Definitions
- This invention relates to a vertebrate trap for capturing, disabling and/or killing vertebrates and has particular, but not exclusive application to a trap for mammals, preferably land mammals, and even more preferably small land mammals such as rodents, marsupials, leporids and mustelids.
- Rodent traps are used to capture or kill rats, mice or other small rodents .
- Known traps utilise bait to attract the rodents towards the trap, thereby making them more effective at capturing rodents.
- the bait comprises a food stuff such as chocolate.
- Known traps use various ways to kill a rodent that enters the trap.
- Mechanical traps may comprise a spring loaded strike arm adapted to strike the rat when it activates a trigger mechanism.
- Other traps are known to comprise an electrified mesh that electrocutes the rodent when its body completes a circuit. These types of traps have draw backs in that the rodent is killed while on or inside the trap. This can deter other rodents making the trap able to catch only one rodent at a time until it is emptied and reset.
- Poison based traps are also known, these traps either comprise a poison powder or airborne poison that the rodent contacts as it moves through the trap.
- the poison is typically adapted not to have immediate effect and therefore the rodent will cease to be some distance from the trap. The trap can therefore continue to operate until the reserves of poison powder or airborne poison have been depleted.
- a vertebrate trap for capturing, disabling and/or killing a vertebrate comprising an enclosure into which the vertebrate can enter to be captured, disabled and/or killed, and a pheromone component for attracting vertebrates into the enclosure.
- the vertebrate may not necessarily reach a disabled state and/or die whilst in the enclosure and that the vertebrate may alternatively reach a disabled state and/or die having left the enclosure, although the act that causes the vertebrate to reach a disabled state and/or die does occur within the enclosure.
- the pheromone component is provided at least in the enclosure.
- the trap further comprises a poison component.
- the pheromone component and the poison component are in combination.
- the trap further comprises a container and a container actuation means, the container including the pheromone component and/or the poison component, the actuation means being adapted to cause the container to release a dose of its contents.
- the pheromone and poison can be contained in a single canister. Therefore, a user is not required to handle any bait materials or any poison materials as these are conveniently housed in gaseous form within the gas container.
- the container comprises a pressurized gas container.
- the trap further comprises a detector and the actuation means is adapted to cause the container to release a dose of its contents at least when a vertebrate is detected as being within the enclosure by the detector.
- the actuation means is adapted to cause the container to release a dose of its contents at predetermined time intervals. This is advantageous as the concentration of pheromone component emanating from the trap is kept at a level to attract further vertebrates.
- the ratio of pheromone components to poison components is such that vertebrates are attracted by the pheromone but are unable to detect the poison until inside the enclosure, at which point the poison is in sufficient concentrations to fatally poison the vertebrate.
- the actuation means is arranged to cause the container to spray a vertebrate that is detected by the detector as being within the enclosure with a dose of its contents.
- the vertebrate trap further comprises a sensor in combination with a transmitter, wherein the sensor is arranged to sense an attribute that is indicative of the amount of the pheromone component and/or the poison component that remains, and the transmitter is arranged to transmit a signal that is indicative of the amount of the pheromone component and/or the poison component that remains .
- the attribute that is indicative of the amount of the pheromone component and/or the poison component that remains may, for example, be the amount of the pheromone component and/or the poison component that remains, the amount of the pheromone component and/or the poison component that has been administered, the number of doses that have been administered, or the number of doses that remain.
- a user can simply remotely receive the transmitted signal from a trap in order to discover whether the trap contains any pheromone component and/or poison component. This is particularly useful if a trap is located in an inaccessible area.
- the sensor may be any suitable sensor, for example a pressure sensor that can sense the pressure of a substance in a container; a gas sensor that can sense the amount of gas in a container; a liquid sensor that can sense the amount of liquid in a container; a chemical sensor that can sense the amount of a chemical in a container; a light sensor that can sense greater amounts of light as the contents of a container are diminished or can sense the presence of light when the contents of a container fall below a certain level; a sound sensor that can sense the frequency of the sound from the administration of a pheromone component and/or poison component; a motion sensor that can sense the frequency of movement that occurs upon administration of a pheromone component and/or poison component; or an electronic sensor for counting the number of detections that cause the container to release a dose of its contents .
- a pressure sensor that can sense the pressure of a substance in a container
- a gas sensor that can sense the amount of gas in a container
- a liquid sensor that can sense the amount of liquid in
- the transmitter may be arranged to transmit a wireless signal, for example a radio signal or microwave signal.

- the pheromone in particular is able to emanate from the enclosure to attract rodents.
- a rodent enters the enclosure 2 it will actuate the first sensor, which sends a signal to the controller.
- activation of the second sensor causes the controller to move the release member such that the poison and pheromone flows from the pressurized container 3 into the enclosure 2.
- the controller is adapted to actuate the release member for a predetermined amount of time, which corresponds to a sufficient dose to fatally poison the rodent. Once the predetermined period of time has expired the release member returns to its original position to block conduit 12 and prevent further poison/pheromone from entering the enclosure 2.
- the controller is programmed to wait a predetermined period of time before it once again acts on the signals received from the first sensor and the second sensor. This will allow time for the rodent to leave the trap thereby preventing more poison than necessary being given to the rodent.
