Pest control systems and methods are described. The systems comprise a portable electronic device which is configured to identify one or more of multiple PCDs within a range of a portable electric device which have been activated, and to provide an indication to a user corresponding to at least one of the identified activated PCDs.

A rodent monitoring or killing mechanism includes a housing body having a resistive sensor and a wash down sensor operatively coupled to the resistive sensor. The wash down sensor distinguishes between the presence of water within the housing body and the presence of a rodent according to at least one measurement of resistance from the resistive sensor. The at least one measurement of resistance is created by contact of the resistance sensor with the water or the rodent.

A pest enticement enclosure (10) reduces stress responses of target pest animals (122) in vicinity to a pest control system (80). The enclosure (10) preserves attractants, bait (162), poison, or contraceptives employed in the pest control system (80) and employs a ventilation system (140) to spread scents of lures (160) well above a ground surface (44).

Disclosed is a mousetrap, comprising: a bottom shell, an upper cover, wherein the bottom shell comprises a bottom plate, a first side plate, a second side plate, and a first end plate; two or four killing plates arranged in the bottom shell, wherein a second end plate is provided at the other end of the bottom shell; at least one entrance provided inside the first side plate or the second side plate, and a baffle is provided on the inner surface of the first side plate or the second side plate, a hinged end of the baffle is provided with an elastic member, a supporting assembly linked with the first killing plate is arranged in the bottom shell; when the entrances are in an open state, a lower surface of a side edge of the baffle adjacent to the supporting assembly is supported by the supporting assembly.

A method for converting a conventional manually monitored capture-and-release rodent trap of a type having a box-shaped container with opposed one-way entry corridors communicating with a capture chamber into a remotely-monitored rodent trap. In one aspect, the method includes attaching a smart-sensor to the lid of the trap and press-fitting a bracket having a rodent opening into the space between the one-way entry corridors such that the rodent opening in the bracket restricts movement of a rodent into the capture chamber to a pathway in sufficient proximity for detection by the smart-sensor and signaling to a remote monitoring location.

A rodent trap including a housing, an inner channel, a spring-loaded killing mechanism including at least one spring and at least one striker plate, a reloader, a trigger mechanism, and a bait. The housing includes an opening into the inner channel and one or more sensors arranged at/in the inner channel and/or the opening for triggering the trigger mechanism if a rodent is detected. The striker plate is configured to move between two positions by means of the spring, a first position in which at least a part of the striker plate is arranged at a first side of the inner channel and/or opening leaving the inner channel and/or opening open for passage.
