  • Patent number: 8769865
    Abstract: A rodent management station includes a housing having a base and a lid together at least in part defining an interior space of the housing. The base has a floor panel and an upstanding wall extending up from the floor panel about at least a portion of the circumference thereof. The upstanding wall has an upper edge and at least one gutter disposed in and extending along at least a portion of the upper edge of the upstanding wall to facilitate water drainage from the upstanding wall. The lid is positionable relative to the base between a closed configuration and an opened configuration. The housing has an entry opening through which rodents enter the interior space of the housing. The rodent management station further includes least one of a trap and a bait positionable within the interior space of the housing.

  • Patent number: 8387304
    Abstract: A rodent management system includes a housing having a base and a lid together at least in part defining an interior space of the housing. The lid is positionable relative to the base between a closed configuration of the station in which the interior space in substantially enclosed, and an opened configuration of the station in which the interior space is accessible for servicing. The housing has at least one entry opening through which rodents enter the interior space of the housing. The base has an inner surface at least in part defining an interior floor of the housing. A bait support is positionable within the interior space of the housing and configured for supporting bait above the floor of the housing. The bait support is further configured for releasable connection with at least one of the base and the lid.

  • Patent number: 8387305
    Abstract: A rodent management station includes a housing having a base and a lid together at least in part defining an interior space. The housing has an entry opening and an internal partition structure configured to partition the interior space of the housing into a bait chamber having an entryway spaced from the entry opening. A pathway is defined at least in part by the partition structure and extends away from the at least one entry opening to the entryway of the bait chamber. The partition structure has at least one through-opening therein other than at the bait chamber entryway to provide open communication between the pathway and the bait chamber other than at the bait chamber entryway. The at least one through-opening is sized substantially smaller than the housing entry opening and the bait chamber entryway to inhibit rodents against entering the bait chamber at the at least one through-opening.

  • Publication number: 20110041383
    Abstract: A rodent management station includes a housing having a base and a lid that together at least in part define an interior space of the housing. The lid is positionable relative to the base between a closed configuration of the station in which the interior space is substantially enclosed, and an opened configuration of the station in which the interior space is accessible for servicing. The housing has an entry opening through which rodents enter the interior space of the housing. The rodent management station also includes at least one of a trap and a bait positionable within the interior space of the housing. The base includes a floor panel and an inner surface on which rodents move within the interior space. An upstanding rear wall extends upward relative to the floor panel about substantially less than the circumference of the floor panel.

  • Publication number: 20110016769
    Abstract: A live trap is provided for trapping rodents. The live trap includes a housing having an interior space and at least one opening through which rodents enter the interior space of the housing. A first trap mechanism is provided that is positionable in the live trap for trapping rodents within the live trap. A second trap mechanism is provided that is different from the first trap mechanism and positionable in the live trap for trapping rodents within the live trap. The live trap and trap mechanisms are configured for selective releasable securement of each of the respective first and second trap mechanisms in the live trap to permit interchangeable use of the first and second trap mechanisms in the live trap.
