    摘要: A bait scale device (2) and a remote monitoring device (16) are provided. The bait scale device (2) comprises a bait holder (4) for receiving a bait product: an electronic weighing unit (7): a power source (9) providing electric power: a timing device (11.1) and signaling means (11.1, 12). The electronic weighing unit (7) is configured to measure the weight of the bait held by the bait holder (4) and the timing device (11.1) is configured to activate the power source (9) and trigger a weight measurement by the electronic weighing unit (7) in predetermined time intervals. The signaling means (11.1, 12) are configured to generate a signal (17) corresponding to the measured weight and transmit said signal (17) to a remote monitoring device (16). The remote monitoring device (16) is configured to receive signals (17) corresponding to a measured weight from said bait scale device (2).

    摘要: A rodent trap including a housing, an inner channel, a spring-loaded killing mechanism including at least one spring and at least one striker plate, a reloader, a trigger mechanism, and a bait. The housing includes an opening into the inner channel and one or more sensors arranged at/in the inner channel and/or the opening for triggering the trigger mechanism if a rodent is detected. The striker plate is configured to move between two positions by means of the spring, a first position in which at least a part of the striker plate is arranged at a first side of the inner channel and/or opening leaving the inner channel and/or opening open for passage.

    摘要: A strike trap is disclosed with improved reliability and ease of setting. In a preferred configuration the improved trap is in the form of a tunnel or tube trap. In a preferred embodiment the strike bar moves upward from a low position to strike against an interior wall or equivalent structure of the tube. The strike bar is set by pressing it downward to become automatically latched near a floor or bottom of the tube. With the downward set action a single hand or foot can provide the set motion wherein the ground or other support surface exclusively provides a reaction force. A two stage retention system provides reliable low force, low travel trip action. The strike bar therefore can pivot adjacent to a wall with the bar extending away there from. This compact arrangement ensures the tube entrances in the tube embodiment are adjacent to the wall.

    摘要: A smart micro-mouse trap is disclosed herein which can be used to trap and kill the mouse, rat, rodent, etc. instantly. The embodiment comprises an enclosure for the mouse, a beam to detect the mouse, a trap, a latch and a solenoid powered by an electrical circuit to activate the tripping mechanism as the mouse enters the trap and breaks the beam. The smart micro-mouse trap is advantageous and useful as it is inexpensive, easy to operate, durable and allows for sanitary disposal of the dead mice, rats, rodents without contact to human.

    摘要: A rodent trap and a system or network of such traps. The trap is a spring-loaded strike rat trap including at least one spring, a housing, at least one striker bar, at least one arming bar, at least one trigger plate and at least one trigger. The spring is configured for biasing the bars moving them from one position, where the arming bar and trigger plate is releasably held by the trigger and in contact with a ready indicator to indicate that the spring-loaded strike trap is armed, into at least one other position where the movement of each bar is stopped, after the spring-loaded strike trap has been triggered releasing the bars.

    摘要: A rodent trap includes a base, a strike member, a biasing member, and a trigger. The base defines a base interior and an opening. The strike member is movably coupled to the base for linear travel between an extended position and a retracted position. The strike member comprises a tunnel element extending through the opening of the base. The strike member defines an entryway that communicates with the base interior. The biasing member is coupled to the base and the strike member. The biasing member is configured to bias the strike member toward the retracted position. The trigger is movably coupled to the base. The trigger is configured to contact an outer surface of the strike member in the extended position. When the trigger dislodges from the outer surface of the strike member, the strike member linearly travels to the retracted position.

    摘要: A mechanical rodent trap has a jaw mounted to a base, with a trigger therebetween which is activated by the incidence of a rodent. An acceleration sensor is mounted in a case in the base in a sensor module that logs and transmit a signal indicating activation of the trap. Alternatively a magnet holder secures a magnet to the trigger, and a Hall effect sensor is used in the sensor module. The sensor modules are sealed within a compartment formed with the base beneath the trigger and closed by a cover.
