IMPROVEMENTS IN, OR RELATING TO, PEST CONTROL
Disclosed is a self-resetting pest control apparatus to incapacitate a target pest species and reset itself after such incapacitation. The trap has a kill engine to at least in part deliver incapacitating energy to the target species, whereby the kill engine does not require electricity, the kill engine using an inflammable gas charge, the kill engine when triggered, will actuate and then reset itself. Present also is a source of compressed inflammable gas, connected to and supplying the kill engine. A force delivery hammer, driven by the kill engine, that when actuated linearly delivers the incapacitating energy to the target pest species by impacting thereon. There is also a trap enclosure from which the kill engine is at least in part mounted, the trap enclosure having an entry point for the target pest species into an interior of the trap enclosure, a bait station, and trigger mechanism to trigger the kill engine. A species adapter connects at least in part to the trap enclosure to adapt the trap enclosure to the target pest species, the species adapter based on the size, habits or travel nature of the target pest species. Such that when a target pest species enters the apparatus it triggers the trigger mechanism, causing the kill engine to actuate and deliver incapacitating energy to the target pest species.
PEST CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAME
The present disclosure relates to devices for controlling pests, and, more specifically, to devices for monitoring and communicating the presence of pests, and eliminating pests. The pest control system comprises a frame configured to be removably positioned in a pest control station, a panel pivotally coupled to the frame, and pest control device positioned in the frame.
Packaging container having a secure closure and retention elements
A thermoformed packaging container includes a base section having a bottom surface, first and second inner and outer base side walls, and first and second inner and outer base end walls forming a chamber, with at least one outer base one side wall having a plurality of base indentations and protrusions formed therein. A cover section having a top surface, first and second cover side walls, and first and second cover end walls, the cover section adapted to cover the base section when in a closed state, with at least one of the cover side walls having a plurality of cover indentations and protrusions formed therein for engaging with the plurality of base indentations and protrusions. The container also includes a closure mechanism for securing the container in a closed position, wherein the closure mechanism is formed within at least one end wall of the base section and a corresponding end wall of the cover section.

Animal live trap assembly
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.

ATTACHMENT FOR GUIDING AN ANIMAL INTO A TRAP
The present invention generally relates to improvements in live animal traps. In particular, the present invention relates to a device and mechanisms for incorporating a means to guide an animal into a live animal trap. In some embodiments thereof, the invention may comprise an attachment separate or built-in to a live animal trap to lead animals, generally groundhogs, into the trap as they exit a ground hole or any such habitat. Said attachment additionally serves as a means to prevent other animals from getting trapped. In a non-limiting application, the disclosure describes a device that allows people to trap a specific animal causing damage to their yard without trapping home pets or other animals.
