A power operated rodent exterminating apparatus includes a pneumatic actuator for moving a pivotally mounted striking bar from a retracted position to a striking position and automatically returning to a retracted position. A detector plate is mounted on the apparatus frame in the path of the movement of the striking bar to a striking position in contact with a portion of the frame. Ejector mechanism including pivotally mounted opposed gate members are operable upon retraction of the striking bar to sweep the detector plate to clear a rodent therefrom. A control circuit is operable to sequentially effect actuation of the striking bar and the ejector mechanism and to repeatedly cycle the ejector mechanism until the detector mechanism is reset.
