ABSTRACT:
A reusable trap capable of trapping rodents alive is self-locking. The trap comprises an elongated tube with a first terminus entry opening and a second terminus having a moveable closure door. A trapping door and latch means are mounted within the elongated tube in a manner which allows the trapping door to swing inwardly towards the second terminus by a pushing force supplied by the rodent. The latching means ensures that the trapping door cannot fully swing outwardly towards the first terminus nor can the door be pulled inwardly. A support member secured to the elongated tube at or near the second terminus elevates the second terminus and provides a slightly upwardly slope towards the second terminus when the trap is placed on a horizontal surface. The upward slope enhances the initial appeal of the bait and the trap to the rodent. The rodent trap is economical because of its reusability feature, easy to safely bait and set, and allows the individual homeowner or maintenance worker the option of killing the rodent or releasing it alive at a remote location.
