- a first module including:
- a bottom portion including an opening sized to enable the pest to enter into the first module;
- a top portion opposite the bottom portion;
- a first side portion extending from the bottom portion to the top portion;
- a second side portion opposite and parallel to the first side portion;
- a first end portion extending from the first side portion to the second side portion and from the top portion to the bottom portion;
- a second end portion parallel to the first end portion and extending from the first side portion to the second side portion and from the top portion to the bottom portion;
- and
- a kill trap having a trigger mechanism and positioned within the first module,
- wherein one of the first side portion or the second side portion is attachable to a surface for mounting the first module to the surface such that the bottom portion is closer to ground than the top portion.
