ABSTRACT:
An animal trap comprising an elongated, U-shaped cage with a cover and vertically slideable doors at each end is disclosed. The trap further includes a triggering mechanism that results in the activation of at least one trap door when an animal removes bait from a bait tray. The triggering mechanism includes a vertical bait pin positioned above a hole in the bait tray, a flexible linking means connecting the bait pin to a latch pin that holds the trap door in an open position. When the bait is removed from between the bait tray and the lower end of the bait pin, the bait pin falls and accelerates through the hole in the bait tray creating tension in the flexible member which actuates the latch pin allowing the trap door to fall and lock in a closed position.
