ABSTRACT:
A low-cost, environmentally safe rodent trap is disclosed composed generally of a pair of coaxial telescoping cylinders including an internally actuated trigger mechanism which supports one of the cylinders at an elevated height within the other cylinder. Upon reaching the bottom of the elevated cylinder, the weight of the rodent actuates the trigger mechanism, causing the elevated cylinder to fall whereby a cap attached to the upper end of the elevated cylinder sealingly engages the other cylinder to suffocate the rodent. The cylinders are housed within a box-like platform which provides easy ingress of the rodent to the trap, ensures stability during operation, prevents viewing of the rodent carcass, and provides for marketing of the trap without additional packaging material.
