Pyroandrew said:You don't need much to kill. 120V dc or 50V ac is enough to kill a human. Just having pads on the ground connected to mains is enough to kill. Rats are very clever though, they are not lemmings, kill one and the rest will find a new way. It's not incredibly humane either. High voltage generators are crap at killing, because they can't provide the necessary current for long enough, you'd need some meaty capacitors.
panic mode said:well, you can control if rats arrive to the killing place dry or wet too...
just make them walk/swim through watter :lol:
for example use wide and shallow container filled with watter (electrode #1).
in the middle setup plastic can with metal lid and some bait (make it raised so once the animal is electrocuted it falls down and circuit doesn't stay closed). also any burnning furr would be extinguished.
