An animal trap features entrance encouraging mechanism for urging an animal into an enclosure of the trap. The mechanism features a pushing unit pivotally supported outside the interior space of the enclosure adjacent an access-way that opens into same. The pushing unit is pivotal about an axis generally parallel to a plane of the access-way for movement between a withdrawn position in which the access-way is unobstructed and a working position in which the pushing unit substantially obstructs the access-way. An actuator coupled to the pushing unit is triggered by an animal detection device at an approach area outside the enclosure within a travel path followed by the pushing unit, whereby the pushing unit urges the animal toward and through the access-way into the interior space of the enclosure. A one way gate prevents exit of the trapped animal after return of the pushing unit to the withdrawn position.

An animal trap apparatus having a collection of individual components is mounted onto a rim of a bucket and comprises a plank having a bait receiving end and a mounting end, with a fulcrum feature therebetween. The fulcrum feature may have a non-circular cross section. A bracket with a notch is received by the rim of the bucket while a receiving feature having an occluded open end is configured to receive the fulcrum feature. In use, the plank is configured to pivot about the fulcrum feature in a forward direction when an animal approaches the bait receiving end thereby placing the animal trap apparatus in a tripped condition whereby the bait receiving extends downwardly toward the closed bottom of the bucket and the animal falls into the cavity. The individual components may be formed of a food-grade material.

A rodent capturing system includes a bucket that may be positioned on a support surface. A fluid is contained in the bucket and the fluid is comprised of a toxic material with respect to rodents. A pair of ramps is provided and each of the ramps extends between the bucket and the support surface thereby facilitating a rodent to climb the ramps. A lure is rotatably coupled to the bucket. The rodent climbs on the lure thereby facilitating the lure to drop the rodent into the fluid. In this way the fluid kills the rodent.

A rodent trap includes a hollow tube supported through an axle with each opposing end of the axle secured within opposite diameter ends of a bucket opening. A bait is secured about the tube and a liquid is placed within the bucket. The trap is configured to entice a mouse or similarly sized animal onto the tube by means of the bait. Upon traversing the tube to obtain the bait, the tube freely spins depositing the mouse or animal into the liquid contained in the bucket, drowning the mouse or animal therein.

A rodent trap with a containment chamber which allow the capture, counting, containment and reporting of captured rodents such as rats or mice. The electromechanical trap has at least three main components, a microcontroller with memory, a sensor or switch, a stepping motor, an LCD display, and a cellular radio with one or more antenas. As the rodent influences a sensor by way of movement or pressure which causes a change in continuity of the circuit, a microcontroller is awakened from a sleep mode and actuates the rotation of a stepper motor, revolving a trap door to move the rodent to the containment location, count the capture, and report the count digitally.

The invention refers to an animal trap, in particular a rat or mouse trap, comprising a catching device (M2) with a one-way segment and at least one killing device (M3, M6), in which a caught animal (T) can be killed, and that has an outlet area positioned downstream of a killing device through which the animal can be released from the animal trap.
