Abstract
A system, method, and device to selectively contain the spread of an invasive species. The device according to this invention: (1) is securely fixable to or implantable in a prey of the invasive species; (2) includes a trigger mechanism specific to the invasive species to release a kill mechanism; and (3) includes a kill mechanism which, if triggered, selectively kills said invasive species.
Claims20
A device to selectively control the spread of Burmese pythons or reticulated pythons, (“Brps”) comprising:
- a. a Brps specific trigger mechanism in operative association with a Brps specific kill mechanism such that when said Brps triggers said trigger mechanism, said kill mechanism is activated;
- and
- b. a Brps specific kill mechanism in operative association with said Brps specific trigger mechanism.
A method for controlling the spread of invasive Brps comprising:
- implanting in or securely attaching to a prey of said Brps at least one device, wherein each said at least one device comprises:
- i. a Brps specific trigger mechanism in operative association with a Brps specific kill mechanism such that when said Brps triggers said trigger mechanism, said kill mechanism is activated;
- and ii. a Brps specific kill mechanism in operative association with said Brps specific trigger mechanism.
A system comprising:
- a. a trigger mechanism securely fixed to or subcutaneously implanted in a prey of Brps;
- and
- b. a kill mechanism which selectively kills said Brps upon triggering said trigger mechanism by constriction of and consumption of said prey.
