What You Need to Know About Electric Rat Traps
Electric rat traps are the most ideal form of pest control in a public setting for all commercial entities.
There is nothing more unnerving than seeing a rodent scamper along a passageway on an extravagantly furnished cruise ship, or crawling along the aisle of a passenger airliner about to disembark for an intercontinental journey.
How it Works Traps which are electrified usually come in the form of a plastic enclosure resembling a small dog house.
There is an opening in one end for the rat to enter.
A rat will then enter through the doorway, having sniffed the replaceable bait inside, and step within, out of public view.
Electronic sensors will detect a rodent by the weight of the rat applying pressure upon the metal floor of the trap.
An instant later, power supplied by conventional batteries will apply the killing shock for up to two minutes to ensure proper elimination.
Some manufacturers claim one set of batteries will dispose of approximately ten rats.
Discrete LED Indicators To be more user-friendly, a few models have red and green LEDs mounted on the housing to indicate when a trap is ready (green), and when a trap must be emptied (red).
Once you see the red light flashing, simply empty the trap and you're done.
Even better are other competing units which will save you time and actually store up to ten rats in an adjacent compartment.
This will make it unnecessary to constantly dump the contents.
Humane Way of Disposal and Control There were basically three ways to eradicate rodents.
Historically, the first way was by means of nearly decapitating the rat with a bar attached to a powerful spring.
The second method involves poisoning the rodent to die an extremely slow and agonizing death.
The third type consisted of laying a glue trap to seize a rodent.
The rat was typically very much alive even though it could no longer move.
Imagine having to throw away a living creature despite it being seen as a pest! These brutal means are rarely tolerable by modern society.
Electric rat traps dispose of rodents by shocking them, an ending much more forgiving than previous alternatives.
Discrete Pest Elimination Viewing a snap trap in the open is a public relations nightmare for businesses.
The public image of a business is at stake, so all measures to ensure a sense of basic cleanliness must be taken.
Even though the floor may be polished to a mirror shine, one lone rat seen running along a corridor will ruin anyone's carefully manicured image.
With electric rat traps, you'll be able to place these units in places which may be visible to the public.
Generally people will tolerate this because they already know the ghastly activities taking place therein will remain hidden from their delicate eyes.
So if you need to contain a rodent infestation, do take into account the public relations advantages of an electric rat trap.
You'll be saving yourself from the headaches of appeasing an unhappy public while preventing an influx of unwanted rodents.
