I need something like this for squirrels. One of my cats died and the other is old and just likes to sleep all day. In the meantime, the squirrels have taken over my driveway and like to chew on wires underneath my car. Grrr.

@PhilR8: Put some moth balls in your driveway where you park your car. Squirrels hate the smell and wont go near them. It works pretty well for most any kind of animal, who doesnt hate that smell, including moths.

My boss lost one of these electric traps in his garage. The contacts corroded and a mouse started living inside of it. A mouse with an acute sense of irony.

Build a better mousetrap? Not that hard. Mice are curious and standard mousetraps are 90% effective in 24h. Build a better mouse trap for less than 2 for 99 cents? That's hard.

@The Lab: NPR's This American Life actually had an interesting interview about just that topic with the folks from Victor where they basically said the same thing. Worth a listen just for the humorous ideas that get submitted to Victor by home inventors.

EEWw, imagine having to empty it. Thats why I use poison pellets, in the hopes they wander off and die elsewhere and I dont have to deal with tiny mice corpses.
(Peanut butter is the best bait.)

@Curves: If you wire it up properly then you really only need to empty out ashes.

@Curves: My cat eats them, so basically I have a vastly superior vermin control system.

@Kaiser-Machead's Cookie-Powered LEGO Machine: I dont know if I have mice or not, if the poison pellet level drops, I blame "evaporation". When cleaning out the garage this summer, I wandered upon 2 dead mice on top of a roll of insulation. I carefully cleaned all around it, keeping my eyes averted, repeating to myself "Did not see, did not see" and then put everything back. Hopefully by the time I clean there again, they will have turned to dust. Yes, I know, its denial, but who says you have to face all of your fears. I am perfectly happy pretending it never happened.

(My cat passed away, so I have a guest cat from the neighbors house cruise my yard a few times a week. Seems to work out well.)

@Curves: Mouse eats poison pellet. Cat eats mouse. Cat 'turns to dust'.

@Gann Cats already dead; old age not poison. Guest cat is outside only.

@Gann:

non-toxic to any animal that eats the deceased rodent, per the text on the box. the poison works by causing internal bleeding, and once the rodent has bled out from the inside, the poison degrades to the point of non-toxicity.

@LesterGaze: Thank you. I feel better knowing I am not poisoning cats too.
