This sure ain’t your father mouse trap. The days of spring-loaded, inhumane mouse-traps are a thing of the past. Enter the Rentokil RADAR mouse-trap. The Rodent Activated Detection and Riddance system gets with the high-tech times that we live in. Like something out of a diabolical 007 movie, the RADAR system uses lasers and pressure sensitive floors to detect the presence of pests – which triggers the closing of the door and a measured dose of carbon dioxide to humanely off the mouse.
And, in keeping with the high-tech theme, the RADAR mouse trap will notify you via SMS text message when it’s time to clean the mouse trap. Now we just need Rentokil to develop a robotic RADAR-aid to dispose of the pest-carcass for you.
Rentokil says that their RADAR system is available now for custom-installation only. Price is not known, but expect to pay a bit more than the traditional wood/steel mousetraps of yore.
