  • Publication number: 20230404060
    Abstract: An animal trap sensor includes a base having a distal end and a proximal end, a switch having a first metallic element and a second metallic element, and a signal unit, in which, when the first metallic element contacting the second metallic element, thereby forming a closed circuit, such that the signal unit transmits a signal to an off-site receiver. Or, an animal trap sensor includes a first portion and a second portion electrically connected with a signal unit including a power supply, in which, when the first and the second portions are disposed at a first distance between each other, thereby generating an output property, in which, when the first and the second portions are disposed at a second distance between each other, which is different from the first distance, thereby changing the output property and causing the signal unit to transmit a signal to an off-site receiver.

  • Publication number: 20110258907
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bait box (1) with means for accommodating a bait or with an accommodated bait (4) in the bait box (1), with at least one port (2, 3) for providing access for a pest, in particular for a small rodent, to the bait (4). It is distinguished by the fact that the bait box (1) is designed in such a way by the fact that it has at least one section (6) which is extendable in a telescope-like fashion from a retracted position (12) into an extended position (13), whereby the volume of the bait box (1) is enlarged. The invention furthermore relates to the use of the bait box, where, in order to activate the bait, the telescopically extendable section of the bait box is brought from the retracted position into the extended position. It furthermore relates to the use of the bait box as packaging for a bait. It furthermore relates to a method of producing the bait box.
