Abstract
A system for the registration and combating of pests, such as mice and rats, for example, in which an electronic registration unit is connectable with one or more luring boxes selectively disposed in areas to be covered by the system. Each luring box is provided with an entrance aperture for the pest to enter the luring box, and detectors are associated with the luring boxes for producing a signal and sending it to the registration unit in response to the presence of a pest at the luring box. A suction unit is connectable with the luring box for applying a vacuum to the interior of the luring box to withdraw a pest from the luring box into the suction unit.
Claims10
A system for the registration and capturing of pests, such as mice and rats, for example, comprising:
- a suction means for producing a suction;
- at least one luring box positionable in an area where pests are to be controlled, said luring box having opposite sides with an inlet aperture in one side thereof through which a pest can enter the luring box, and an outlet opening in another side;
- a suction tube connecting said outlet opening with the suction means so that a suction is created in the luring box when the suction means is operated, whereby a pest entering the luring box is drawn by suction into and through the outlet opening and suction tube, said outlet opening including a funnel-shaped suction port extending across the interior of the luring box between the inlet aperture and outlet opening for guiding a pest into the outlet opening and suction tube;
- and
- detection means in the luring box between the inlet aperture and suction port to detect the presence of a pest in the luring box.
A system for the registration and capturing of pests, such as mice and rats, for example, comprising:
- a suction means for producing a suction;
- at least one luring box positionable in an area where pests are to be controlled, said luring box having opposite sides with an inlet aperture in one side thereof through which a pest can enter the luring box, and an outlet opening in another side;
- a suction tube connecting said outlet opening with the suction means so that a suction is created in the luring box when the suction means is operated, whereby a pest entering the luring box is drawn by suction through the outlet opening and into and through the suction tube;
- detection means in the luring box between the inlet aperture and outlet opening to detect the presence of a pest in the luring box;
- and
- registration means connected with the detection means to register the number of pests entering the luring box, whereby a record of the number of pests entering the luring box at that location can be kept and a determination made whether to move the luring box to another location where most pests might be detected.
A system for the registration and capturing of pests, such as mice and rats, for example, comprising:
- a suction device for producing a suction;
- a plurality of luring boxes connected with said suction device, each luring box having opposite sides, with an inlet aperture in one side through which a pest may enter the luring box, and an outlet opening in another side;
- a suction tube connecting the outlet opening of each luring box with the suction device for producing a suction in the luring box, whereby a pest entering the luring box is drawn through the outlet opening and into and through the suction tube, said outlet opening including a funnel-shaped suction port extending across the interior of the luring box between the inlet aperture and the outlet opening for guiding a pest into the outlet opening and suction tube;
- detection means in each luring box between the inlet aperture and outlet opening for detecting the presence of a pest in the luring box;
- and
- registration means connectable with the detection means in the luring boxes for registering the number of pests entering the respective luring boxes, whereby the effectiveness of a particular luring box in any given location can be determined and that luring box moved, if appropriate.
