An environmentally friendly device for trapping animals comprising a collection container (3) comprising an upper opening (3a), an intermediate supporting frame (4), forming a drop duct (8) and such that it at least partly closes the opening (3a) of said collection container (3), a closing guard (5), which can be superposed on the intermediate supporting frame (4), comprising an inlet (6) and a compartment forming a trapping corridor (7), a trapping mechanism (9) supported by the frame (4) and positioned over the drop duct (8), comprising a rotary surface (10) having a main direction of extension (X) extending along a longitudinal axis (10a) coinciding with the direction of entry into the trapping corridor (7), being designed to close the top of the drop duct (8) and to form the treadable surface of the trapping corridor (7). The trapping mechanism (9) comprises two plates (14a, 14b) connected to each other by the rotary surface (10), which is positioned orthogonally to each of them. Each time it is activated the rotary surface and the two plates (10) complete a 180° rotation about an axis (9a) of symmetry which is transversal to said longitudinal axis (10a) coinciding with the direction of entry into the trapping corridor (7).

A rodent trap assembly includes a cylinder that has an access opening extending therein. A bait tray is coupled to the cylinder to contain rodent bait and the bait tray is positioned inside the cylinder. A dome is positionable on the cylinder and the dome has an entry way extending therethrough to facilitate a rodent to enter the dome to access the rodent bait in the bait tray. A ramp is removably attachable to the entry way to facilitate the rodent to access the entry way. A cup is removably positionable in the cylinder to capture the rodent when the rodent enters through the entry way and falls downwardly in the cylinder. A handle is coupled to the cup to facilitate the rodent to be relocated without requiring the user to touch the rodent.

An animal trap apparatus having a collection of individual components is mounted onto a rim of a bucket and comprises a plank having a bait receiving end and a mounting end, with a fulcrum feature therebetween. The fulcrum feature may have a non-circular cross section. A bracket with a notch is received by the rim of the bucket while a receiving feature having an occluded open end is configured to receive the fulcrum feature. In use, the plank is configured to pivot about the fulcrum feature in a forward direction when an animal approaches the bait receiving end thereby placing the animal trap apparatus in a tripped condition whereby the bait receiving extends downwardly toward the closed bottom of the bucket and the animal falls into the cavity. The individual components may be formed of a food-grade material.

A trap for collecting animals includes a bin and a frame mounted above the bin's open top. A panel is mounted to the frame and pivots with respect to the stationary frame via a connection to a hinge. The frame includes a bait compartment at a first end of the panel that lures an animal to climb the frame and traverse the panel to get to the bait. The panel is held level by a magnet when the panel is unweighted, but when an animal attempts to cross the panel the weight of the animal overcomes the bias of the magnet and the panel tips downward, delivering the animal into the bin.

A mechanical trap includes an ultra light carbon fiber hollow tube roller on a pairs of pillow block bearings and adapters. It can be easily mounted on top of a water container. Bait is placed in the middle section of the roller. When a mouse or a rat climbs on the roller and try to reach and eat bait, the ultra sensitive roller will become unstable, self-triggered and start rolling. The mouse or rat will quickly lose balance and then fall into water container underneath. Water depth in the container will determine whether the mouse or rat will be captured alive or killed from drowning. The trap can have an adapter and adjustable length to universally fit different kinds of water container of different sizes. It can quickly trap or kill multiple different sizes of mice and rats. It is simple, low-cost, easy to operate, durable and environmental friendly.

A mouse trap for use with a bucket having an upper rim, a side wall, and a bottom edge includes a top portion having a ledge for seating adjacent or over the upper rim of the bucket and a spiral ramp coupled to an outer edge of the top portion. The top portion has an opening with a movable roller disposed across the opening and the ledge substantially surrounds the opening of the top portion. The spiral ramp when in use extends down the side wall of the bucket from an area near or at the upper rim of the bucket to the bottom edge of the bucket.
