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.

The invention relates to methods of trapping a pest, said method comprising providing ferromagnetic particles for ingestion by the pest, and trapping the pest using one or more magnets, wherein a trapped pest has ingested and internally accumulated an amount of the ferromagnetic particles sufficient to permit immobilization of the pest using said one or more magnets. Devices for use with the methods of the instant invention are also disclosed.

An animal trap includes an outer member, an inner member, a resilient member, a bottom portion, and a trigger. The outer member has a first lower end and a first upper end, and defines a first cavity. The inner member has a second lower end and a second upper end, and defines a second cavity. At least a portion of the inner member is positioned within the first cavity of the outer member. The inner member is slidably repositionable relative to the outer member between a cocked position and a deployed position. The resilient member is positioned to bias the inner member into the deployed position. The bottom portion is coupled to the first lower end of the outer member. At least one of the bottom portion and the first lower end of the outer member define a passage. The trigger assembly is positioned to selectively hold the inner member in the cocked position.

An enclosure-type mouse trap having a compact footprint with a curved or U-shaped mouse pathway leading to a guillotine killing mechanism is provided. The trap has a bottom assembly, a top assembly, and a removable disposal door. The bottom assembly includes a pivoting link element operatively engaged with the top and bottom assemblies to set the trap and control the position of an entrance door that provides access to the trap interior.

A pest detection and notification system includes one or more pest monitors and notification badges or cards. Both the pest monitors and the notification badges are capable of short-range wireless communication. Upon detection of presence of a pest, a pest monitor generates and transmits a wireless pest event message. Any notification badge present within the transmission area of the pest monitor will receive the pest event message. Each notification badge includes one or more pest event indicators, such as an audible indicator, a visible indicator, and/or a vibration motor. Upon receipt of the pest event message, the notification badge activates one or more of the pest event indicators, thus notifying the wearer that a pest presence within the transmission area has been detected.
