Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pest electrocution device, especially for electrocution of rodents such as rats, mice and the like.
  • the device is especially designed for use above ground, as opposed to the same applicant's pending application relating to a device and method, suitable for use below ground, i.e. especially in sewers and other pipe systems as well as above ground.
  • a rodent trap comprises a floor in which floor three electrodes are arranged.
  • the electrodes are typically connected to a source of current providing between 2.8 and 4 kilo volts at 250 Hz.
  • the trap is supplied with energy from 4 AA batteries.
  • a sensor is provided which sensor detects a rodent in the trap after which the sensor activates an electronic circuitry which exercises a so-called kill cycle.
  • the electrodes are constantly maintained with a current such that as a rodent steps onto the electrode, the conductivity between two electrodes changes dramatically which is the input the sensor uses in order to activate the kill cycle. After the kill cycle is completed the floor of the trap in which the electrodes are incorporated will turn, whereby the dead rodent will fall down under and outside the trap.
  • a general problem with these devices is the fact that either they consume power all the time, which puts a limit to how long the apparatus can operate without being serviced, or that there is a large amount of electronic equipment, sensors, control systems, communication modules etc., which makes them very fragile such that they are not suitable to be placed in a harsh environment such as for example outdoors, cold storage facilities or other storage facilities with exposure to snow, rain, dust and the like where often especially rats constitute a large problem.
  • pollution etc. may create circumstances in the traps which can lead to leak currents such that the trap may be activated without a rodent being present in the trap.
  • a further device is disclosed in US 2,677,209.
  • a tunnel is provided running through a housing. In the tunnel is placed some bait.
  • two doors pivot into position, blocking the ends of the tunnel.
  • a third door opens to an adjacent chamber, in which a netting is arranged in a top wall. The netting allows light in, and the pest is thereby lured into the chamber.
  • an array of electrodes In the floor of the chamber is arranged an array of electrodes. These are activated, directing a high voltage through the pest which thereby is electrocuted.
  • the power source appears to be the grid, not making the device particularly mobile or usable in remote locations.
  • This device is relying on a number of trap doors cooperating to open and close at the correct moment, in order for the pest not to escape the trap. Furthermore, as the pest is electrocuted, the carcass remains in the electrocution chamber, thereby emitting a foul smell as the carcass decomposes. It will therefore require regular monitoring and emptying of the trap in order not to deter further pests from entering the trap.
  • a still further device is disclosed in US 2,469,454.
  • a passage is provided through the device.
  • the passage is limited by a U-shaped channel and for most of the way the housing of the entire device.
  • a middle section of the floor of the channel is separated from the channel and arranged such that it may pivot, especially when an animal steps on the section of floor, it may pivot downwardly.
  • the floor section has an arm which when being pivoted engages a micro switch and thereby creates a current.
  • Above the separate section of the floor another pivotable member is arranged, which when the floor section pivots, is released and pivots downwardly in the channel, thereby coming into contact with the animal.
  • the pivotable member is also electrically connected, such that as the member comes into contact with the animal on the separate section of the floor, a current will flow and electrocute the animal.
  • a serious drawback with this device is the fact that in order to connect the circuitry and allow the current to electrocute the animal, the two electrodes have to create electrical contact with the animal.
  • Tests clearly indicate that the fur of for example rats, stoats, martens, weasels and the like is highly electrically insulating when dry, such that the risk of mal-function is very high.
  • rats when they are exposed to electrical shocks, they will jump - typically forward.
  • extensive tests carried out by the inventor of the present invention indicate that especially rats are very intelligent creatures which will communicate any dangers to other animals in the vicinity. For these purposes it is essential that a very fast and efficient execution of the rodent is effected before the rodent has a chance to communicate the presence of danger to other animals in the vicinity.
  • the present invention addresses this by providing a pest electrocution device, especially for electrocution of rodents such as rats, mice and the like, where said device, in a housing comprises at least two electrodes where a first electrode is connected to a first electrical terminal and the other electrode are connected to an oppositely charged electrical terminal, where said electrodes are arranged in a position where the pest will pass, characterized in that the device comprises a tunnel which tunnel stretches through said housing , where the electrodes are arranged electrically insulated from each other and the tunnel, and where said electrodes are not in contact with the floor of the tunnel, where a trigger device is provided in said tunnel, and where said trigger device triggers the electrocution of the pest by activating pivoting means connected to the electrodes, pivoting said electrodes into a first position elevated above said floor, and substantially simultaneously electrifying said electrodes.
  • any moisture or other pollutants which may enter the pest electrocution device will not give rise to leak cur- rents, which provides advantages in the shape of not using power when there is no pest present, not confusing any control sensors, or electronic circuitry and not scaring off the rodents in that the rodents are very sensitive to currents.
  • the electrodes are separated from the floor by just one or two millimeters, which will be enough to isolate the electrodes completely from the floor of the tunnel, and at the same time the rodents will recognize the tunnel floor as a safe passage and therefore enter the pest electrocution device without hesitation.
  • the separation may be achieved by suspending the electrodes above the floor, or by providing recesses in the floor, and fitting the electrodes into said recesses, but not in contact with the floor.
  • the electrode's upper surface is arranged coplanar with the floor surface.
  • the electrocution cycle or other means to exterminate the pests may be inadvertently activated by the pest before it is in the proper position.
