Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bait station, and in particular to a bait station for small animals such as mice, rats and other rodents.
- the present invention also relates to an animal trap for small animals such as mice, rats and other rodents, the trap incorporating the features of the inventive bait station.
- the present invention broadly provides a bait station for use in laying a bait for small animals, such as mice, rats or other rodents.
- the bait station includes a casing defining an enclosure for housing the bait, and the casing includes an access port sized to admit the animal into the enclosure to access the bait.
- the bait station further includes a bait mounting upon which the bait is placed, the bait mounting being movable relative to the casing between a set position within the enclosure remote from the access port, and a re-baiting position outside the enclosure.
- the access port is sized to prevent larger animals, such as cats or dogs from accessing the enclosure housing the bait.
- the access port is also preferably sized to prevent a human hand from entering the enclosure of the bait station.
- the bait station of the invention is preferably designed to mount and set the bait material enclosed within the bait station casing in a position spaced from the animal access port to prevent children and/or domestic animals from inadvertently coming into contact with the potentially toxic bait material.
- the movable nature of the bait mounting conveniently facilitates the checking and/or re-baiting of the bait station by a user.
- the bait mounting itself may be any suitable means for supporting the bait material.
- the bait mounting is adapted for movement through the animal access port of the casing as the bait mounting moves between the set position and the re-baiting position.
- the bait mounting is movably attached to the bait station casing.
- the movable attachment of the bait mounting to the bait station casing is by means of a retractable connection.
- this retractable connection includes an elongate flexible connecting member secured to the bait mounting such that extension and retraction of the connecting member moves the bait mounting between the set and re-baiting positions.
- the connecting member is most preferably in the form of a flexible cable.
- the bait station further includes means for locking the bait mounting in the set position.
- the bait station of the invention is able to resist tampering by children or domestic animals such as cats and dogs, thereby preventing disturbance of the bait station after it has been set, and again preventing the potential for harm caused by contact with toxic bait material within the station.
- the means for locking the bait mounting in the set position preferably includes means for securing the movable attachment of the bait mounting relative to the station casing.
- an elongate flexible connecting member providing retractable connection of the bait mounting to the casing can be secured in its fully retracted position to retain the bait mounting locked at the set position within the enclosure.
- the securing of the connecting member in its retracted position may be effected in any number of suitable ways. One very simple example may entail securing the elongate flexible connecting member in its retracted state with a small padlock.
- the bait station further includes means for fixing the bait station to another object to prevent removal of the bait station from its in-use position, whether that removal be inadvertent or intentional. This again prevents any undesired tampering with the bait station by domestic animals, children or the like once the bait station has been deployed.
- the means for fixing the bait station to an object preferably includes a fixing element connected to the casing which is able to be fastened to a variety of objects.
- the fixing element includes a flexible elongate member, such as a cable or chain able to be fastened around an object.
- the flexible connecting member by means of which the bait mounting is movably attached to the bait station casing may also constitute the fixing element for fixing the bait station to another object.
- the access port includes a skirt or rim which projects inwardly from an external opening of the access port into the bait-housing enclosure of the bait station.
- the inwardly projecting skirt or rim forms a short passage or tunnel into the casing enclosure.
- This passage or tunnel may optionally include a constriction or region of reduced cross-sectional area compared to an area of the external opening of the access port.
- the inwardly projecting skirt or rim of the access port serves to minimise spillage of loose fragments of the bait material from the casing when the bait station is manually handled, for example during installation of a fresh bait. That is, the skirt or rim forms an internal guard that substantially prevents the fragments from falling out through the opening of the access port.
- the casing of the bait station is elongate and has the access port provided at an end thereof.
- the casing may be formed from a substantially tubular element, having the access port at one end of the tubular element with the bait mounting adapted to be fixed in the set position inside the tubular enclosure at the opposite end of the tube.
- the casing may include more than one access port.
- the bait station may include an access port at each of the two opposite ends of the casing with the bait mounting movable to and from a set position remote from each of the access ports in a central region of the tubular enclosure.
- Each access port is preferably incorporated in a cap element which is fixed at an end of the tubular casing.
- a trap for small animals such as mice, rats and other rodents is provided, the trap incorporating the features of the inventive bait station described above.
