Honeybee swarm trap
A Honeybee Swarm Trap to provide an inexpensive but sturdy bee box for keeping bees that is flexible in its application. To propagate beehives a beekeeper commonly uses a swarm catcher. These swarm catchers are placed near existing beehives, typically those naturally occurring, a swarm trap may be placed near the location of original beehive. Scout bees can visit the swarm trap and assess the trap for a swarm or propagated swarm to take up residence. Once the honeybee swarm take up residence in the swarm trap, the beekeeper can move the swarm to another location to house the honeybee colony.
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.

Enclosed mouse trap
An enclosed mouse trap consists of a lid-shaped container, a bucket container, a tunnel-shaped bridge, and an outer container. The lid-shaped container has one or two planks with fulcrum fitted on the floor, and it allows mice to falls into the bucket container below. The lid-shaped container has one or two short tunnel-shaped entrances each fitted with a one-way swing door providing an entrance for mice to enter the lid-shape container. Each entrance of the lid-shaped container connects with the tunnel-shaped bridge which has the same one-way swing door fitted within. The outer container has three tunnel-shaped entrances each fitted with the same one-way swing door. The lid-shaped container, the bucket container, and the tunnel-shaped bridge are all fitted within the outer container

Bait apparatus for animal cage trap and method of baiting using the same
A live catch animal cage trap having a multi-use bait apparatus in a rear end of the trap is provided. The bait apparatus includes a base plate secured to the rear end of the trap and a cover. The base plate has a cutout that is operative with an opening in the wire mesh of the trap rear end to enable the user to reach into the trap interior through the aligned cutout and opening, while the cover closes the cutout and opening for use. The bait apparatus preferably also includes a removable receptacle having a side wall, an apertured front wall, and an open back. With the side wall and front wall being inserted through the cutout and opening, bait is placed into the receptacle through the open back which is then blocked by closing the cover to enclose the bait while allowing the scent thereof to escape through the apertured front wall to attract a target animal to be trapped. The cover may be further provided with apertures to increase bait odor dissemination.

Live catch rodent trap
A live catch rodent trap comprises a housing, an entry door, a release or exit door, and a latch assembly. The housing defines a first or entry opening, and a second or release opening. The entry door selectively covers the first opening, enabling a rodent to enter an interior of the trap and to be captured therewithin. The release door is pivotally attached to the housing. The release door is, in response to actuation by a user, movable between a closed position covering the second opening, and a release position at least partially uncovering the second opening and permitting a rodent to exit the interior of the trap. The latch assembly selectively secures the release door in the closed position, and includes an actuator adapted to be engaged or biased by a user for releasing the latch assembly from a latched state.

Single-handed trap
An animal trap for safely trapping animals that may be safely set with a single hand. The trap has a frame with an opening and a pair of doors that are pivotally affixed to the frame adjacent to the opening. The doors are movable between an open and closed position. A rotating assembly is connected to each door through a corresponding linkage that are pivotally connected to the rotating assembly and one of the doors. The rotating assembly is rotatably affixed to the frame and rotatable between a set position and a tripped position about an axis. A spring biases one of the doors toward its closed position and when the rotating assembly is in its set position. A trigger mechanism is pivotally affixed to the frame and has a set position and a tripped position, rotating the trigger mechanism will trip the trap.
