Selective predator incapacitation devices, along with related methods and systems. In some embodiments, the device may comprise an enclosure comprising an exterior opening. A gate may be positioned within the exterior opening, which gate may be selectively openable to allow for receipt of a head of a predator therethrough. Some embodiments may incorporate facial recognition or other anatomical feature recognition to ensure that only the desired predator, or only mostly the desired predator, is captured and/or incapacitated by the device. The device may further comprise means for incapacitating the predator.

A rodent trap includes a base, a strike member, a biasing member, and a trigger. The base defines a base interior and an opening. The strike member is movably coupled to the base for linear travel between an extended position and a retracted position. The strike member comprises a tunnel element extending through the opening of the base. The strike member defines an entryway that communicates with the base interior. The biasing member is coupled to the base and the strike member. The biasing member is configured to bias the strike member toward the retracted position. The trigger is movably coupled to the base. The trigger is configured to contact an outer surface of the strike member in the extended position. When the trigger dislodges from the outer surface of the strike member, the strike member linearly travels to the retracted position.

The present invention relates to the use of a detachable lure and/or bait chamber adapted for providing natural illumination in a trap for luring a target species into the kill zone chamber of said trap.

Provided herein is an efficient rodent trap device, where the rodent, such as a mouse or a rat, is killed, when the rodent is moving through the rodent trap. The rodent trap includes at least one rodent passage, a trigger mechanism and a killing mechanism. The rodent passage includes a first outer opening and a second outer opening arranged at opposite ends of the rodent passage. The openings provide entries from ambient surroundings. In use, the rodent is led into the trap through the one or the other opening. The trigger mechanism includes one sensor and another sensor, the one sensor arranged between the killing mechanism and the first outer opening and the other sensor is arranged between the killing mechanism and the second outer opening. The killing mechanism includes at least one killing element, which in use enters said rodent passage between the sensors and when actuated by the killing mechanism.