- the present invention broadly provides a trap for small animals such as mice, rats and other rodents, the trap having a casing defining an entrapment enclosure, and the entrapment enclosure being adapted to house a bait to coax an animal into the casing.
- the casing includes an access port sized to admit the small animal into the entrapment enclosure to access the bait.
- the trap further includes a bait mounting upon which bait material is placed, the bait mounting being movable relative to the trap casing between a set position within the entrapment enclosure remote from the access port, and a re-baiting position outside the enclosure.
- the bait mounting is adapted for movement through the animal access port of the casing as the bait mounting moves between the set position and the re-baiting position.
- the bait mounting is movably attached to the trap casing.
- the access port includes a skirt or rim which projects inwardly from an external opening of the access port into the bait-housing enclosure of the trap.
- the inwardly projecting skirt or rim forms a short passage or tunnel into the casing enclosure.
- the animal trap of the invention will naturally include some means for preventing escape of an animal after it enters the entrapment enclosure.
- This means of preventing escape may take any of a number of different forms, such as, for example, a closure at the access port preventing exit of the animal from the trap.
- this closure may be a simple hinged door or flap which opens inwardly only, thereby permitting ready access of the animal into the enclosure but preventing the animal from travelling through the access port in the opposite, outward direction.
- the door may be transparent and/or include apertures through it enabling the animal to see and/or smell the bait material from outside the trap casing.
- the trap may include a spring-loaded door which is designed to snap closed from an open position under a spring bias when triggered by the animal accessing the enclosure. For example, movement of the animal within the entrapment enclosure and/or movement of the bait could trigger closure of the door.
- the means for preventing escape of the animal could include a glue covering within the enclosure for adhesively holding the animal and/or some means for physically maiming or killing the animal within the enclosure.
- the present invention provides a trap for small animals such as mice, rats and other rodents, the trap having: a tubular casing defining an entrapment enclosure, the entrapment enclosure being adapted to house a bait to coax an animal into the casing; a bait mounting within the casing and remote from the access port upon which bait material is placed; an access port at an end of the casing, the access port sized to admit the small animal into the entrapment enclosure to access the bait; and a closure at the access port for preventing escape of an animal after it enters the entrapment enclosure, the closure being spring-loaded and designed to snap closed from an open position under a spring bias when triggered by movement of the animal within the entrapment enclosure.
- the trap includes means for triggering the closure to snap closed from the open position, the trigger means comprising a flap or panel movably mounted within the enclosure and positioned to at least partially obstruct a path of the animal to the bait, with the panel or flap being furthermore operatively connected with the closure at the access port, such that movement of the panel or flap by the animal as it tries to access the bait triggers activation of the spring-biased closure.

- the present invention provides a bait station 1 for small animals, such as mice, rats or other rodents.
- the bait station 1 includes an elongate tubular casing 2 which defines an enclosure 3 for housing a bait B.
- the tubular casing 2 includes an access port 4 at each of its opposite ends with each access port sized to admit the small animal into the enclosure 3 to access the bait.
- Each access port 4 is formed in a cap member 5 secured at each end of the casing by any suitable means.
- the cap members 5 may be releasably secured at the respective ends of the tubular casing 2 by a friction fit or a screw-connection.
- Each of the cap members 5 forming the access ports 4 at the opposite ends of the casing 2 has an outer flange formed with an octagonal periphery presenting flat surfaces. These flat surfaces provide a stable footing for the bait station 1 when it is set in position (typically on the ground) for access by the rodents.
- the elongate nature of the bait station also makes it suitable for location in the sort of narrow gaps preferred by mice and rats.
- each cap member 5 includes a skirt or rim 6 which extends inwardly into the casing enclosure 3 from an external opening 7 of the access port 4.
- Each of these inwardly projecting skirts or rims 6 forms a tunnel or passage for the animal into the enclosure 3 and this tunnel or passage includes a slight constriction in its cross-sectional area. This not only helps prevent any loose fragments of bait material within the enclosure 3 from spilling out through the access openings 7 when the bait station is being handled, but it also helps prevent the hands of children or the paws of larger domestic animals, such as cats and dogs, from accessing the enclosure 3.
- the bait station 1 furthermore includes a bait mounting 8 to which the bait material 9 is attached.
