Hi everybody, I'm not very tech-minded, so bear with me. I hope to be starting a regular blog where I will upload photos and tips. I'm trying to wean myself off social media pages as they drive me crazy: I've got this website so I may as well use it.
My first post features the RatMat. The RatMat is a non-lethal electronic barrier to protect your vehicle, garage, or warehouse from (the clue is in the name) rats, as well as mice, and pine martins, who may enjoy your car, camper van or industrial vehicle almost as much as you do. Not only do your vehicles make great homes, but they also provide plenty of material to chew on, such as the upholstery and wiring looms, which will likely require expensive repairs.
For brevity, I will refer just to 'rats' from this point, but it applies to other soft-pawed animals.
How does the RatMat work? Simply surround your vehicle with RatMat, or run a strip of RatMat across an access or entrance, connect it to power via a transformer (it runs at very low wattage) and rats soon learn that they belong on the outside of it: they will not cross it. Rats in particular, being social animals, spread the word, and then the whole colony knows to avoid it.
What about hoofed animals, poultry, or humans, you may wonder? Hoofed animals and poultry are not affected, and neither are people as long as they are not barefoot.
When you want to use your vehicle there is no need to disconnect it, or create a break in the mat to escape, as it is very robust and designed to be driven over, whether it's a car, tractor, campervan, or forklift truck.
I bought a RatMat to protect my motorbike: no rats have taken it for a spin without my permission since.
For more info regarding its availability in France, please do not hesitate to contact me.
