Patent number: 12219950Abstract: An electronic rodent trap includes an outer housing forms a trap body having two entrances defined on opposite sides thereof and creates a tunnel therebetween extending longitudinally between the entrances. A high voltage killing circuit is arranged within the trap body, and includes a plurality of killing plates and a triggering element separate from the plurality of killing plates and spaced inwardly from the entrance. A removable tunnel module is received within the outer housing and includes opposed entrances in alignment with the two entrances of the trap body. A removable electronics module is received within the outer housing, the electronics module contains the voltage circuit operatively connected to the plurality of killing plates.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2022Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: Woodstream CorporationInventors: Paul Kletzli, Mark Ebner, Cory Blair, Peter Koziar, Jr.

Patent number: 12219949Abstract: An electronic rodent trap and monitoring method is provided. Each trap has at least one entrance, and preferably two entrances in opposed relationship to create a longitudinal tunnel, with a pair of lower plates extending longitudinally and oriented in spaced substantially parallel relationship, and a triggering element, such as a third plate, positioned above the lower plates, and preferably adjacent the ceiling of the trap on a center baffle that also shields a bait cup. The trap is activated when the rodent, with its left and right feet on the parallel lower plates, which are preferably raised above the floor, contacts the triggering element on the center baffle. The trap is preferably modular in design with an electronics module and a tunnel module removably secured within and protected by an outer housing. The trap also has improved features for more accurate remote monitoring of rodent dispatch and kill verification.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2021Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: Woodstream CorporationInventors: Paul Kletzli, Mark Ebner, Cory Blair, Peter Koziar, Jr.
