The modular pest trap assembly of the present application includes a modular relatively planar structure that is configured to be adaptable for different methods and areas of a structure for the capture of pests. The assembly includes a main body with a first face and a second face. The modular structure also includes a flap and an edge trap member. An adhesive layer extends across a portion of a singular face of the modular structure. A detachable film cover lays across the adhesive layer to permit handling without contact of the adhesive layer. The flap extends outward from the main body so as to assist in attaching the main body to a corner for creation of a void space.

A Glue Tube for trapping moles and other rodents is designed to form its own packaging. In this case, a glue tube package is formed by a sturdy cardboard tube with a non-drying biodegradable adhesive applied to the inner diameter walls. Protective end caps are inserted into each open end to protect the adhesive and the user until time of use. No outer packaging is required. To use, the end caps are removed and, the tube is inserted into an underground tunnel created by a rodent. The tube is inserted underground aligning with the existing path while the adhesive inner surface is exposed for rodents entering or traversing the length of the tube. Complete coverage of the inner lining with glue increases its effectiveness in trapping rodents. Due to its use of biodegradable materials the Glue Tube can be left underground to naturally decompose and break down.

The present disclosure relates to a system for managing and monitoring a sensor network that senses pest activity. A plurality of sensor stations may be controlled by the system, such sensor station configured for detecting the presence of pests at a baiting station, or for alerting users to the presence of a pest in a trap, as well as a related system of data collection and data management of pest activity data.

The invention relates to methods of trapping a pest, said method comprising providing ferromagnetic particles for ingestion by the pest, and trapping the pest using one or more magnets, wherein a trapped pest has ingested and internally accumulated an amount of the ferromagnetic particles sufficient to permit immobilization of the pest using said one or more magnets. Devices for use with the methods of the instant invention are also disclosed.

An animal trap includes: a bait, a support, and an elastic band, wherein in a set state the support supports the elastic band in an expanded state, and wherein removal, consumption or destruction of the bait by an animal: causes the elastic band to contract around the animal to kill the animal; or causes the elastic band to drive a kill mechanism to kill the animal. Animal traps may be formed substantially or entirely of biodegradable materials. Animal traps may be adapted for aerial distribution. A trap dispenser may dispense traps as they are triggered.

A reuseable glue board tray to be fitted with a glue board to form a glue board trap for rodent and other pests, and a glue trap having a reusable glue board tray with refillable glue boards, are provided. The side walls of the tray have a slanted lip sloped at an angle of preferably about 45 to the horizontal with the low side of the slope being on the outside edge of the tray to encourage pest interaction with the glue board by eliminating barriers between the glue board and the surface on which the tray rests. In addition, at least one of the side walls does not have a lip to facilitate replacement of the glue board through the lipless side while further facilitating easy entry of pests. Finger access cutouts are provided in the side walls of the tray that allow the user to lift the tray without touching the glue board, and two opposing sides of the tray have inwardly extending tabs that lap over the adjacent outer edges of the glue board to prevent the board from falling out of the tray unintentionally. The configuration of the tabs and/or side walls enables a plurality of trays to be nested together to form a compact stack of trays.

A remote notification electronic rodent trapping system and method is provided having a plurality of rearming electronic rodent trapping devices configured to wirelessly communicate trap information to a base station that is in communication with a cloud server. When a trap is activated by a rodent trigger it changes from a set state to a kill alert state and initiates a killing cycle. The trap waits a first time period and then sends a notification signal to the base station of trap activation which the base station forwards to the cloud server. The cloud server waits a second predetermined time period before sending a pushed notification to a remote user of the trap's kill alert state. If the trap rearms prior to expiration of the second time period, it alerts the base station which notifies the cloud server. The cloud server updates trap status to the set state and does not send a notification to the user.
