Rearming electronic animal trap with baffle, mechanical switch and multiple-killing-plate configuration

An electronic pest trap comprising:

• a trap body having a power source and a switch mechanism for placing said trap into an active standby mode;
• first, second and third spaced killing plates positioned within said trap body, said third killing plate electrically connected to said first killing plate;
• a high-voltage automatic rearming circuit coupled to said first and second spaced killing plates;
• an automatically resetting mechanical switch positioned within said trap body for triggering said circuit to generate a high voltage cycle;
• and
• a timing mechanism for terminating current flow to said killing plates upon completion of said high voltage cycle;
• said circuit being configured to automatically rearm upon conclusion of said high voltage cycle.

An electronic pest trap comprising:

• a trap body having a power source and a switch mechanism for placing said trap into an active standby mode;
• a pair of spaced killing plates positioned within said trap body;
• a high-voltage generator coupled to said pair of spaced killing plates;
• a mechanical switch positioned within said trap body for triggering said generator to generate a high voltage cycle;
• and
• a timing mechanism for terminating current flow to said killing plates upon completion of said high voltage cycle;
• and
• said trap being configured to automatically return to said active standby mode an indefinite number of times until a first dispatch is detected and to automatically return to said active standby mode a set number of times once said first dispatch has been detected.
