A humane trap that quickly dispatches mice and rats

NEWS – Let me begin by saying I do not like wild rats. They are filthy creatures that spread germs and disease, not to mention the damage they do to homes and farms. I have a separate studio building in my one acre backyard where I review and test audio gear as well as do freelance design. Unfortunately, half of my studio is an open area where I store all of the lawn equipment. And that’s where mice and (sometimes) rats hang out. I have tried various traps with varied success and am on the prowl for a trap that is consistently reliable and works well.

Recently, I came across this: the Goodnature A24 self-resetting trap. According to Automatic Trap Company, their A24 self-resetting trap is the world’s only pest trap that self-resets itself, offering control for months without monitoring or resetting. This can create time savings in pest management. The introduction of Goodnature’s traps means people no longer need to use glue traps, ineffective snap traps or harmful poisons. Targeting rats and mice, this weather-proof trap kills up to 24 rodents without toxins or electricity, automatically resetting itself after each CO 2-powered shot. Simply mount it, let the trap work, and then toss the remains (or, if installed outdoors, let scavengers do that for you.

The A24 trap is an effective, year-round rodent-removal solution that’ll work just as well in your garage as it will in a backyard mounted to a tree.

The multi-kill system is certified humane and effectively eliminates invaders on the spot, spring traps, and poisons. You’ll never have to track down a wounded or sick rodent—or worse, smell it rotting somewhere in your home. All you’ll have to do is refill the CO 2 canister after 24 shots and replace the bait every 6 months. A waterproof digital strike counter is included and makes monitoring the trap easy, especially if it’s installed outdoors.

Introduced in New Zealand, Goodnature’s A24 trap kills rats according to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee (NAWAC) Guideline 09 and is certified humane. The Goodnature A24 self-resetting trap (with counter) sells for $199.99 and is available from Amazon. Visit www.automatictrap.com for more information.

The Dechoker is a plunger for humans

NEWS – Ok, I know that the title of this post is silly, but that’s what this product reminds me of. Seriously though, have you ever been in a situation where someone was choking or maybe you were choking on something and no one was around to help you.

Most people know that the standard way to help someone in a choking emergency is to apply the Heimlich maneuver which is an abdominal thrust that uses the air in the person’s lungs to expel whatever is lodged in their airway. But what if it doesn’t work or you are all alone and can’t do that maneuver to yourself?

The Dechoker was invented just for those reasons and features a face mask and a plunger that uses suction to dislodge the blockage from the person’s airway. The Dechoker is available in sizes for infants, children, and adults and is priced at $79.95. Visit dechoker.com and Amazon for more info.

Rock ‘N Bowl slows down your dogs eating and makes mealtime fun

NEWS – If your dog has a tendency like mine does to inhale their food at feeding time, slowing them down can be a challenge. The Rock ’N Bowl Dog Feeder was designed to not only slow them down but to make mealtime a playful, engaging challenge.

Rock ’N Bowl is part food bowl, part puzzle. The top of the feeder has holes that allow some of the food to fall through into a compartment underneath. In order for your dog to get to the remaining food, they must nudge and rock the bowl to get it to fall out of the holes in the bottom. This not only helps slow and extend eating time but, it also helps to stimulate your pup’s mind.

It takes an everyday activity like food time and makes it more fun and challenging.

The bowl comes apart for easy cleaning and is even top rack dishwasher safe.

The Rock ’N Bowl Dog Feeder comes in two colors blue and orange. It sells for $19.95 and is available from The Grommet.
