ABSTRACT:
A trap for rodents, moles, or other burrowing animals, comprising: a handle; two pairs of opposed legs rotatably mounted on the handle; a spring biasing each pair of opposed legs in a sprung position wherein the two legs of each pair of opposed legs are adjacent one another; means for rotating the two pairs of opposed legs about the handle to a set position wherein the two legs of each pair of opposed legs are separated from one another, thereby forming a passage for the animal; a latch for holding the two pairs of opposed legs in the open position; and a trigger for releasing the latch, whereby the two pairs of opposed legs will snap rapidly to the sprung position, thereby trapping and killing the animal.
