A bait container that is attached to inside of a trap, the bait container having a sidewall that forms an enclosure along with a cover that may open and close, a first connector that connects the cover to a door on the trap and a second connector that has some elasticity and that connects the cover to a lower or bottom portion of the container or the trap, the second connector securing the cover in a closed position when the trap door is closed and the first connector opening the cover when the trap is open such that the cover to the bait container is opened or closed as a user opens and closes the door to the trap.

An electric rodent trap includes bait attracting rodents to climb entry ramps reaching up to entries, and a high voltage grid in a housing bottom portion to euthanize the rodents. The entries may include interior ramps sloping down and into the trap and the ramps may include a low voltage grid to stun the rodents causing them to stumble into the trap while remaining alive. A manual switch is later activated to energize the high voltage grid in the housing bottom portion to euthanize the rodents, and the dead rodents are removed.

A trap for capturing a plurality of animals is provided. The trap can comprise an enclosure having an opening through which the at least one animal can pass to enter the enclosure. A gate, movable between an open position and a closed position, is positioned therein the at least one opening and can be selectively moved from the open position to the closed position when desired. Methods are also provided for capturing at least one animal by providing a trap with a gate, positioning the gate in an open position, monitoring the trap until at least one animal has entered the trap, and remotely triggering the gate to move from the open position to a closed position.

Rat attractant compositions attractive to the rat species Rattus norvegicus are disclosed, which compositions are constituted of compounds found in the headspace volatiles of male urine odor or female urine odor. Said compositions are respectively termed male pheromone blend (MPB) and comprises 2-heptanone, 4-heptanone, 3-ethyl-2-heptanone, 2-octanone, 2-nonanone, and 4-nonanone in a ratio of 10:100:10:1:1:10 respectively, or female pheromone blend (FPB) and comprises 2-methyl-butyric acid, 3-methyl-butyric acid, heptanal, hexanoic acid, 2-phenylacetaldehyde, nonanal, and decanal in a ratio of 20:20:10:30:5:20:10. Devices including the rat attractant compositions, and methods of using said rat attractant compositions, are also disclosed.

An animal live trap assembly includes a housing that has an entry way extending therein. The housing is positionable in an area known to be occupied by small animals such that the entry way is accessible to the small animals. A door is hingedly coupled to the housing and the door is positionable between an open position or a closed position for alternatively opening or closing the entry way. A plate is hingedly positioned within the housing and the small animal stands on the plate when the small animal enters the housing. A release is movably coupled to the door for retaining the door in the open position. The release is urged into an unlocking position when the small animal stands on the plate thereby facilitating the door to be positioned in the closed position to trap the small animal in the housing.

The present invention discloses an electric mouse killer, comprising an electric mouse killer main body and an electric mouse compartment, wherein the electric mouse killer main body comprises a housing, a circuit board, a battery, a high-voltage pack and a high-voltage contact piece, the electric mouse compartment comprises a compartment body and a high-voltage conductive medium, and a plug-in port of the compartment body is connected to a plug-in end of the housing.
