ABSTRACT:
A mousetrap having a housing with an entrance compartment, a one-way tunnel connected to the upper part of the entrance compartment and a storage compartment. The entrance compartment has a resettable balance or ramp that tips over when the animal walks over it towards a bait that is positioned at a suitable location beyond the tipping point. Once tipped, the balance portion leading to the entrance is elevated beyond the entrance opening leaving only one available path for the animal, the one-way tunnel. A latch member holds the balance in that position until it is released by the animal after it goes through a second one-way door inside the tunnel. From the tunnel, the animal can only go to the storage compartment.
