ABSTRACT:
A device for controlling mice and other rodents includes a tubular housing having an opened rear end, a closed front end and a spring element for selectively closing the rear end. The housing is mounted at an inclined angle relative to a supporting platform which opposes the force of the spring element and maintains the rear end of the housing in its opened position when the housing is mounted on the supporting platform. An attractant induces mice or other rodents into the housing which, as a result of the weight of the rodent, pivots relative to the supporting platform resulting in disengagement of the rear end of the housing and the supporting platform. Upon disengagement, the spring element closes the rear end of the housing entrapping the rodent therein. Breathing openings covered by a removable seal can be provided in the housing to dispose of the trapped rodent in a living state.
