  • Electronic rodent trap with voltage booster circuit for improved trap performance over the life of the battery
    Patent number: 11224212
    Abstract: A circuit and method for boosting the voltage input to the gate of a MOSFET switch used in an electronic rodent trap is provided. By boosting the voltage to the gate, the MOSFET can be fully turned on to activate an effective killing cycle in the electronic rodent trap even when the trap's battery voltage has dropped to a level that would otherwise be insufficient to fully activate the MOSFET.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 18, 2018
    Date of Patent: January 18, 2022
    Assignee: Woodstream Corporation
