Claim Text:
1. A rat trap comprising: a power supply; a killing means for killing a rat; a first sensor adapted to detect a presence of a rat in a space within a reach of the killing means; a control means capable of receiving a signal from the first sensor, and being adapted for activating the killing means to kill the rat when the presence of the rat is detected by the first sensor; an automatic mechanism adapted for releasing a dead rat from the rat trap; a second sensor for detecting light; and a storage module adapted for storing a battery state of the rat trap, wherein the control means is configured for receiving a signal from the second sensor and adapted for deactivating the killing means or the first sensor at least for a period of time after a detection of a presence of light by the second sensor, and wherein the second sensor is adapted for sensing visible light, wherein the storage module is not deactivated when the control means deactivates the killing means or the first sensor after the detection of the presence of light by the second sensor, and wherein the first sensor is adapted for sensing infrared light emitted by the rat, and the second sensor is adapted for sensing ambient light.
