Abstract: A trap including an elongated base for mounting along the bottom of a wall at the juncture between the wall and floor. A pair of spaced-apart electrical conductors are mounted on the base, and an electrical voltage difference is provided between the conductors. The conductors may be carried by an elongated carrier secured to the base. The carrier may be a stiff strip, or it may be a tape having a pressure sensitive adhesive on one face and two foil strips as the conductors on the other face. The carrier may be gripping means for holding conventional wires, or the conductors, such as foil strips, may be applied directly to the base. The base may be formed with a well for catching dead insects, and the conductors may be in opposed relation above the bottom of the well. An end cap may be provided to finish off one end of the baseboard trap and furnish electric power to the trap.

Abstract: A pulsator for a jet resonator finding particular value and utility in rodent control while maintaining and achieving improved effectiveness together with built-in safe guards against accidental detrimental or fatal effects of ultrasonic sound on human beings while maintaining a low cost of parts and production thereby making improved pest control available to the broad populous, the pulsator including an elongated upright tube having a jet in a lower-end opening and having a ball-receiving seat structure circumscribing and as a part of the upper outlet opening, with a metal ball of smaller size than the cross-section of the elongated space defined in the tube such that the ball is tossed reciprocatingly upwardly in the tube without unduly limiting fluid stream when the ball is tossed upwardly but retarding the flow of the stream as the ball falls downwardly toward the open nozzle end of the lower-end jet which nozzle preferably projects upwardly into the space for a minor distance, pressure of the stream of

Abstract: A trap including an elongated base for mounting along the bottom of a wall at the juncture between the wall and floor. A tape having pressure-sensitive adhesive on both faces is mounted on the base, and extends along substantially the entire length of the base. An elongated cover extends along the base and conceals the tape, the cover being spaced from the floor to provide access for crawling insects to the base and tape.

Abstract: An elongated base carries two uninsulated electric wires connected to a power source for providing a voltage difference between the wires. The base is placed in any area from which pests, such as rodents or birds, are to be removed. The base may be an electric cable which is to be protected from rodents. Where birds are involved, the base is an elongated perch of insulative material carrying two wires spaced apart by a distance small enough such that the foot of a bird alighting on the perch will touch both wires and be shocked. The perch may be a flexible cord strung between upstanding posts, or it may be a flat strip with both wires on one face of the strip. The perch may be arranged above a receptacle for catching a bird falling from the perch. A mirror may be arranged near the base, and means for reproducing or recording and reproducing bird sounds may be located near the base, for attracting a bird to the base. Electric power may be applied to the wires intermittently and at an adjustable voltage level.
