I believe in a connected world, but this is ridiculous

This is a WiFi-enabled mouse trap with its own app.

And if that's not big enough, they also have a WiFi-enabled rat trap.

Should the question be "what the fuck does the world need that for? When I was a kid we had to go around checking mouse traps ourselves, and we LIKED it!" or "if you're going to build a $30 mouse trap that sends you an app alert when it catches a mouse, shouldn't there be a holding bin and a sweeper in it so you could catch a dozen mice before you had to get up and dump the thing?"

I've got one keeping my belly warm right now. Trapping mice is only one benefit. Shrike47 Jan 2019 #3
Assuming you have one that disposes of the whole mouse, that's always the best way jmowreader Jan 2019 #4

that either disposes of the mouse itself or delivers it to the homeowner for disposal. It can also double as a foot-warmer.

You COULD do it the old-fashioned way: get a dozen of those mousetraps. Mice will not come into a house with that many cats in it.
