A wireless baited snap trap is engineered to fit standard bait boxes with onboard LoRa comms, PCB plus dual antennas, epoxy-potted electronics for IP rating, and a three-state sensor that distinguishes armed / tripped empty / caught. Field trials produce workable range even on metal floors; 10,000 units are manufactured with ~10 minutes manual assembly, €40 unit price and ~1.5 year ROI, battery life ~2–3 years, patent pending and plans to robotize assembly.
