One of the best and hands down most fun I have owned is a trap(if you choose calling it)was one my brother home brewed more than fifty years ago. The business end is a transformer from a neon sign. Works like moving a plug wire away from ground just enough it stops sparking then pass a screwdriver between plug wire and ground. Zap, the arc resumes although the screwdriver is suspended in air ungrounded. Choose well traveled boards or other narrow and elivated routes. Elevated increases kill rate by 50% because sitting below ol sparky is a container of water where the dirty rat falls into and drowns in case he survives. Hopfully all our childhood neighbors are alive and well but don't frequint YT because I'm gonna reveal a family secret for the first time. Our aggrement with rat pluaged farmers was they leave some of their premium squeezings or iced down beer in the barn,set a lard can of parched peanuts and five gallon grease bucket with lid beside it and when things quited down late that night we would ease in and HAND CAPTURE and drown a few rats. Noone was to come near the barn while we operated because rats don't pay us much attention but you or the kids scare them into hiding. We knew who did and did not have elect power so that was a different kettle of fish. Flash-lite with red lens. Starting out it was paper off tire repair boots. How many of you recall those? Next morning farmer counted rats and beer,should tally out one drowned in grease bucket for four missing beers. If the tally was off one way or the other noone made a fuss. If you are wondering if us hillbillys thought drown rats might run off unless that grease bucket had a lid on it,no but like you fellers they had a bunch of half starved cats around most farms. I leave it to your emagination what kind of ridge runners people around there thought we were. We would have made a site more money catching wild livestock with our dogs and horses but have you tried roping off cow ponies drunk? Not bad if they line out accross an open field but where I come from everything besides river bottoms was in cotton and peanuts. Cattle pasture always included saw briars,thorn bushes and grape vines as large as your arm. That's where wild cattle go if you mess with them. Ask James and Nancy what Tx pastureland looks like. That's mot to infer Nancy tried ridding through there,much less without full awarness and sobrity. Neon parts can be pricy if you can find them but if you know your way round high voltage as many here claim to,a trasnformer,couple of capacitors and a hand full of other stuff will have you knocking them dead literlly and figuritively in nothing flat. Hooch optional but helps pass the time between action.
