Abstract
A rodent trap adapted to insert through a wall surface, in some embodiments into an interior, inaccessible void, the rodent trap comprising an elongated tubular component having an open distal end and an open proximal end, the open proximal end connected to a vacuum and flexible arm, the rodent trap operable to suck a rodent entering the elongated tubular component into the vacuum.
Claims10
A live rodent trap with vacuum function adapted to trap a live rodent, the rodent trap comprising:
- an elongated tubular component comprising a sidewall having an open proximal end and an open distal end, the tubular component defining a hollow interior recess of between 1-6 inches wide within the sidewall;
- a proximity sensor affixed to the tubular component between 1 and 24 inches from the open distal end, the proximity sensor penetrating a sidewall of the elongated tubular component;
- a switch operable to power on the vacuum in response to activation of the proximity sensor;
- a vacuum having a reservoir for storing debris sucked into the vacuum;
- and
- a flexible arm interconnecting the elongated tubular component and the vacuum.
The rodent trap of claim 4, wherein the mounting plate is mounted on one of a wall and ceiling.

- a proximity sensor affixed to the tubular component between 1 and 24 inches from the open distal end, the proximity sensor penetrating a sidewall of the elongated tubular component;
- a switch operable to power on the vacuum in response to activation of the proximity sensor;
- a switch box defining a hollow interior recess housing a coiled power cable;
- a mounting plate comprising a planar base plate defining a bore dimensioned in congruency with a dimension of an outer surface of the sidewall, the mounting plate further comprising an elongated protuberance jutting from a surface of the base plate;
- a vacuum having a reservoir for storing debris sucked into the vacuum;
- and
- a flexible arm interconnecting the elongated tubular component and the vacuum.
