ABSTRACT:
A trap and method for trapping a mouse or other rodent. The present invention is directed to an animal trap, particularly to a mouse trap or the like in combination with an enclosure in the form of a plastic bag inside a cover. The enclosure is contoured so as to fit within the cover and has an open rear end to admit an entry therein of the rodent. When the rodent enters the enclosure and touches a pad end of the trigger member, the spring-loaded striker is released from a catch position and kills the rodent within the enclosure by entering the lower portion of the cover through two vertical slots without penetrating the enclosure. The enclosure is then pulled from the cover by the user and disposed of. The bag can be of the colored plastic type, so the user will not even see the mouse inside of it.
