Abstract: A rodent trap and a method of managing rodent control using a rodent trap are disclosed. The rodent trap includes a housing including a kill compartment that houses at least one electric shocking device for shocking a rodent, an entrance tunnel at a first end of the kill compartment, and a door at a second end of the kill compartment. The entrance tunnel is of a length and shape so as to prevent an operative from accidentally inserting a hand into the kill compartment. The entrance tunnel includes a sensor. The trap further includes a power source, an interface, and a printed circuit board for determining that the shocking device has triggered, that the rodent has not departed from the housing within a defined time period, and that facilitates communication sending a signal remotely.
