The trap includes a door (18,20) at which a contact sensor (36) is located. The sensor may be positioned at the inner wall or at bait in the trap housing (12). The sensor releases a visual or acoustic alarm signal via a control unit (40) when a rodent is captured. Preferably, the control unit releases the alarm signal after a predetermined time delay. The control unit is formed separately from the housing and is supplied with power via a battery (42), a solar panel or a network adapter. |
