Is there a site for small McGyver type items? Small actuators, sensors,
alarm trips, microswitches, light beam sensors, stuff one would use for
making people/animal actuated devices?

I would like to build some squirrel traps and driveway sensors, as well as
some intruder alerts.

TMT has lots of experience with gerbil activated devices.
