Abstract
A bait station for a rodent trap, the bait station adapted to prevent flipping of the rodent trap when activated, the bait station comprises an elongated protuberance affixed to a top surface of a base place, the elongated protuberance comprising a mounting camera oriented to film the rodent trap and begin filming when a proximity sensor is activated in some embodiments.
Claims8
A bait station adapted to secure a rodent trap in place, the bait stations comprising:
- a planar base plate defining a bore dimensioned in congruency with a dimension of an outer surface of the sidewall;
- an elongated protuberance jutting superiorly from a top surface of the base plate, the elongated protuberance affixed at a proximal end to the base plate and affixed at a distal end to a proximity sensor, the elongated protuberance positioned within one inch of an edge of the planar base plate;
- the proximity sensor affixed to the distal end, the proximity sensor adapted to activate a digital camera in response to detection of motion;
- a digital camera oriented such that a snap trap is in a field of view of the sensor;
- a switch operable to power on the digital camera.
