  • ELECTRONIC RAT TRAP WITH INTERNAL BARRIER STRUCTURE
    Publication number: 20220217968
    Abstract: An electronic rodent trap comprises a trap body, a high voltage killing circuit and a barrier. The trap body includes an upper wall assembly and a floor spaced from one another and joined by a left side and a right side. The upper wall assembly forms a fixed ceiling for the trap body. The trap body defines an open entrance end to provide rodents with access to an interior of the trap, and a closed baited end opposite the entrance end. The high voltage killing circuit includes at least three killing plates positioned on the floor in a spaced relationship to create a pathway for a rodent from the entrance end to the baited end. The plates include a first plate nearest the baited end, a second plate nearest the entrance end, and a center plate positioned between the first and second plates. The barrier extends downwardly from the trap ceiling into the trap interior and defines a bottom edge positioned above the center plate.

  • Electronic rat trap with internal barrier structure
    Patent number: 11259518
    Abstract: An enclosure-type electronic rat trap having an interior accessed through a trap entrance and a rat pathway that leads from the entrance to a baited end opposite the entrance is provided. At least three killing plates coupled to a high voltage circuit are positioned along the pathway in spaced relationship and a barrier extends into and constricts the pathway at a specified distance from a center plate in order to reduce the ability of the rat to escape the trap once the rat has traveled along the pathway sufficiently to initiate a killing cycle.
