ABSTRACT:
An animal trap suited for trapping rodents or the like is shown. The trap comprises a hollow housing with a closure for sealing a trapped animal therein. The normally open closure member operates to seal off the exit of the trapped animal when actuated. The closure is actuated from an open housing position to a sealed off housing position by pivoting the housing from an open end downward position about a fulcrum to an open end upward position. The pivoting of the housing is caused by travel of a small animal therein moving from the open end of the housing toward the closed opposite end to retrieve bait placed at the end opposite the open end.
