The invention refers to an animal trap, in particular a rat or mouse trap, comprising a catching device (M2) with a one-way segment and at least one killing device (M3, M6), in which a caught animal (T) can be killed, and that has an outlet area positioned downstream of a killing device through which the animal can be released from the animal trap.

An example mouse and rodent trap includes a base for arrangement over a catch basin. A shaft is supported by the base. A bait drum is mounted on the shaft. A brace rotatably supports the shaft. The brace extends from the base on each side of an opening formed in the base. The shaft is provided between each brace.

A rodent capturing system includes a bucket that may be positioned on a support surface. A fluid is contained in the bucket and the fluid is comprised of a toxic material with respect to rodents. A pair of ramps is provided and each of the ramps extends between the bucket and the support surface thereby facilitating a rodent to climb the ramps. A lure is rotatably coupled to the bucket. The rodent climbs on the lure thereby facilitating the lure to drop the rodent into the fluid. In this way the fluid kills the rodent.

An example mouse and rodent trap includes a base with an opening formed therein. A plank is formed in the base and extending at least partially across the opening formed in the base. A shaft is supported below the plank. A catch basin is provided below the base. The plank bends under weight of a mouse or rodent on the plank reaching down toward bait on the shaft causing the mouse or rodent to fall from the plank into a catch basin below the plank.

An animal trap features entrance encouraging mechanism for urging an animal into an enclosure of the trap. The mechanism features a pushing unit pivotally supported outside the interior space of the enclosure adjacent an access-way that opens into same. The pushing unit is pivotal about an axis generally parallel to a plane of the access-way for movement between a withdrawn position in which the access-way is unobstructed and a working position in which the pushing unit substantially obstructs the access-way. An actuator coupled to the pushing unit is triggered by an animal detection device at an approach area outside the enclosure within a travel path followed by the pushing unit, whereby the pushing unit urges the animal toward and through the access-way into the interior space of the enclosure. A one way gate prevents exit of the trapped animal after return of the pushing unit to the withdrawn position.
