RADAR mousetrap

This invention, occasionally popping up on blogs, looks like a meaningless and absurd implementation of the “tricks” of the Kew lab (from Bond films), but in reality it is a rather serious and clever idea. And it largely ensured the success of one particular company.

The gadget is called RADAR (Rodent Activated Detection And Riddance - rodent-activated detection and elimination). This is the most high-tech and "humane" mousetrap in the world. And this small miracle is produced by the British company Rentokil .



Rentokil is the world's largest pest control and spreader infection company.

In the mousetrap there is no bait, poisons and other dangerous chemicals, so it is harmless to the environment, and to pets, and for the same food shops, finally.

Two small doors (like minks) lead to the elongated Mouse RADAR case. Rodents there leads natural curiosity. They say it works flawlessly. When the animal steps on the touch panel inside, the doors are closed and locked. Immediately, a dose of carbon dioxide is fed from a special container to a trap. The mouse loses consciousness after 10 seconds, and another 35 seconds later the animal dies.

A blinking light + SMS + e-mail to the address of the owner and the address of the local branch of Rentokil broadcasts about the death of a rodent.

A technician will come from the company to service the trap. Apparently, he would carefully (with rubber gloves) take out a gray corpse and pack it in a closed bag so that God forbid what kind of infection ... Well, you understand. How many mice have enough charge in the balloon is not specified.

At the same time, many RADAR mousetraps have an individual identifier, which, when a trap is triggered, conveys its exact location in the general scheme of the building.
