Abstract: A uni-directional entrance tube for a rodent trap having opposite side walls, each of the first and second side walls including a ramp pivot, a ramp having an entrance end and a trap compartment end between the first and second side walls, the ramp pivotable about a hinge pin having first and second ends. The hinge pin is located between the entrance end and the trap compartment end and the first and second ends rotate within the ramp pivots in the first and second side walls. A counter weight is on an underside of the entrance end of the ramp and held in place by a tab extending downwardly from the entrance end of the ramp. A floor having an impact bump extending upwardly from the ramp is configured to shorten the throw of the ramp without reducing the overall height of the rodent trap.

Abstract: A reflective bird deterrent, having a base, a center post attached to and extending up from the base, and first and second spinner assemblies having a plurality of fins rotatably attached to the center post. The plurality of fins on the first spinner are angled such that they spin in the opposite direction of the plurality of fins on the second spinner, and the plurality of fins on the first spinner and the plurality of fins on the second spinner are reflective.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a trap monitor. The trap monitor can detect when a trap is triggered using a magnetic interlock attached to the trap and a magnetic flux sensor. The trap monitors may forward trap events and other information to a central hub for communication to a server. The trap monitors and hub can be configured using infrared transmissions from a mobile device.

Abstract: A rodent trap includes a box having one or more entrance tubes provided therein. The entrance tubes are in communication with a mouse hole in the side wall of the box. Within each tube is a tilt ramp that tilts in response to a weight of 4 grams at a distance of one and 5/16 inches from the pivot axis to the tilt ramp.

Abstract: A mouse or rodent trap including a housing having an elongated rotatable paddle member therein and an insert within the confines of the trap housing. A trigger assembly engages the paddle member and releases the paddle member for rotation when the trigger assembly is engaged by the mouse or rodent entering the housing. The mouse or rodent is then swept into the insert which is then closed and removed.

Abstract: A rodent trap includes a box having one or more entrance tubes provided therein. The entrance tubes are in communication with a mouse hole in the side wall of the box. Within each tube is a tilt ramp that tilts in response to a weight of 4 grams at a distance of one and {fraction (5/16)} inches from the pivot axis to the tilt ramp.

Abstract: A low profile tilt-ramp trap includes a tube providing entrance into the trap. Within the tube is a tilt ramp that has a flap on its exit end to prevent mice from moving beneath the tilt ramp. Once a mouse enters the tilt ramp, the ramp pivots to provide the mouse access to the interior of the trap. A counter weight causes the tilt ramp to move back to its initial position after the mouse has entered.

Abstract: A mouse or rodent trap includes a housing having an elongated rotatable paddle member therein. A trigger assembly engages the paddle member and releases the paddle member for rotation when the trigger assembly is engaged by a mouse or rodent entering the housing. The trigger assembly is formed completely of plastic, and is snapped together during assembly. An anti-backspin mechanism permits the rotatable paddle member to rotate in one direction but prevents rotation in the opposite direction.

Abstract: A combined mouse and insect trap is formed from a container having side walls, a bottom wall, and a top wall forming an enclosed compartment. A glue board is placed within the compartment and is capable of gripping and holding a mouse or an insect whenever a mouse or insect contact it. One or more mouse holes are provided in the side walls to permit mice to enter the compartment. Also one or more insect holes are provided in the side walls. The insect holes are too small to permit a mouse to enter, but are small enough to permit insects to enter the compartment.

Abstract: The baiting device of the present invention acts to provide a device for exposing ants or other crawling insects to bait without allowing the bait to become dampened or blown away and while protecting small animals or children from eating the bait. The preferred ant bait or insect killer is placed within the sealed container. The lid of the container is locked into place by a fastener to a cap on top of the pipe so that the lid is not easily removed by animals or children. The baiting device is then stuck into the ground like a stake near the ant bed under attack. Because there is an open airway through the pipe to the bait within the container, the bait may be smelled by ants and other insects which may enter the container and remove bait through the holes in the pipe. The bait is protected within the container from exposure to the weather and other outside forces, as well as being sealed away from pets and children.
