Rat Trap Sends SMS Message

UK pest control firm Rentokil has invented a rat trap that sends an SMS when one of the rodents gets caught. [via I4U.com]According to New Scientist. "Instead of someone having to make regular check of traps to see they if contain a dead rat or mouse, the novel trap sends out a text message to summon a pest controller. By ensuring the trap is emptied as soon as the animal is caught, it can be reset quickly, so ensuring more vermin are caught."
