ABSTRACT:
A rugged, low cost small animal trap is disclosed. The trap comprises (1) unitary setting mechanism, (2) swingably mounted bait holder, (3) trap door, and (4) a cage body. One end of the trap is fixed closed and the trap door is mounted slidably at the other end of the trap for movement between a first position which is set in an open position supported on at least two points on the externally controlled unitary setting mechanism and a second gravity closed position. The removable bait holder is baited by removing the handle and cover and then after the handle and cover are replaced, the trap is then externally set. When an animal moves the bait holder by pushing, the setting mechanism is moved toward the closed fixed end, thereby allowing the trap door to close by means of gravity and trapping the small animal alive.
