Systems and methods for molecule dispensing
A portable, heated scent, odor, and/or molecule dispense system is provided, as well as devices and methods for doing the same. The portable systems and methods to dispense molecules may contain a liquid, gel, solid, foam, or other material-based formulation so as to attract, repel, kill, mask, or otherwise use the molecules. The portable system and methods may include a housing; a molecule holding pad in the housing; a first chemical reaction heat source in the housing; and a second chemical reaction heat source in the housing, wherein the molecule holding pad is arranged between the first chemical reaction heat source and the second chemical reaction heat source, and wherein the first chemical reaction heat source and the second chemical reaction heat source are each reactive to oxygen.
Device for dispensing pesticides and/or parasiticides to rodents or other animals
A device for enclosing treated material impregnated with a pesticide and/or parasiticide and adapted for access by rodents or other targeted small animals includes a shell forming an enclosure to contain the treated material. The shell includes at least one entrance opening for accessing the enclosed treated material. Each entrance opening has a width less than a maximum inner width of the shell. The device may be formed completely of biodegradable material.
PEST MONITORING SYSTEM WITH CONDUCTIVE ELECTRODES
A pest monitoring system generally includes a circuit, wherein the circuit is initially in a first impedance state that is configured to change to a second impedance state due to pest activity, wherein the second impedance state is lower than the first impedance state.
PEST TRAPS
A pest trap comprising a main body. A first chamber connected to the main body has an opening arranged to allow a pest to enter the first chamber, there being a movable closure to the opening of the first chamber. A second chamber connected to the main body also has an opening arranged to allow a pest to enter the second chamber, again there being a movable closure to the opening of the second chamber. The pest trap is arranged, in response to a sensor mechanism detecting the presence of a pest in the first or second chamber, to close the movable closure to the opening of the first or second chamber, and to activate a kill mechanism to release a fluid into the first or second chamber to kill the pest.

Electronic bait station monitoring system
A bait station having an enclosed housing defining an internal volume is disclosed, wherein the internal volume is divided by a partition wall defining a main chamber and an electronics compartment. The electronics compartment has a wireless communication module including a computer processor and transceiver. The main chamber has a single access for a targeted type of pest and a bait access door. A bait platform is located within the main chamber, and a bait monitoring sensor is also located within the main chamber. The bait monitoring sensor is communicatively coupled with the wireless communication module.
Bait Composition
Disclosed herein are embodiments of a feral hog control system including bait comprising a carrier material and an amount of warfarin, wherein the amount of warfarin is not greater than about 0.01% by weight of the bait. Further disclosed herein are embodiments of a selective access device for permitting selective access to the bait when the bait is disposed within a feeder.
Bait station system
A tamper-proof bait station includes a container having a base and a lid that provides access to an interior that stores a poison bait that is consumed by pests. The base is securable to an external support member that supports the container above a ground surface. The support has an interior that is able to receive a weighted material to restrict movement of the container. A locking cap is provided that locks the lid to the base and is only removably upon applying axial or side pressure to the locking cap.

Liquid dispenser
A liquid dispenser is described, having a tank configured to deliver and present a liquid in a drink basin within a tray base. The liquid may be a liquid bait for population control of small animals. To reduce evaporation and liquid waste, the tray base may be partially covered by a tray top. A spill basin may surround the drink basin, and may be configured so that tilting or inverting the liquid dispenser drains a liquid from the spill basin and drink basin back into the tank.
