Abstract
The present invention relates generally to a method and related devices for the deactivation of landmines. More particularly, the present invention includes several devices used to carry out a method of training live animals, such as rats, to seek out and destroy active landmines in the field, or to localize, unearth, and mark the location of active mines, thereby reducing the danger of their later removal by valuable sniffing mine clearing animals, technology, and mine clearing personnel, making a landmine clearance effort more effective and efficient.
