Garden Pests and Diseases: Ever tried the rat zapper?, 1 by 4paws

Hi all - I'm here to spout praise for my rat zapper and can't find a place to do it in Garden Watchdog.. A few weeks ago I posted for help with a rat in another forum and Scutler referred me to the zapper. I bought one on ebay for $50 with shipping, but all was quiet under the house. Scutler warned me not to be fooled and a few days ago, the noises started again. I put it in the bathroom with dog food for a couple of nights until the food was gone, then charged it up with more food last night. Rat in the morning - a big one. Dumped it in the trash and reset it. Left for a few hours - came back and there was another one - even BIGGER! I swear this thing weighs five pounds!

I am glad I spent the $50 for that thing - and that I don't have to touch the dead rats or look at blood or hear them scream or traps snapping....wish they'd just accept the eviction notice and head out on their own.
