ABSTRACT:
A rodent trap includes a housing having bottom and top walls and defining an interior space. A ramp extends between top and bottom walls and defines an entry opening through which a rodent may enter the housing. A bait container mounted inside the housing lures a rodent to enter. A platform extends from the entry opening into the interior space and includes a selectively positionable metallic element. A trip board is pivotally mounted within the housing and is movable between set and tripped configurations. A magnet is selectively positioned on the trip board so as to bias the trip board toward the set configuration until a rodent's weight on another portion thereof causes it to rotate to the second configuration. A container is positioned in the housing for receiving a rodent that is deposited at the second configuration. A plurality of probes prevent a rodent from reversing course.
