Squirrels are invading
Specifically red squirrels; So...I want to cull the heard. Live traps and cats and rat traps and high speed projectiles are not working so well. I'd like to make an electrocution station. Sounds bad but better than having them drown in a bucket (that doesn't work either).
Any one that might have ideas I'd love to hear. My idea has been proven not good enough, 120vac isn't enough to kill unless they stay in contact. |

Build a voltage multiplier to boost the voltage.

A transformer? or capacitor? I'd need a circuit and values...
I see good examples online, but no one seems to say what components to use. |

My main problem is that they are taking liberties under the hood of our cars.
If I knew how to prepare walnut shells for media blasting, I would take over the food supply and they would just go away!! |
