Abstract: The invention pertains to a trap for rodents, particularly for mice and rats, with a trigger device in the form of a plate (10) that is supported in a rocker-like fashion and provided with a constantly accessible receptacle for accommodating bait, with a striking device that is supported on the base plate (1) such that it can be pivoted about a first axis (7), wherein the striking device can be subjected to the force of a tension spring (18) and released from a first, armed position when an animal acts upon the plate such that it is pivoted about a second axis (9) supported on the base plate (1) from an idle position into a triggering position, in which a release element in the form of an eccentrically supported, elastic driving element that is separably engaged with the striking device (8) in the first, armed position can be pivoted by the rocker-like plate (10), wherein the striking device (8) that can be pivoted about the first axis (7) is released from its first, armed position and the force of the tensio

Abstract: The invention relates to a bait station for rodents, in particular for rats, with a box, entry and exit holes in the vicinity of the box floor and run areas extending in the box between the latter for rodents. The aim is to construct such a bait station such that when in the ready position the run areas for the rodents in the box are accepted more quickly and less timidly. For this purpose when the bait station is in the ready position the zones of the box floor of the bait station corresponding to the run areas are left open and the run areas for the rodents run in the box of the bait station on the floor of the surroundings of the area of use of the bait station.

Abstract: A modular deflection device for securing to buildings to prevent birds, particularly pigeons, from roosting. The deflection device has a plurality of base rails arranged parallel and forming a web of modules divided by break points. The device includes a plurality of the modules, each having bent metal pins anchored thereto. The ends of the pins extend upwardly and outwardly, acting as spaced deflection elements to prevent birds from roosting over the deflection device. Preferably, one pin end extends perpendicularly upwards, while the other pin end extends outwardly at about 30° from vertical. The modules are separable at the break points for quickly fitting to a length of a building feature such as a ledge or molding.

Abstract: The invention relates to a deflection device for birds, and for pigeons in particular, which can be rapidly adapted to the length and depth of, for example, building surfaces which are to be protected, or can be adapted to the conditions incurred by projecting parts of buildings, and can be laid or applied quickly and without excessive commitment. For this purpose a plurality of plastic base rails are provided, parallel to one another and identical in design, which are connected in a separable manner by webs which feature predetermined break points, and are formed from a plurality of modules, connected to one another in a separable manner by means of predetermined break points. Anchored in each module is a bent metal pin, both ends of which extend, as spaced deflection elements, above a raised section of the module upwards and/or outwards, in such a way that one end runs perpendicularly upwards and the other end extends upwards and outwards at an angle of approximately 30° to the vertical.

Abstract: A device fixed to the ground, bait stations such as bait boxes for rats. Such bait boxes which are secured against undesired opening are anchored flush to the ground in such a manner that the unauthorized moving of the bait box is practically excluded. For this purpose at least one movable wedge-like ground-anchor, connected to a tension element is driven into the ground. The opposite end of the tension element is led through an assigned opening at the bottom of the bait box into the bait box. From the interior of the bait box, an authorized person can pull the tension element to move the ground-anchor into an anchoring position and hold the bait box flush with its bottom to the ground, whereby the anchoring of the bait box can be removed only after its authorized re-opening.
