there is a capacitor in there someplace.

Huh! I don't think of 4 D-cells in a flashlight being deadly like that.

I wish the Rat Zapper people made a larger version I could use on
squirrels.

An alkaline D-cell is, what, 15Ah? Four of them (at 1.5V) is That's about
90Wh, not an inconsequential amount of power. Boost the voltage a bit and,
trust me, it'll light you up.

Squirrels and rats are about the same size...

I think the rat zapper would kill squirrels just fine. Probably not
an approved method for a critter who enjoys protection in most [all?]
states, so the company can't advertise it.

Except for the fluffy tail, and the ability to climb trees to rob bird
nests I don't see much difference.

We get these critters at work... the traps usually take care of them within 30 seconds. The odd time you'll find a trap that's moved a foot from where it was set, the poor thing tried to haul off with the trap. No glue traps, you're then faced with how to dispose of a pest that's still alive...

I dunno about rats, but I snapped this photo of our long gone but fondly
remembered cat, Darwin.

I'd set a Victor mouse trap to catch a mouse that Darwin didn't seem
interested in, but when the mousetrap did its thing, Darwin dragged it
and it's bounty into another room and was playing with it under a table.

Do they die quickly when the big rat traps spring?

I'm not talking the little mouse traps - but the larger classic Victor
rat traps.
I have had a nest of them living behind my bath tub that they reached through a hole in the wall in my bedroom. I got 2 Victor classic traps, over a billion sold and staked out the hole. one with banana somebody told and the other with dog treats. They never hit the banana but they loved the dog treats.By the end of the day today I had killed 5 female rats and one big male rat on the very last. All the smaller females died instantly with a crushed neck it looks like. The big male was messy. He thrashed around for a few seconds and smeared blood all over the floor. But it was so worth it to get rid of his as$.

Wow, someone is heartless. Why would anyone feel sorry for a pedophile - a person that gets off on raping children? Which we had snap traps for those asshole.

Well I actually just heard one go off in my basement 20s when I got there the rat had moved the trap about 1-2 feet and was thrashing around but I don't believe he was still alive, smashed him with a brick to make sure he didn't run when I threw him in the trash, they can be adorable, so if they stop destroying my house is let it go

No reason to act like we care about rats. They have no good use in this world. Full of disease, scares my kids, and destroys lives and homes! Just saying, dont feel bad, They dont belong in this planet.

Not by this tourist; I've been there. Even in the early '70s the desk
clerk at the hotel advised me to stay north of Roosevelt Road.

I'm reading a post-apocalyptic novel where in a scene set in Baton Rouge
the protagonists are advised to avoid any street named after a
president. That does for more cities than Baton Rouge.