  • rats which are relatively intelligent rodents this may give the rat the possibility to alarm other rats in the vicinity whereby the trap will be rendered more or less useless for a period until the warning from the rat has been forgotten by the other rats, which typically will take 5-8 days. Therefore, by providing a mechanical depression of the electrodes it is ensured that a pest is positively present inside the device in the correct position before the electrocution cycle is initiated. The chance of a successful result is hereby increased dramatically.
  • the tunnel substantially close to a sidewall of the housing it is possible to arrange the entrance close to a wall where the rodent will naturally follow during its travel.
  • the tunnel may be substantially straight, and therefore allow the rodent to see through the tun- nel to the other side of the trap, whereby it will not hesitate entering the trap.
  • the trigger device is suspended in the pest's path, and where said trigger device incorporates a magnet, such that as the pest engages the member the change in magnetic field will be detected by a Hall ele- ment which in turn activates an electronic circuit, or alternatively where the trigger device is one or more heat sensors, arranged in said tunnel, which sensors upon detecting a sudden change in temperature activates an electronic circuit, where said electronic circuit thereafter energizes the electrodes and controls the electrocution of the pest.
  • the trigger device may advantageously be made from a transparent polymer material. Tests have clearly indicated that rats' behavior above ground as opposed to underground (in sewers) is such that they are much more likely to enter places where they can see light at the other side. Therefore by providing a through-going tunnel, and a transparent trigger device, the rat will not hesitate to enter the electrocution device.
  • the alternative of providing a heat sensor also provides for a trigger device which does not block the view through the tunnel of the electrocution device.
  • a trigger device which does not block the view through the tunnel of the electrocution device.
  • the heat sensor By providing the heat sensor with an additional thermo sensor such that the reference temperature inside the tunnel may be measured and compared to a temperature in front of the heat sensor when a rat is present, the difference in temperature and change in temperature when a rat is present, will indicate that a body is present inside the trap such that the electrocution process may commence.
  • One drawback of this use of heat sensors is for electrocution devices arranged in especially hot climates where the ambient temperature is rela- tively high, even in the shadow of the tunnel, such that only a very limited temperature difference is available between the ambient and for example a rat present in the sensor's sensing area. In such instances the mechanical device described above in the shape of a trigger member being suspended in the tunnel will always regardless of the ambient temperature give a positive indication when a body is present inside the
  • the pest By activating the pivoting means as mentioned above the pest is elevated from the floor before the electrocution commences such that any chance of discharging the electrical current of the device per se due to foreign debris present on the floor short circuiting the electrodes is avoided.
  • the pest which is to be electrocuted is carried by the electrodes a very positive contact is achieved between the separate electrodes and the pest such that a reliable and fast electrocution may be carried out.
  • the electrocution device has a further step with the pivoting means such that after the pest has been electrocuted with the electrodes in the first position, the pivoting means pivots the electrodes further into a second position, in which position the electrocuted pest will slide off the elec- trades.
  • the electrocution device may be used repeatedly without being inspected and emptied it is important to remove the electrocuted pests from the electrocution tunnel and the electrodes in order to make these ready for the following pest to be electrocuted.
  • the electrodes By further pivoting the electrodes into the second position the pest will due to the influence of gravity slide off the electrodes which are hereafter ready for reuse and may be pivoted back into the original position.
  • the electrodes are mounted on a movable wall part of said tunnel, and the pivoting means comprises an actuator, connected to a frame, which frame in one end is pivotably connected to a bottom of said electrocution device, and in the opposite end is connected to the moveable wall part.
  • the frame comprises a second frame arranged parallel to a stationary wall of the tunnel, in the position where the electrodes are adjacent the floor, and where the second frame is adapted to be used for mounting a flexible bag for receiving the electrocuted pest.
  • the tunnel will typically comprise a floor, two sidewalls and a ceiling such that as a pest enters the electrocution device, only the tunnel is visible to the pest.
  • the second wall may advantageously be stationary, and by further arranging a second frame, for example by welding or bolting it onto the first frame such that the plane of the second frame is perpendicular to the plane of the first frame, it is possible to arrange a flexible bag, for example a plastic bag around the second frame.
  • the second frame By furthermore arranging the second frame as close to the stationary wall as possible and thereby as close to the electrodes as possible it is achieved that as the frame is elevated into the second position where the pest slides off the electrodes, the plastic bag mounted on the second frame will receive the pest which thereafter will be contained inside the plastic bag.
  • the second frame when the second frame is in a position parallel to the stationary wall, the second frame will engage the stationary wall, thereby creating a substantially air tight connection, optionally by means of a gasket mounted on the stationary wall, facing the second frame.
  • the second wall will also serve as a lid for the plastic bag containing the dead pest and by further providing a gasket, for example in the shape of bubble plastic or other very resilient material on the side of the stationary wall facing the second frame member, it is possible to create a substantially odour-tight seal between the plastic bag mounted on the second frame and the stationary wall.

  • the diameter of the entrance openings 3, 4 will be approximately 60 mm. It is possible for a small child to insert an arm into the tunnel thereby running the risk of inadvertently activating the trigger member 6 initiating the electrocution process which may be very harmful to a small child. It may therefore be desirable to install for example pho- toelectric detectors detecting when something enters the tunnel by the entrances 3, 4. By detecting something entering the entrance and moving away from the photoelectric sensor before activating the triggering member 6 it is fairly safe to assume that it is an animal with a defined length which has passed the photoelectric sensor before activating the trigger member. An arm of a child would maintain activation of the photoelec- trie sensor when activating the triggering member and as such the system would know that either it was an extremely long animal or something else was amiss thereby not activating the electrocution cycle.
