Abstract
Implementations of sewer cleanout caps may include a cap having a first side and the second side opposite the first side. The cap may be configured to be inserted into a sewer cleanout line with the second side facing an inside of the sewer cleanout line. Implementations of sewer cleanout caps may include a rod coupled to and extending from the second side of the cap. The rod may be configured to extend through and couple to a bait. Implementations of sewer cleanout caps may also include a bait retainer configured to couple to the rod and secure the rodenticide to the rod and a spacer coupled over the rod and configured to provide space between the rodenticide and the second side. A length of the rod extending from the second side may be adjustable.
Claims20
A sewer cleanout cap comprising:
- a cap comprising a first side and a second side opposite the first side, wherein an outer sidewall of the cap is threaded, wherein the cap is configured to be secured within a sewer cleanout line with the second side facing an inside of the sewer cleanout line;
- a rod coupled to and extending from the second side of the cap, wherein the rod is configured to extend through and couple to a bait;
- a bait retainer configured to couple to the rod and secure the bait to the rod;
- and
- a cylindrical and non-threaded spacer configured to couple over the rod and configured to be positioned entirely between the bait and the second side;
- wherein the cylindrical and non-threaded spacer is configured to contact the second side;
- wherein the rod is configured to extend horizontally into the sewer cleanout line;
- and
- wherein a length of the rod extending from the second side is adjustable.
A sewer cleanout cap comprising:
- a cap comprising a first side and a second side opposite the first side, wherein the cap comprises a plurality of threads configured to secure the cap within a sewer cleanout line, wherein the cap is configured to be inserted into the sewer cleanout line with the second side facing an inside of the sewer cleanout line;
- a rod fixedly coupled to and extending from the second side of the cap;
- a wire adjustably coupled to the rod, wherein the wire is configured to couple through a bait;
- and
- a wire retainer directly coupled to the rod and configured to secure the wire to the rod;
- wherein the wire is configured to hang within the sewer cleanout line parallel to the rod when the cap is secured within the sewer cleanout line;
- and
- wherein a length of the wire within the sewer cleanout line is greater than a length of any rod comprised in the sewer cleanout cap.
A sewer cleanout cap comprising:
- a cap comprising a first side and a second side opposite the first side, wherein the cap comprises a plurality of threads configured to secure the cap within a sewer cleanout line, wherein the cap is configured to be inserted into the sewer cleanout line with the second side facing an inside of the sewer cleanout line;
- a first rod coupled to and extending from the second side of the cap, wherein the first rod is configured to extend through and couple to a bait;
- a bait retainer configured to couple to the first rod and secure the bait to the first rod;
- a non-threaded spacer configured to couple over the first rod and configured to be positioned entirely between the bait and the second side;
- a second rod fixedly coupled to and extending from the second side of the cap;
- a wire configured to couple to and hang from the second rod into the sewer cleanout line, wherein the wire is configured to couple through the bait;
- and
- a wire retainer configured to directly couple the wire to the second rod;
- wherein a width of the non-threaded spacer is consistent across an entire length of the non-threaded spacer;
- wherein a length of the wire within the sewer cleanout line is greater than a length of the first rod and a length of the second rod;
- and
- wherein the first rod is configured to extend horizontally into the sewer cleanout line.
