System and methods for automated wildlife detection, monitoring and control

The present disclosure describes a system which is able to detect and recognize wildlife, and in particular birds, using camera images. The present solution is comprised of algorithms, software and integrated hardware devices. Properly equipped, the system can be made to be portable and can be set up at any location for different wildlife detection and repelling purposes.

Deer rub or lure
11576368 · 2023-02-14 ·

Provide herein is a deer rub or lure and a method of luring a deer to a selected area. The deer rub or lure has a trunk or signpost with at least one aperture extending therein. A flexible rod extends into at least one of the apertures. Each of the flexible rods extends from the trunk or signpost at an angle between 90° and 180°. A licking branch is attached to the flexible rod. A flexible support extends from a lower end of the trunk or signpost, and the support is configured to flexibly support the trunk or signpost in a substantially vertical orientation.

INTELLIGENT RODENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
20230042831 · 2023-02-09 ·

The present invention relates to an intelligent rodent management system which provide efficient, reliable, and effective system which traps the rodents or animals and manages disposal process from a remote location. The intelligent rodent management system is water resistant, which can effectively catch water borne rodents as well. The bait is placed on top part of the main body and the bait station is closed with a bait cap, the smell of the bait lures the animals from the entrance of the main body. The animals enter through the main body of the device wherein the door is operated through spring loaded mechanism. The intelligent rodent management system of present invention provides a collecting, communicating and analyzing system for received information about entry of animals and the data is stored on a cloud server through electronics hardware which consist of a modem and a processor.

Systems and Methods for Aerodynamic Delivery of an Animal Attractant
20230041677 · 2023-02-09 ·

The invention provides an improved finger-held sling and associated systems, kits, and methods of use for delivering an attractive scent to an area that is remotely located from a user. Advantageously, the invention creates little or no undesirable noise and does not necessitate introducing human scents into the delivery area. Kits of the invention are compact, lightweight, ready to use, and do not require the user to apply an attractant prior to use.

Self-arming electronic rodent trap and system and method for use thereof
11564385 · 2023-01-31 · ·

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. 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.

Methods and systems of pest management

This disclosure describes devices, systems, and methods associated with pest (e.g., rodent) management. An example of a pest-management apparatus includes a detector device having a housing, a magnetic switch coupled to the housing, and circuitry disposed within a cavity of the housing. The detector device is configured to be coupled to a trap having a base and a capture element pivotally coupled to the base such a portion of the capture element is biased toward a capture portion of the base. The circuitry is configured to detect operation of the trap based on a change in state of the magnetic switch responsive to a magnet coupled to the trap. In a particular implementation, the detector device is coupled to the trap via a platform. In another particular implementation, the detector device includes multiple magnetic switches and is configured to concurrently be coupled to multiple traps.

DEVICE FOR DRAGGING AN ANIMAL CARCASS
20230232816 · 2023-07-27 ·

A device and method for dragging an animal carcass. The device connects to the head and front hooves of the carcass so that they are lifted off the ground when the device is used to drag the carcass. The device may include a dowel for being journaled through each front leg and the nose of the carcass. The device further includes a handle assembly that engages the protruding opposing ends of the journaled dowel so that the method of using the device does not require the user to tie any knots.

Portable Scent Diffuser Device and Method of Use Thereof
20230232817 · 2023-07-27 ·

The present invention relates to a novel scent diffuser device for distributing attractant in desired areas as per preferences of a user for attracting deer or game. The device includes a bottle for storing a liquid attractant and is configured to be sealed by a lid. An internal hemp rope is affixed to an interior of the bottle and extends through the interior of the bottle to connect to the lid. A paracord is attached to the lid for hanging the lid on a fixed surface. When the lid is unscrewed, the bottle and the lid are connected through the hemp rope and the hemp rope absorbs the liquid attractant such that a scent is distributed or diffused from the hemp rope when the lid is unscrewed. The device keeps the liquid attractant inside the bottle when the lid or cap is secured to the bottle.

Scrape vines

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described which provide an artificial branch that is coupled to a natural tree. The artificial branch includes one or more adjustable wires that can be used to change the shape of the artificial branch. The artificial branch is structured to receive natural and/or synthetic scent compounds that are sprayed at the artificial branch. In addition, the artificial branch is structured to receive scent compounds from wildlife to facilitate wildlife scent communication.
