ABSTRACT:
An animal trap for small animals, such as mice, rats, squirrels, and the like, the trap includes an enclosure over which is arranged a bait compartment with two oppositely-facing tilting bottom panels, each panel being mounted on a pivot in the bait compartment with a base edge having a counterweight, a magnetic means, and a spring mechanism on one side of the pivot positioned proximate to the pivot and with a facing distal edge on an opposite side of the pivot and spaced from the pivot. Two ramps arranged on opposite sides of the bait compartment lead from a ground surface to the base edges of the tilting bottom panels to provide an apparent continuous passage through the animal trap. The counterweights balance the panels, the magnetic means is adapted to retain the panels in a horizontal position with a predetermined force, and the spring mechanism is constructed to return the panels to the horizontal position after tilting.
