Zusammenfassung:An electronic mouse trap is provided having multiple kill and automatic killing chamber clearing capabilities. The trap includes an elevated killing chamber rotatably mounted on a base that houses a collection bin positioned under the chamber and which has an entrance pathway that provides mice with access to the chamber. Upon completion of a killing cycle and the killing of a mouse, the chamber is automatically rotated by a gear motor to an inverted position, allowing the dead mouse to fall downwardly into the collection bin. During such rotation, the entrance pathway if blocked to prevent access to the trap by a next mouse. Once the chamber has been inverted and the mouse removed by gravity, the gear motor reverses the rotation direction and returns the chamber to its upright position, opening the entrance pathway such that the trap is ready to reinitiate the killing cycle for another mouse.
