Not quite there, but this thing is successful. It’s a self resetting trap, with its kill attracting more target species. Refilling if after ~25 kills is more expensive that resetting a manual trap, but the labour cost is ~25x cheaper. https://goodnature.co.nz

Off topic, but you really think there arnt automatic turrets, seems very feasible today, especially in a situation like a sewer where you really dont have to worry about shooting the wrong (moving) thing.

We had automatic turrets decades ago, so the "AI" part was just me trying to be funny.
