Patent number: 11464221Abstract: An animal trap system includes a glue board, an animal trap accelerometer sensor, and a signal unit in close proximity to and in communications with the animal trap accelerometer sensor, wherein the signal unit also contains an accelerometer sensor. The animal trap system is capable of detecting capture events, non-capture events, false positives, and/or the type of animal captured by using differential signal analysis and machine learning techniques. When an acceleration is received by the animal trap accelerometer sensor above a pre-set acceleration threshold value, it sends a capture signal to the signal unit and if the signal unit does not receive such acceleration event, the signal unit transmits a capture signal to an off-site receiver. A method of trapping one or more animals using this system is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: BAYER CROPSCIENCE LPInventors: Gaelle Fages, Byron Reid, Homare Teramoto, Fabien Pelissier
