Rats and mice are pest species that cause enormous amounts of damage, food loss, health issues and more. We invest many resources in their control, with a strong emphasis on the use of toxic baits. But the world is changing. The use of anti-coagulant rodenticides is under grave threat in Europe, and increasing restrictions are being placed on rodenticides in the USA.

Old-style control units, often called ‘zappers’, use a high-tension electrical grid that kills by an electrical discharge so powerful that particles of the insect
