This American designed mousetrap is sold in the UK under the Rentokill brand. It's interesting in that it uses a pair of metal pads to zap the mouse for a short time.

Here's a link to Shawn Wood's video showing the trap working:-

Shawn lives on a farm and controls unwanted rodents out of necessity. He features lots of new and old mousetraps including 3D printed versions sent in by viewers.
He used to show them working in more detail, but fell victim to militant flagging on YouTube and now censors the demos.

I'd like to stress that I'm not into animal cruelty at all. I think mice and rats are quite cute and know that people often keep rats as pets. However, I'm also aware that there are some environments where you just don't want mice or rats breeding.

If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
