A floating decoy adapter for land use includes an attachment plate, a vertical support plate and a base section. The attachment plate extends substantially perpendicular from one end of the vertical support and the base section extends substantially perpendicular from the other end of the vertical support. The attachment plate includes a retention slot. The retention slot is sized to receive a projection extending along a length of a floating decoy. The base section preferably includes a portion...

A method and apparatus for controlling rodents uses pressurized exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine. The gases are compressed and injected under pressure into underground burrows of rodents. The rodent tunnels fill with a very high concentration of such gases as carbon monoxide from the exhaust within just a few seconds.

The invention is directed to an insect collection and viewing device comprising a negative air pressure generating assembly including a motor and a fan driven by the motor and a suitably shaped collection nozzle. A viewing chamber is coupled intermediate the collection nozzle and the negative air pressure assembly. The viewing chamber is tubular in shape and has an air permeable-insect impermeable screen at the downstream opening thereof and a movable valve/lens at the upstream opening thereof. ...

A decoy mounting and movement system for mounting a hollow animal species decoy and for simulating life-like movement of the animal species between a rest position and a vertically pivoted position which simulates feeding by the animal species having a decoy mounting stake formed of an elongate upper stake section and an elongate lower stake section interconnected via an elongate vertical return spring capable of bending along its length to create an angle between the upper and lower stake secti...

The present invention provides for a hose reel assembly structured for ease of use and maintenance. The hose reel assembly includes a folding crank handle, having an easily accessible and identifiable release, an easily released water system, and an autotrack device that is easily engaged/disengaged. By improving the ease of use of such components, the amount of wear and tear on the hose reel is reduced and the life of the hose reel is extended.

A device for displaying an odorous animal repellent. The device comprises a housing having a chamber adapted for receiving the animal repellent. The device further comprises a retainer on the underside of the housing which allows permeation of the scent of the animal repellent from the chamber into the air surrounding the chamber, but does not allow the animal repellent to sift through the retainer.

A solar insect killer and catcher includes a casing, a solar plate, a power supply, a control switch, a timer, a circuit board and a plurality of light-emitting elements to emit the lights having various wavelengths. If a user intends to kill or catch the insects, he/she can prepare a water-collecting basin or dig a water-collecting pit outdoors. When the casing emits the lights having various wavelengths according to the preset timings, many kinds of insects can be attracted by the lights and t...
