Rubbish Christmas Presents Volume 6

This one is for Gill.

What do you send to someone who has everything?

rentokil radar mouse trapMouse RADAR - The World’s Smartest Mousetrap

“The cleanest, kindest, smartest mousetrap yet.

Problems with mice? Let RADAR take care of them. RADAR stands for Rodent Activated Detection And Riddance — which describes exactly what it does. We identify rodent runs, then simply lay mouse pest control RADAR boxes along them. When a mouse enters the box pressure sensitive pads detect their presence and close the doors. A measured dose of carbon dioxide is released — killing the rodent quickly and humanely, with no toxins going into the environment.

There’s no danger of contamination from pesticides or from the corpse because it is completely isolated — and the clever little device can even send an electronic alert or email to notify operatives of the capture.” From those lovely people at Rentokil

Bet they haven’t got one of those! Who on earth wants an email enabled mouse trap. Do the little blighters have time to type out their last wills and testaments? Do they get to phone a friend?

I don’t think this would be a rubbish Christmas present, but it would certainly be a very strange one.

    Handy for repelling Sonic Mouse, the evil twin brother of Danger Mouse.

    LOL! I’m rodent-phobic (though my sister isn’t, so yup, she’d have absolutely no use for this ;)) and I tried one of those sonic mouse-repellants years ago when they were first available. The mice didn’t mind it at all, it was me who couldn’t stand it! Maybe I need to get my DNA checked or something…
