A mechanical trap includes an ultra light carbon fiber hollow tube roller on a pairs of pillow block bearings and adapters. It can be easily mounted on top of a water container. Bait is placed in the middle section of the roller. When a mouse or a rat climbs on the roller and try to reach and eat bait, the ultra sensitive roller will become unstable, self-triggered and start rolling. The mouse or rat will quickly lose balance and then fall into water container underneath. Water depth in the container will determine whether the mouse or rat will be captured alive or killed from drowning. The trap can have an adapter and adjustable length to universally fit different kinds of water container of different sizes. It can quickly trap or kill multiple different sizes of mice and rats. It is simple, low-cost, easy to operate, durable and environmental friendly.

A selective access system, and methods of making and using such a selective access system, whereby the selective access system includes a container including an interior space defined by a side wall disposed between opposing top and bottom walls; an opening disposed within the side wall, the opening communicating with the interior space; a cover slidably engaged with the container, the cover configured to slide upward and downward between a first position and a second position; whereby in the first position, the cover overlays the opening; and whereby in the second position, the cover disposes away from at least a portion of the opening to permit access to the interior space; and a force generator coupled to the cover, the force generator generating a pre-selected force amount which when unopposed, provides the first position of the cover.

A snake trap having three (3) doors, the top door for inspection, and two side doors to expose or seal trap openings for targeted and non-targeted animals to travel in and out of device, therein the cavity of the device a heating source and nesting area for the targeted animal.

A mouse trap for use with a bucket having an upper rim, a side wall, and a bottom edge includes a top portion having a ledge for seating adjacent or over the upper rim of the bucket and a spiral ramp coupled to an outer edge of the top portion. The top portion has an opening with a movable roller disposed across the opening and the ledge substantially surrounds the opening of the top portion. The spiral ramp when in use extends down the side wall of the bucket from an area near or at the upper rim of the bucket to the bottom edge of the bucket.

The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for holding bait (2), in particular bait for rodents, comprising: a housing part (3) that can be inserted into a manhole, in particular a sewer manhole or a cable duct manhole, at least one bait platform (8) arranged in the housing part (3), delimiting at least one passage opening (9) on the bait platform side, through which a rodent can gain access to bait (2) arranged in the housing part (3).

The bird trapping device includes a potter trap that is mounted atop of a telescoping stand. The telescoping stand enables a height of the potter trap to be adjusted. The potter trap is able to rotate about a vertical axis atop of the telescoping stand. The potter trap includes at least one food bowl therein and/or at least one water bowl. A treadle mechanism is included in the potter trap, and upon activation shall close a door thereby capturing a bird that happens to enter the potter trap. A flag is connected to the door, and rotates to a vertical orientation once the door closes the potter trap. The telescoping stand may include wheels to mobilize the bird trapping device. Optionally, the telescoping stand includes a gearing member that is able to raise and lower the potter trap.

A rodent trap having a remote arming capability and a method of deploying a rodent trap in an unarmed state and then arming the trap after a wait period without the user having to again physically access the trap is provided. The trap, preferably embodied as an electronic rodent trap, may be configured with wireless remote arming capability, timed arming functionality, activity based arming and the like. When in the unarmed state, the trap operates in a monitoring mode in which the trap can monitor and evaluate activity and/or interactions with the trap and can send and receive wireless communication signals.

A waterfowl capturing assembly and system includes a bracket is removably attachable to a watercraft. A frame is attached to the bracket and extends forwardly therefrom. The frame includes a receiving space having a receiving opening directed forward of the base. A panel is positioned on the frame and forms a scoop extending across the receiving space. The panel is used to capture and hold waterfowl floating on a body of water such that the watercraft can be used to retrieve the waterfowl.

Systems, devices, and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide a rodent extermination system for efficient rodent population control. An example rodent extermination system includes a vacuum unit configured to generate suction and an extermination chamber. The extermination chamber defines a first end attached to and in fluid communication with the vacuum unit and a second end in fluid communication with an external environment. The system also includes at least one presence sensor and at least two electrocution plates. The at least two electrocution plates are electrified such that the rodent is electrocuted via contact with the electrocution plates, and the vacuum unit generates suction such that the rodent is moved through the extermination chamber. The vacuum unit may comprise a kill plate into which the rodent is ejected at high velocity in order to induce cervical dislocation or blunt force trauma to the rodent.

A motion sensing nuisance fauna deterrent is provided for abating animal nuisances from disturbing a target flora. A sensing platform having a fixed base portion provides a stationary support platform. A rotating base platform has proximity detection sensors positioned about a periphery for proving non-contact proximity sensing capable of detecting a nuisance animal. A speaker provides an audible output in response to an actuation initiated the proximity sensors. A decoy secured to the platform is in the form of a canine. By placing at a detection perimeter and directed outward, an approach of a nuisance animal initiates an audible alarm to deter the approach of the nuisance animal with a non-lethal effect. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
