Abstract
A system for detecting rodent activity in an area. A series of detectors that calibrated to detect rodent vocalizations are placed in a geographic area. One or more of the detectors detect rodent vocalizations and transmits data notifying a central computer of detected vocalizations. The computer is provided with a program that generates a report of incidences and locations of detected vocalizations.
Claims7
A system for detecting rodent activity, comprising:
- a series of ultrasound detectors that are calibrated to detect frequency ranges associated with vocalizations that are emitted by rodents, each of the ultrasound detectors of the series of ultrasound detectors further comprising a geolocation device;
- a central computer comprising one or more processors and computer-readable memory, the computer-readable memory comprising computer-readable instructions;
- the central computer configured to receive information from each of the ultrasound detectors relating to detected rodent vocalizations, the central computer further configured to receive location information from the geolocation device of each of the ultrasound detectors of the series of ultrasound detectors;
- and the one or more processors configured to read the computer-readable instructions from the computer-readable memory to generate a map of a geographic area, the map showing areas of detected vocalizations.
