A method and apparatus for electrocution and disposal of pests includes a reusable power source 30 and a low cost disposable container 10. The reusable power source 30 includes batteries and a circuit to provide a high voltage and low current signal through external leads 34 to the disposable container 10, to electrocute small pests without presenting a risk to humans or pets. The disposable container 10 is constructed from low cost material, for example, cardboard, and may be packaged for sale in a flat folded state, and easily configured into a container 10 with a floor 10e including conducting surfaces 14a, 14b, and 14c connected to the external leads 34. In one embodiment, the conducting surfaces 14a, 14b, and 14c are formed of a conducting material formed or glued on the floor 10e of the disposable container 10 and the conducting material further forms internal leads 25a, 25b, and 25c reaching to a male connector 24 surface configured to cooperate with a female connector 36 of the external leads 34. |
