| 1. An electrically powered animal trap, comprising:
a set of electrodes for electrocution of an animal, and
a device for communicating a surveillance signal between the trap and an external surveillance unit,
wherein the trap defines a chamber between an entrance and an end section thereof, the end section supports arrangement of
a bait in the form of a scent source, the set of electrodes including a number of electrodes being at least three and the
electrodes being arranged sequentially in the chamber, a first electrode of the at least three electrodes being connected
to a second electrode of the at least three electrodes while a third electrode of the at least three electrodes being electrically
isolated from the first and second electrodes, the electrocution occurs when a high-voltage potential difference between the
first and third electrodes is generated, and a surface of the electrodes being rough.
