats, they're probably the reason I don't have mice!

I stay in CT, and recently, I was dealing with rodent infestation at my home. I had gone with some extensive damage, bad smell of shit and pee of rodent were coming out all over our stuff. I used fluorescent to spray, but it was of no use. Then immediately I called up the rodent control Fairfield County CT team at yalepest , where the exterminators CT had used effective methods to eliminate the rodents.

I've updated from the damn touchy Victor traps to these:
Super simple to set and work like a champ.
The other night I was walking home from the bar at 2am along the Rue Saint Martin, I watched what could only be called a "rat party." Perhaps a half dozen rats of varying sizes were playing tag under a full moon. I am not sure I have ever met a group of human beings that were having as much fun as these rats. They stopped for a second to regard me, but not with menace or fear. It was more informational, as if to remind me that by day this might be a street for people but by night it was for RAT PARTIES ONLY.
I nodded and tipped my hat and continued on my way.
