23. A wireless animal trap detection kit capable of being assembled in the field to be electrically coupled to a spring-loaded rodent/animal trap, the kit comprising the combination of:
-
a wireless transmitter configured to be electrically coupled to a spring-loaded rodent/animal trap to form a closed circuit such that activation of the spring-loaded rodent/animal trap opens the circuit and to transmit at least one signal upon activation of the spring-loaded rodent/animal trap;
a connector adapted to electrically couple the wireless transmitter to the spring-loaded rodent/animal trap; and
a receiver locatable at a remote distance from the wireless transmitter and configured to receive the at least one signal from the wireless transmitter and to alert a user of activation of the spring-loaded rodent/animal trap. - View Dependent Claims (24)
