ABSTRACT:
A small animal trap formed as a walled enclosure having an opening for rodent entry, a plunger in the enclosure parallel to the bottom, and a spring for urging the plunger toward the bottom. A bottom trigger pedal is inside the enclosure, a pivotally mounted cocking lever extends from the inside upper part of the enclosure outside thereof to terminate outside at or near the bottom of the enclosure. The tripper pedal is pivotally connected to the enclosure by a short lever that extends outward of the trap and is releasibly engagable with the cocking lever. When the plunger is raised the cocking lever engages the under side of the plunger and also the short lever on the trigger pedal. Upsetting the pedal releases the cocking lever and the plunger. The cocking lever has a long arm and a short arm, the long arm being used to latch the trigger. The short arm which is activated by a rodent is located in the lower part of the enclosure. The lower end of the lever and the trigger are formed to latch and hold the plunger in a cocked position until upset. The latch is located outside the enclosure.
