ABSTRACT:
An animal trap in the form of a closed container having side walls, a bottom wall, and a top wall wherein the side wall has a door opening and a mating inwardly opening door hingedly mounted to the side wall with a bias spring urging the door to a normally closed position providing a closed trap. The door has inwardly flaring bevel edges to provide for a tight closure and prevention of the animal inhabiting the trap from opening the door. The top wall has at least a generally transparent portion to ascertain whether or not the trap is inhabited. The trap has an inner partition forming a pathway greater than the overall length of the animal to be trapped from the door opening to a bait position to induce the animal to fully enter the trap, allowing tight closure of the door. The trap of this invention provides an inexpensive, completely disposable, sanitary animal trap which may be adapted for a wide variety of sizes of animals.
