ABSTRACT:
A rodent trap operates by electrocuting the animal as it moves to steal the bait from a space above a depressible platform. The platform includes a downwardly swingable plate that is covered by a woven fabric panel. Edge areas of the fabric panel hang downwardly into a water bath located below the platform; water is drawn upwardly by wick action so that the platform fabric surface is wet. As the animal moves along the platform its feet and body become wet due to contact with the wet platform surface. The weight of the animal depresses the platform, which activates a hidden switch, thereby completing an electric circuit which electrocutes the animal while it is on the platform. The wetting of the platform surface facilitates the electrocution process.
