A rodent trap for catching rodents a housing. The rodent trap further has a top cover with a plurality of inside walls and at least one inside wall comprises a tab. The rodent trap also has a bottom base with a plurality of inside walls and at least one inside wall there is an opening that aligns with the at least one inside wall of the top cover that comprises the tab. Further, the bottom base has a tunnel adjacent a poison cavity, and the tunnel has an opening configured for allowing the rodents to travel from the tunnel to the poison cavity. Also, the poison cavity has at least one structure for retaining poison and configured for the rodent to eat the poison and die either in the housing or outside the housing.

An animal trap sensor includes a base having a distal end and a proximal end, a switch having a first metallic element and a second metallic element, and a signal unit, in which, when the first metallic element contacting the second metallic element, thereby forming a closed circuit, such that the signal unit transmits a signal to an off-site receiver. Or, an animal trap sensor includes a first portion and a second portion electrically connected with a signal unit including a power supply, in which, when the first and the second portions are disposed at a first distance between each other, thereby generating an output property, in which, when the first and the second portions are disposed at a second distance between each other, which is different from the first distance, thereby changing the output property and causing the signal unit to transmit a signal to an off-site receiver.

A live catch trap having a light-based sensor mounted therein and remote communication capability. The light-based sensor may be a visual image device such as a CMOS or CCD camera that evaluates the status of the trap interior for the presence of insects and/or rodents. The camera may be activated to check the trap interior either periodically or in response to an event as detected by one or more sensors such as a motion detector, accelerometer, pressure sensor and/or temperature sensor. Alternatively, the trap may include a reflectivity sensor or a photo sensor including arrays of LEDs and photodiodes. The trap includes a microprocessor that evaluates the data collected by the light-based sensor to determine what type of activity has been sensed and then reports this information wirelessly to a remote user.

A video monitoring apparatus for assessing marine diversity includes a support frame, one or more cameras mounted on the support frame for recording images, and a bait receptacle mounted on the support frame for holding bait. The bait receptacle is adapted to release bait therefrom when the support frame comes to rest on a surface.

Animal sensing systems and methods are described. An animal sensing system can include an input section with an entrance and an output section having at least two output paths each having its own exit. An animal can enter the animal sensing system through the entrance. A sensor within a sensing area of the input section can detect one or more characteristics of the animal, and can communicate the detected characteristic(s) to a central processing unit. The central processing unit can use the received data to classify the animal based on the detected characteristic(s), and then control a directional guide, such as a gate, in the animal sensing system on the basis of the classification, so as to direct the animal within the animal sensing system, such as to allow access to only one of the output paths at a time. The animal may thus be allowed to exit the animal sensing system through only one output path, directing the animal to a desired location based on the classification.

The instant disclosure provides an ability to use an array of data inputs to enter a network and thereby provide a realtime improvable database. The present invention is novel in its ability to maximize the customer's interface with a pest control system, thus allowing for maximum efficiency for current and future designs as well as a high level of compatibility with ancillary regulatory, financial and planning type functions.

An animal relocation system and method comprising a perimeter net system a trapping net system, and a flushing device, wherein the flushing device channels the animal through the perimeter net system and into the trapping net.

The enclosure and the drawer having openings that form a passage for a mouse to reach into the drawer. The drawer having a sheet of sticky material that holds the mouse in the drawer, wherein the drawer having the immobilized mouse can be withdrawn from the enclosure for disposing of the mouse.
