I have a thread (Do Any Members Have Skill or Experience With Arduino; Coding for Microcontrollers) about rats. I also have some serious experience with the fuckers.
- Have you identified what the potential animal is for sure? 100%? Have you seen one/them? Or rat shit?
I had/have been dealing with them for about 4+ years now. One of the best tools I got was cameras. As far as exterminating tools, I’ve tried almost all of them, and am willing to answer any questions or give suggestions. I have literally hundreds of videos/footage of them and their behavior. I’ve sent dozens and dozens to meet their maker. I studied this/them like I was in school a while back, haha.
Note:
@FieldEffect Was very helpful trying to assist me in getting a/my arduino trap going, but I just lack the requisite coding skills and time to improved. I spent so much time on that.
In the end, he was going to help me with having some little boards made (outsourced) and with the code for them. But just didn’t have time in the end (wife, kids/school, work, garden projects, etc.).
I say that to say this, I think about this trap almost every day - every week for sure. And I still want it done, and I’d gladly pay for it (if you’re reading this, @FieldEffect), or donate something nice to the forum maybe? Whatever.
So, if you wanna chip in, @OG619, maybe we can get someone with the engineering skills to help.
Sorry if vague, check my thread. Well over $1000 in traps, and various other bits of kit.
EDIT: I saw the word “rat” in your thread title, randomly, and…well, it triggered something inside me. PTSD. I see them on camera almost every night.