- the bait mounting 8 is movable relative to the casing 2 between a "set" position substantially centrally within the enclosure 3 remote from each of the access ports 4, and a "re-baiting" position outside the enclosure 3.
- the movable connection of the bait mounting relative to the casing is in this case by means of a flexible cable 10 which passes through a small aperture 11 in a wall of the tubular bait station casing 2.
- the flexible cable 10 which connects the bait mounting 8 to the casing is able to be extended into or retracted from the casing 2 to move the bait mounting (together with any bait material on it) relative to the casing between the set and re-baiting position.
- the bait material when the cable is fully retracted from the casing, the bait material is in the set position centrally within the bait station enclosure 3 adjacent the small aperture 11 in the casing wall.
- the bait mounting (together with any bait material on it) is able to move outside the enclosure 3 through one of the access ports 4.
- the bait station 1 further includes means for locking the bait mounting in the set position.
- This locking means includes a loop 12 fixed at an external wall of the bait station casing 2 and a padlock or shackle 13.
- the loop 12 and padlock 13 cooperate to lock the flexible cable in its fully retracted position.
- the length of the flexible cable is such that wrapping it once around the circumference of the tubular casing draws the bait mounting into the set position.
- the padlock 13 is used to fasten an eyelet 14 at the end of the cable 10 to the loop 12 on the outside of the casing.
- the flexible cable 10 may also be used to fasten the entire bait station 1 to other objects when the bait station is being set for the rodents.
- the length of the cable 10 could be greater or smaller than the circumference of the casing 2.
- the preferred length of the cable is simply such that it readily enables the bait mounting 8 to emerge from either or both of the access ports 4 for re-baiting when the cable is extended into the casing enclosure 3.
- Figs. 4 to 6 of the drawings an example of an animal trap 1' incorporating the features of the inventive bait station described above is illustrated.
- the trap includes means for preventing escape of the animal after it enters the enclosure 3.
- the enclosure 3 is an entrapment enclosure.
- the means for preventing escape of the animal is a glue pad 15 located centrally within the enclosure beneath the set position of the bait mounting 8.
- the glue pad 15 binds or adheres the rodent to it when that animal moves onto it to access the bait material.
- the bait mounting 8 is in this instance formed as a wire clasp or loop for securely attaching the bait material.
- the flexible cable 10 is long enough to wind twice around the periphery of the casing 2 when the bait mounting is locked in the set position.
- FIG. 7 to 9 another alternative example of an animal trap 1" according to the invention is illustrated.
- This trap 1 " is very similar to, and shares many features of, the trap 1' shown in Figs. 4 to 6.
- the means for preventing escape of the animal after it enters the entrapment enclosure 3 is a spring-loaded door 16 hingedly mounted at an end 17 of each access port 4.
- the doors 16 When the animal enters the enclosure 3 attracted by the bait, it triggers the doors 16 which snap closed under their spring bias against the ends 17 of the skirts 6 in the cap members 5. Both access ports 4 close preventing escape of the animal.
- a further embodiment of a trap 1'" is illustrated.
- the trap again has a tubular casing 2 defining the entrapment enclosure 3, with the entrapment enclosure adapted to house the bait B to coax an animal into the casing.
- the bait mounting may be as previously described.
- a spring-loaded closure or door 16 is arranged at each of the access ports 4 for preventing escape of an animal after it enters the entrapment enclosure.
- a triggering mechanism is provided to activate the closure to snap closed from its open position under the spring bias when the animal is within the entrapment enclosure.
- the trigger mechanism comprises a pair flaps or panels 18 which are pivotably hinged within the enclosure to provide an at least partial obstruct the animal's path to the bait B.
- each of the two flaps or panels 18 are arranged between an access port 4 and the bait B located in the middle of the casing 2.
- each panel or flap 18 of the trigger mechanism may be transparent, have apertures through it, and/or be of such a size so that the animal can see and/or smell the bait.
- Each panel or flap 18 is furthermore operatively connected with the closure 16 at each access port, such that pivoting movement of either panel or flap 18 by the animal as it tries to reach the bait triggers activation of both the spring-biased closures 16, thereby trapping the animal within the enclosure 3.
- the operative connection of each flap or panel 18 to the doors 16 is by a cam and sliding rod 19.
