A rat attractant composition is disclosed which includes one or more isolated additives. The composition is attractive to at least rats of the species Rattus norvegicus. Devices including the rat attractant composition and methods of using a rat attractant composition are also disclosed.

A hunting and fishing gear includes a haft (1), a harpoon body (2) extending in a longitudinal direction of the haft (1) from one end of the haft (1), and a plurality of harpoon tips (3) extending in a lateral direction Y from one side portion of the harpoon body (2) in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction X of the harpoon body (2), and a barb (5) or a come-off prevention section (11; 12) provided to protrude into a space part (4) from at least one of the harpoon tips (3) located in the space part (4). Therefore, when a person grips a handle (7) with the person's hand (17) to use the hunting and fishing gear by swinging it in the direction of an arrow Z, the plurality of harpoon tips easily pierce a prey.

A dart delivery apparatus including a handle, trigger, barrel, and frame comprising a dart chamber, a pressure control apparatus including a gas source port, an adjustable pressure control apparatus chamber, a gun port configured to attach to the frame, an expansion chamber, an adjustable pressure regulator configured to be actuated by a user to permit pressurized gas to flow from the gas source port, through the pressure control apparatus chamber, and into the gun port and the expansion chamber, and a shot volume modification apparatus configured to change the volume of the expansion chamber into which pressurized gas may expand.

This document describes techniques and devices capable of disabling or killing hard-bodied insects, including wasps and hornets, to two, three, or even four or more feet. In some cases, the techniques and devices use an existing pressurized-air device, such as a CO2-powered rifle or pistol, either intended for BBs or pellets, in .177, .20, .22, .25 and so forth calibers. Other pressurized-air devices can also be used, such a PCP (pre-charged pneumatic), spring, gas piston, single and multi-pump pneumatic, electric-motor-powered spring-piston, and similar pressurized-air devices.

An insect eradication device is disclosed having a projectile shooting assembly and a grip detachably coupled to the projectile shooting assembly. The grip includes a ring shaped holding portion having an aperture, the holding portion engages with an external circular lip on a rear side of the projectile shooting assembly, when the projectile shooting is inserted therein from a front side of the grip. A generally Y shaped locking member is fitted on the grip and locks the projectile shooting assembly in position. The grip has an inner hollow that is used to store projectiles used in the projectile shooting. The projectile shooting assembly is generally round in shape and is provided with a projection pouch that extends towards rear for a user to pull and release on which the projectiles are expelled from a nozzle on a front side of the shooting assembly.

An improved loading mechanism bug killing gun includes a compressed gas source fluidly connected to a chamber connected to a barrel. A compressed gas release mechanism is connected to the compressed gas source. A projectile storage magazine stores particulate projectiles and is located adjacent the chamber. A projectile loading mechanism moves the projectiles into the chamber from the magazine. A cocking mechanism is mechanically connected to the compressed gas source, the compressed gas release mechanism, and the projectile loading mechanism. When the gun is cocked, the projectile loading mechanism loads a quantity of the projectiles into the chamber. When the compressed gas release mechanism is activated the projectiles are ejected from the chamber into the barrel and expelled from the gun. The gun optionally includes a laser sighting mechanism. The battery operated laser sighting mechanism is removably attached to the barrel or permanently attached with an integral, trigger operated switch.
