| Where can I find circuit for electronic rat trap? |

| rs20:
The three stated voltages of rat traps I can find in a Google search is 8kV, 8.5kV, and 9kV. True that normal mains electricity might kill a rat, but perhaps doing it reliably, repeatably and humanely* is a different story. * To be fair, with crushing/slow starvation of a normal mousetrap being our benchmark, there's a pretty low bar here. |

| Greorge:
Did anybody here was successful to make something like that and could share circuit and list of components? |
