A removeable, adhesive pad sticker used to augment any existing rodent trap by affixation to the top face of the rodent trap. It has an adhesive pad facing up in the region of the bait station. When the rodent steps on it and stops to take the bait, they are no longer capable of quickly moving when they activate the trap's trigger and the kill bar of the rodent trap is released. Even if the rodent does not reach the bait station, their jiggling efforts to extricate their feet and/or lower body from the adhesive wrapper will activate the trigger. This addition to a snap trap raises the kill ratio to approximately 100% but more importantly, allows the kill bar to strike the rodent behind the neck eliminating any unsightly mess.

An animal trap system includes a glue board, an animal trap accelerometer sensor, and a signal unit in close proximity to and in communications with the animal trap accelerometer sensor, wherein the signal unit also contains an accelerometer sensor. The animal trap system is capable of detecting capture events, non-capture events, false positives, and/or the type of animal captured by using differential signal analysis and machine learning techniques. When an acceleration is received by the animal trap accelerometer sensor above a pre-set acceleration threshold value, it sends a capture signal to the signal unit and if the signal unit does not receive such acceleration event, the signal unit transmits a capture signal to an off-site receiver. A method of trapping one or more animals using this system is also provided.

An anti-torsion system and kit for spring-powered rodent traps. The system and kit make use of one or more torsion-blockers. Each torsion-blocker includes a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, a first fastening mechanism on the first surface of the substrate attaching the torsion-blocker to the base of the rodent trap, and a second fastening mechanism on the second surface of the substrate attaching the torsion-blocker to a surface upon which the rodent trap base rests. When a rodent trap is mounted using the system, the one or more torsion-blockers oppose the torsion force and prevents the twisting movement of the rodent trap base caused by the acceleration and snapping down of the hammer motivated by the spring from occurring.

An improved rodent trap having a base, hammer bar, hold down bar, spring for the hammer bar, a latch member for the hold down bar and a bait member for holding the bait thereon just as a conventional rodent trap, and, also containing a glue area on either end of the trap wherein the platform has a cut-out area or receptacle area therein so that glue can be placed throughout the area of the base so that if a rodent comes near the trap he will either be killed by the hammer bar in a conventional manner or caught in the glue area. An optional string, which may contain disinfectant, may also be attached to the platform and used to pick-up the trap.

The modular pest trap assembly of the present application includes a modular relatively planar structure that is configured to be adaptable for different methods and areas of a structure for the capture of pests. The assembly includes a main body with a first face and a second face. The modular structure also includes a flap and an edge trap member. An adhesive layer extends across a portion of a singular face of the modular structure. A detachable film cover lays across the adhesive layer to permit handling without contact of the adhesive layer. The flap extends outward from the main body so as to assist in attaching the main body to a corner for creation of a void space.
