A trap for capturing small animals, such as raccoons, includes a housing with front and rear doors, and a three-way trigger which is actuated by an animal trying to reach bait located in the housing and behind the trigger. The trigger can be moved longitudinally forward to a set position which holds the door open to release the door to a closed position. The trigger can be actuated or tripped in either left or right lateral directions, or in a rearward longitudinal direction to release the door to a closed position. The trigger is spring biased toward the set position. The front door slides vertically within guide tracks extending along opposite lateral edges of the front door, or alternatively, is hinged for pivotal movement. The back door can be opened for positioning bait inside the housing.

The species specific fish trap selectively captures a specific species of fish. The species specific fish trap lures a fish into the species specific fish trap. The species specific fish trap identifies that the captured fish is the specific species the species specific fish trap is configured to capture. The species specific fish trap closes when the lured fish is identified as the specific species that the species specific fish trap is configured to capture. The species specific fish trap comprises a transparent shell, a lure net, and a control system. The lure net and the control system mount in the transparent shell. The transparent shell is the structure that lures and captures the specific species of fish. The lure net lures a fish into the transparent shell. The control system identifies the species of the lured fish. The control system controls access into the transparent shell.

A glue trap for trapping vermin has a base flap and a cover flap formed by folding a cardboard sheet to create a folding hinge. At least one slot is formed in the cover flap at or near the fold line. A target surface of non-drying adhesive is installed on or over the upper surface of the base flap. Optionally, a target surface of non-drying adhesive is installed on or over the upper surface of the cover flap. In one embodiment, a tilt trigger having a bent angle shape has its first arm appended to the target and its second arm inserted into the slot opening of the cover flap, and in contact with the rear surface of the cover flap. The trap is installed with the base flap over a horizontal support surface and the cover flap disposed at an angle thereto and preferably in contact with a vertical surface, such as a wall. Vermin will stick to the adhesive and try to escape, causing a tilting motion of the tilt trigger and urging the cover flap to fold over the base flap and over the vermin caught on the target surface. In another embodiment, a riser is formed at the fold line creating the hinge of the trap. Movement of vermin caught by the adhesive moves the riser near the fold line downward, which causes the cover flap to fold over the base flap at the fold line.

There is herein described an insect and animal trapping device. More particularly, there is described an insect and/or animal trapping device such as a rat-trapping device wherein there is a receptacle which is capable of trapping the insect and/or animal and thereafter having the air inside the receptacle at least partially removed thereby killing the insect and/or animal.

Conventional mouse traps include a spring biased arm temporarily held open by a hold down bar, which is dislodged when a mouse releases a catch. Accordingly, a more robust vermin trap comprises: a housing; a catcher pivotally mounted on the housing, configured to be held in a set position and forced into a sprung position for trapping the vermin, and a latch. The latch comprising: an actuator, and a latching lever spring biased into the sprung position, and configured to be rotated closed in the set position. A striker mechanism is connected to the catcher for engaging the latching lever in the set position and disengaged from the latching lever in the sprung position, for moving the catcher from the set position to the sprung position. A trigger activates the actuator, thereby releasing the latching lever, and disengaging the striker mechanism from the latch, enabling the catcher to move to the sprung position to trap the vermin.

An animal trap stabilizing system includes a body trap having a pair of jaws, a trigger engaging the jaws, and a torsion spring being attached to the jaws. The torsion spring is engaged with a plate. The plate has a top side, a bottom side, a first edge, a second edge, a third edge, and a fourth edge. The torsion spring includes a plurality of loops. The loops are attached to the plate such that arms of the torsion spring extend away from the fourth edge. The third edge is positioned on a ground surface such that an animal receiving orifice of the body trap is vertically orientated.

The present disclosure provides a bidirectional linkage type mousetrap including: a base, an upper shell, a first pedal, a second pedal, clamping shafts, and torsion springs. A bait placing cup and clamping frames are arranged on the base. Each clamping frame includes side plates and a clamping rack. Each of the first pedal and the second pedal includes a touch portion, a clamping shaft accommodating groove, and a clamping shaft buckle. Mousetrap inlets are arranged on two ends of the upper shell respectively. The mousetrap has two inlets and two-way linkage, which increase the probability of catching a mouse.
