RatMat Keeps Rodents Off Equipment
We’ve seen a lot of different ideas for keeping mice and rats out of stored equipment but this one may take the cake. Invented by Tony Bateson and now on the market, the idea is deceptively simple.
    The RatMat is an electrified mat of interlocking metal grids that shocks rodents if they step onto it. The idea is to park each wheel of a car, truck, combine or other equipment on a mat. Because the mats lie flat to the floor and are made of durable, hard-surfaced materials, the inventor says they will hold up in tough shop or garage conditions.
    The metal grids rest on plastic mats that insulate them from the floor. The grids come in separate tiles that can be added as needed, depending on the size of the tires. (www.hammertechltd.com or http://killgerm.com/)
