Abstract

A signaling rodent trap system, the system comprising a signal transmitting device, wherein said signal transmitting device includes a motion triggered switch, a rf transmitter electronically connected to said switch for generating a rf signal only when said motion trigger switch is activated, a power source that is utilized to power said rf transmitter only when said motion triggered switch is activated, and, means for attaching said signal transmitting device to a rodent trap; and, a signal receiving device, wherein said signal receiving device includes a rf receiver for receiving said rf signal from said transmitter, a signaling mechanism for indicating a rf signal has been received by said receiver, a processor electronically connected between said signaling mechanism and said rf receiver for activating said signaling mechanism when a rf signal is received by said receiver, and, a power source for powering said signal receiving device.

Claims

(c) a processor electronically connected between said signaling mechanism and said rf receiver for activating said signaling mechanism when a rf signal is received by said receiver, and,

(d) a power source for powering said signal receiving device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein said signal receiving device includes means for resetting said receiving devices when the signaling mechanism is activated.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the signaling mechanism of said signal receiving device is visual.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the signaling mechanism of said signal receiving device is audible.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the signaling mechanism of said signal receiving device is visual and audible.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the signal transmitting device further comprises and on and off switch.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the signal transmitting device further comprises an indicator that the motion triggered switch has been activated.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the means for attaching signal transmitting devise to said rodent trap is a spring loaded clip.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein said signal receiving device can transmit a signaling mechanism to a second signal receiving device so as to generate a signaling mechanism in said second signal receiving device, wherein said second signaling device unable to receive the initial rf signal from said signal transmitting device.

10. A signaling rodent trap system, the system comprising:

a signal transmitting device, wherein said signal transmitting device includes;

(a) a motion triggered switch,

(b) a rf transmitter switch for selecting between two or more rf signals,

(c) two or more rf transmitters electronically connected to said switch for generating a rf signal, wherein said rf signal is transmitted only when said motion trigger switch is activated,
