ABSTRACT:
A trap containing a bait to attract rodents, insects and like pests comprising a box-shaped enclosure having a plurality of elbow configured passageways. A first open circuit powered by a voltage source is positioned within the enclosure so as to form a labyrinth of closely spaced electrical conductors which are disposed in partially surrounding relationship to the bait. The pest will detect the presence of the bait with the aid of a plurality of vents integrally formed within the walls of the enclosure. In pursuit of the bait, the pest upon entering the enclosure by means of the passageway, proceeds to trigger a tripper hingedly attached to the passageway which in turn activates a second open circuit mounted within the passageway, and thereby electrifies the retreating pest. If the pest does not retreat but proceeds toward the bait, it is electrocuted by the first open circuit.
