<p>Pest trap comprising a tunnel shaped housing having two end walls each provided with a pest entry aperture 34. First and second shields (10, 11, fig 5) are pivotally suspended within said housing such that they may rotate about respective first axis perpendicular to the tunnel. Means are provided connected to the shields such that said shields may pivot freely in one direction, whereas movement in the opposing direction causes actuation means to release a biased bracket 20, 21. The bracket is a U-shaped bar pivotally connected to the bottom plate of the housing which moves under spring force from a set position substantially orthogonal to the bottom plate into a trapping position substantially parallel to said bottom plate. Preferably there are two brackets and means 8 are provided external from the housing to move the brackets to the set position.</p> |
