Abstract: A rodent trap comprises a pail having an upright side wall extending upwardly from a bottom wall to an open top end of the pail. A rotating body is supported for rotation at the open top end of the pail. Typically a ramp provides rodent access to bait on the rotating body. In a preferred embodiment, a pair of integrally moulded mounting grooves on an inner surface of the side wall retain opposing ends of a shaft of the rotating body such that the shaft is slidably removable from the grooves through the open top end of the pail, and the outer surface of the rotating body includes at least one groove formed therein so as to be arranged to receive and retain bait therein.

Abstract: Conventionally, fence pickets are painted by brush on the individual faces and side edges. Alternatively, the front and rear faces may be painted by a roller coater but, due to space restrictions, the side edges must still be brush-painted by hand. The present device consists of a bifurcated handle carrying for rotation a main transversely situated roller coater, with a pair of picket-side-edge-engaging rollers extending forwardly of the main roller and situated at right angles thereto, one adjacent each end thereof. This enables one face and both side edges to be painted at the same time. The legs carrying the edge rollers and the main roller are angulated with respect to the handle so that when the one face and the two side edges have been painted, the roller assembly may be turned over so that the main roller may engage the opposite face of the picket with the edge rollers held clear of the side edges thereof.
