Claims10
Method of using vibration and/or shock data measured in a rechargeable trap during activation of the trap's killing means to identify the size and/or species of a target animal killed during said activation.
An automatic rechargeable trap (100) comprising:
- i) a spring driven and/or gas pressure driven killing means;
- and
- ii) a target species monitoring unit configured for determining the type of target species killed by said killing means by measuring the vibration and/or shock that is created by said killing means, when triggered, upon impact with a target animal, and comparing data representing said measured vibration and/or shock with previously measured vibration and/or shock data for said killing means' impact with specific target animals.
