MISSION STATEMENT

To supply the global market with a simple solution to trap rodents easily and humanely while preserving bait.

THE SITUATION

Rodents and other pests create environmental problems for landowners, homeowners, and the like. For example, birds and squirrels tend to infest gardens and houses where they cause damage attic roofs, sidewalks, food, and plants. Many different devices exist for trapping and eliminating these rodents. However, these devices either require electricity, gas, overly complex mechanical operation, are harmful to the animal, or any combination thereof. Further, many of these traps use bait that must be continuously replaced once the animal is trapped. This requires a user to spend money feeding the trapped animal. Therefore, there exists a need for a device that operates exclusively via gravity, automatically resets and preserves the bait used to trap the animal.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The self-resetting rodent trap includes an upper chamber having a bait chamber disposed therein. The upper chamber and bait chamber are removably covered by an entrance gate and a bait lid, respectively. A trap gate forms a floor of the upper chamber, wherein a lower chamber for receiving a trapped animal is disposed there beneath. The trap gate, entrance gate, and bait lid are pivotally connected to one another and move between a set configuration and a trap configuration. In the set configuration, the entrance gate and bait lid are open, and the trap gate is closed, and, in the trap configuration, the entrance gate and bait lid are closed, and the trap gate is open. The trap is biased to the set configuration due to a counterweight disposed on an end of the entrance gate. The counterweight is offset when an animal is disposed on the trap gate, thereby moving the self-resetting animal trap to the trap configuration. Once the trap gate releases the animal into the lower chamber, the counterweight automatically returns the trap to the set configuration. Therefore, the trap is continuously reset and configured to trap multiple animals.

OBJECTIVES

The developers of the Self Resetting Squirrel Trap are offering to license the manufacturing and distribution rights to qualified organizations. These organizations should be capable of producing the product and/or accessing the appropriate markets with the product.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION
