4845887 - Scented mouse trap

A floor recess mountable trap including a plurality of scented, access channelways leading to an interior containment cavity whereat a rotatable, vaporizer, attractor member is mounted in displaced relation to the channelway exits. Depending upon the recess depth, a ramp collar maybe used. A one-way valve member prevent escape from the cavity.

5115595 - Rodent trap

A rodent trap includes a housing defined by a rectilinear framework, including a floor, spaced side walls, and a rear wall, with a top wall defined by a pivotally mounted door permitting access to contents of the container. A "U" shaped handle member is mounted to an upper terminal end of frontal frame legs, wherein a medial "U" shaped frame member pivotally mounts a trap door therebetween. The trap door is pivotally mounted medially of its length, whereupon a rodent tempted forwardly by bait along the trap door effects pivotment of the trap door and its closure of the front wall of the trap structure.

5305545 - Electromechanical device for the continuous trapping of pests

An air-tight vermin trap includes a lower section containing a disinfectant liquid, an upper section sealingly mounted on the lower section and a cover sealingly covering the upper section. The upper section defines an entrance opening having a cover flap which can sealingly close the entrance opening. A drop floor which is activated by an electromechanical system operates to drop a vermin into the lower section upon actuation of a sensor flap by the vermin. Vermin access elements extend upwardly along the lower section and the upper section to the entrance body.

6631582 - Low profile tilt-ramp trap - Owned by Kness Mfg. Co., Inc. (Albia, IA)

A low profile tilt-ramp trap includes a tube providing entrance into the trap. Within the tube is a tilt ramp that has a flap on its exit end to prevent mice from moving beneath the tilt ramp. Once a mouse enters the tilt ramp, the ramp pivots to provide the mouse access to the interior of the trap. A counter weight causes the tilt ramp to move back to its initial position after the mouse has entered.

4879836 - Rodent trap

A rodent trap, particularly for mice, comprises a substantially closed container which includes a fixed stationary ramp surface extending from a position adjacent the lid of the container downwardly from one side of the container toward an opposed side at which it ends at a position adjacent to but spaced from the side surface. An upper portion of the ramp surface is roughened to give good grip to the rodent while a lower portion of the ramp is smooth to prevent or inhibit the rodent from turning or reversing once it has reached the lower end of the ramp surface. Bait is applied to the lower end of the ramp surface and to the inner surface of the side wall adjacent the end of the ramp surface. The depth of the container is sufficient so that it can receive the ramp while underneath the ramp is a quantity of water the depth of which is sufficient to drown the mouse. An opening in the lid adjacent the upper end of the ramp is of sufficient small size to prevent the entry of unintended larger rodents.
