ABSTRACT:
An animal trap is disclosed. The trap comprises a tubular housing which can be too small to accommodate movement of an adult hand inside. A trap door is mounted at one end of the housing for movement between a first position, set or open position and a second, closed position. The other end of the housing is closed. The trap further comprises a door latch, a bait stick and a bait stick holder. The trap is set by positioning the door latch so that it keeps the door in the first position until the bait stick is disturbed, whereupon the door latch is released and the door moves to the second, closed position. The bait stick is supported in a bait stick holder which, in turn, is positioned in an aperture in the housing and engages a portion of the housing wall. The trap is constructed so that the bait stick and the bait stick holder can be removed from the housing for baiting the bait stick outside the housing.
