An animal trap includes a base member, a spring-loaded pivotally mounted striker bail, a striker hold-down member, and a removable trigger member. The removable trigger member is pivotally mounted on the base member and includes a generally flat portion with upwardly directed flanges along defining peripheral edges. The upwardly directed flanges on the trigger member form a trough which may be filled with a non-drying, adhesive thereby forming an adhesive layer. The trigger member includes a catch portion which engages an end of the striker hold-down member. When a rodent touches the trigger member in an attempt to reach the bait, the rodent becomes ensnared by the adhesive layer. The motion of the rodent in an attempt to free itself moves the trigger member and causes the catch member to release the striker hold-down member thereby releasing the spring loaded striker bail which pivots to strike and kill the rodent.
