ABSTRACT:
An improved animal trap 10 includes a housing 12 with a hinged lid 14 that may be locked in a closed position by way of a latch 18 and a pin 20. When the lid 14 is closed, a non-linear passageway is formed within the trap 10 with two rectangular cross-sectional passageways 22, 24 that are secured at a right angle to each other. External access to the non-linear passageway is made through an opening 26 in a wall of the housing 12. Each of the two passageways 22, 24 maintains a door 36, 38, respectively, that opens only inwardly with respect to the interior of the housing 12. The doors 36, 38 are substantially prevented from being opened from the inside of the housing 12 by way of the non-linear characteristic of the passageway and a corresponding pair of slotted pivot regions 32, 34, respectively. Animals are attracted to the trap 10 with bait that is confined within a protruding cylinder 42 having a mating cap 44. A plurality of holes 46, 48 are formed in the mating cap 44 and in the wall of the housing 12, respectively, so as to allow the aroma of the bait to emanate external to and within the housing 12.
