Claims (3)
- 540012 -9- WHATI CLAIM IS: 1. Ail eradication apparatus, the apparatus comprises a tunnel and spray means, the tunnel being operatively connected to the spray means, the spray means is adapted to spray an animal when said animal passes through the tunnel such that the animal will die, wherein the apparatus includes at least one sensors to measure a desired parameter of the animal within the tunnel, the said at least one sensor is mounted to the tunnel and is operatively connected to an electronic controller which is also connected to the spray means whereby if the sensor measurements fit desired parameters for a target animal species, an electronically initiated spray from the spray means is caused to spray the animal inside the tunnel.
- 2. An eradication apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the spray means is located on the top of the tunnel.
- 3. An eradication apparatus according to claim 2 wherein the spray means includes means extending into the inside of the tunnel, providing at least one exit point 4. An eradication apparatus according to claim 3 wherein the means is a spray nozzle. 5. An eradication apparatus according to claim 4 wherein there can be at least two spray nozzles wherein one is located in and through the top of the tunnel and the other one is located on the base of the tunnel or floor. 6. An eradication apparatus according to claim 5 wherein there are at least four sensors located at least in the top of the tunnel but located within the tunnel. 7. An eradication apparatus according to claim 6 wherein the sensors are located such that they can measure body heat and body length of an animal. 8. An eradication apparatus according to claim 7 wherein the spray means includes at least one unit including a canister containing repellent and toxin. 9. An eradication apparatus according to claim 8 wherein the canister is pressurized. therefrom. intellectual property office OF N.Z. -1 MAY 2008 180651NZ CS 7 May 2008 MCG.doc 540012 -10- 12. An eradication apparatus according to claim 11 wherein the unit includes an actuator. 13. An eradication apparatus according to claim 12 wherein the unit includes an electronic controller operatively connected to the sensors. 14. An eradication apparatus according to claim 13 wherein the sensors are operatively 5 connected to the spray unit wherein the sensors are infrared passive sensors. 15. An eradication apparatus according to claim 14 wherein the unit has a portable power means is connected to the electronic controller which is connected such that the discharge of the toxic spray is caused when the electronic controller unit receives the correct information from the sensors relating to the body heat and body size of the 10 animal within the apparatus. 16. An eradication apparatus according to claim 15 wherein the spray unit also includes a microchip which is adapted to control the action of the actuator and it is this unit which allows for the escape of the pressurised spray. 17. An eradication apparatus according to claim 16 wherein the spray unit has a cover to 15 protect the spray unit from weathering and accidentally being knocked. 18. An eradication apparatus according to claim 17 wherein the spray unit has a support means. 19. A method of installation of the eradication apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the following steps include: Locating the tunnel on a support surface, fitting spray 20 unit to the tunnel to allow spray inside the tunnel and activating said spray unit to spray only when a target animal enters. 20. A method of installation of the eradication apparatus of claim 19 wherein after installation of the unit, a cover can be placed over the spray unit part. 21. A method of spraying target animals to eradicate them by operation the eradication 25 apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the following steps include: in use when a target animal enters the tunnel it will move forward into position where a pair of sensors will record both the body heat and the body length of the animal within the tunnel and if these measurements fit the desired parameters for the target species an G:\180651NZ CS 15 Feb 2007 MCG.doc 540012 -11 - target animal enters the tunnel it will move forward into position where at least one sensor will record a desired parameter of the animal within the tunnel and if these measurements fit the desired parameters for the target species an electronically elevated pressure spray unit will apply toxic compound directly onto the fur or skin surface of the target species. 21. An eradication apparatus substantially as herein described with reference to the accompanying drawing. 22. A method of installation of the eradication apparatus as claimed in claim 18 substantially as herein described with reference to the accompanying drawing. 23. A method of installation of the eradication apparatus as claimed in claim 20 substantially as herein described with reference to the accompanying drawing.
