ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An animal trap, especially for lethally catching small rodents such as mice, comprises a base to which is pivotally mounted a striker wire, spring urged from a set position to a striking position. A trigger member is located adjacent one end of the base, and holds the striker wire to maintain it in the latched position. An elongated platform is pivotally mounted on the base and is connected at one end to the trigger member. Immediately above the platform is provided a bait receptacle, with an open side presented away from the trigger end of the base, and a pivoted cover or hood, elongated and open-ended. The bait is thus accessible only to an animal approaching from the striking end of the base. The application of the animal's weight to the end of the platform causes release of the striker wire. The sensitivity of the trap is adjustable by variation of the position of engagement of the striker wire on the trigger member, caused by changing the position of the bait receptacle. The position of the bait receptacle is also adjustable to allow for different animal sizes.
