Patent attributes
A pest control device (10), and a method of suppressing a pest, which can be discretely and easily placed, serviced and removed from the proximity of areas where pests, including rodents and insects, are likely to frequent, including the area near the floor-wall juncture (54) behind shelving (44) and/or products (52) or equipment. The pest control device (10) has a pest suppression device (18) having an ingress for the pest and an elongate arm (20′) with an overhanging structure (56) having a proximate end (24) and a distal end (26), the proximate end (24) of the elongate arm (20′) connected to the pest suppression device (20′) communicating with the ingress and facilitating a pathway for the pest from the distal end (26) of the elongate arm (20′) to the ingress. The pest suppression device (10) may be mounted on a platform (12 or 14) and the elongate arm (20′) mounted instead to the platform (12 or 14).
