Problems solved by technology

[0007] In addition, humidity conditions that indicate the presence of water below submerged or submerged levels (for example, spraying water on boards) pose problems, namely, that such sprays Can produce brief wetting followed by drying over time, which can occur again in cycles, especially in facilities with regular flushing schedules
These short wetting and drying cycles can lead to inaccurate determinations of the presence of rodents versus the presence of water

Abstract

An electronic rodent trap is provided that includes a microprocessor and a resistive sensor coupled to a high voltage killing circuit and to a wash down sensor. Upon detecting a resistance, the resistive sensor sends a detection signal to the microprocessor. The microprocessor activates the wash down sensor to determine whether the resistance is above a threshold value and / or shows variation characteristics consistent with the presence of a rodent and thus warranting activation of the killing circuit. Resistance that is below the threshold indicates the presence of water such that the killingcircuit is not activated and false triggering of the electronic rodent trap is prevented. Animal traps and monitoring stations incorporating a wash down sensor for pest detection but without killing mechanisms are also provided.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 694,801, filed July 6, 2018, and U.S. Application Serial No. 16 / 456,450, filed June 28, 2019. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to the field of pest control, and more particularly, to a flush sensor or low resistance sensing circuit for preventing false triggering of an electronic rodent trap when exposed to water, and operation of an electronic rodent trap using a flush sensor method. Background technique [0004] An electronic rodent trap, similar to that disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,735,899 (the "'899 patent") and U.S. Patent No. 7,219,466 (the "'466 patent"), including a resistive sensor that Activated in response to applying sufficient resistance across a sensing element embodied as two or more charged plates such that the voltage across the sensing mechanism is pulled down. In response, the trap initiates a kil...
