DIY Electric Shocking Mouse/Rat Trap

[Alexpennisi]

Not sure but I'm perplex about your electrical trap.
Rats are warned of danger by human smell or rats' pee. When they die (if the agony is long enough), they let out a drop of piss to alert their friends of danger.
With electrical shock, I think that it's a physical reflex that will let it out.
But maybe, when it's volonteer, they let some special fragrant to precise the message, what they couldn't do with electrical shock.

I put down wooden a4 plates covered with glue in front of the main door. Mice jusr get stuck and die. There can be as many as 5 or 6 in a couple of days. No urine or the sight of dying mice stop the other mice finish in the same way.
