ABSTRACT:
A single use disposable animal trap particularly suited for entrapment of rodents and the like, the invention comprises a housing of dimensions only slightly greater than the site of the animal which is to be trapped, the housing having an entrance opening and a pivoting inclined plane mounted internally of the housing. An animal entering the trap biases a rear portion of the inclined plane downwardly, a forward portion of the inclined plane thereby camming a door member into place over the entrance opening. In a preferred embodiment, a shoulder-like detent formed on the inner wall of the door member abuts a forward edge portion of the inclined plane, thereby to maintain the door member in place over the entrance opening and to prevent escape of the animal from the trap.
