Tom-Boy Products Patent Reasons Tom-Boy Products has determined there is no other product as effective on the market, especially one that can be used for multiple pests. The reason for a patent on this product is to protect the inventor from duplication of the product. There are varying designs for individual bait traps for mice, ants, slugs and snails, but none as inexpensive to produce or as effective for multiple uses as the S.A.M.S. Xterminator Tunnel.
Claims S.A.M.S. Xterminator Tunnel This is a concept for a safe baiting procedure for slugs, snails, ants and mice. The main features are the safety it provides for other pets such as cats, dogs and squirrels, as well as protecting small children from the bait being exposed to them. After much research, nothing like this design or broad application is available in the market place. Perhaps the most important observation following many days of testing is that all of the above listed creatures appear attracted to the tunnel effect; readily entering and devouring the bait and rendering them immobile. In addition, this product also keeps the bait dry, making it effective for a longer period of time.
As with other bait traps, the product does not require digging to accommodate the entrance of the pests. It also offers a stable platform, unlike competing models that are free-standing without a method to stabilize or secure the unit, as offered by the Xterminator ground peg (3/16 rod).
Description Three inch (P.V.C.) tubing spliced in half to create the tunnel effect'. The nut is 8132 soft steel and is threaded onto the rod. The soft steel 20.6 cm long 3116 rod is placed with the threaded end through the drilled centre hole in the tubing2. The 3.5 cm wooden knob has an 8/32 threaded soft steel insert. The knob is threaded on to the rod making it ready for use3. The choice of bait (or multiple baits) is then laid on the ground. The tunnel is then pushed into the ground and made secure by the rod, which effectively covers the bait under the tunnel4.
