Is the Rat Zapper safe around pets and children?
Although you must use caution around any device, which generates a high voltage, the Rat Zapper is a safe alternative compared to standard rat traps, glue boards, and poison. The Rat Zapper is difficult for a child or a pet to trigger it. If a child or pet was able to trigger the Rat Zapper, the voltage will cause their muscles to contract, forcing them to pull their arm or paw away from the Rat Zapper. Finally, the amount of energy produced by the Rat Zapper is intentionally limited by use of batteries and circuit design. By limiting the energy produced, we have virtually eliminated the possibility of an injury occurring from the Rat Zapper.
