The invention pertains to a trap for rodents, particularly for mice and rats, with a trigger device in the form of a plate ( 10 ) that is supported in a rocker-like fashion and provided with a constantly accessible receptacle for accommodating bait, with a striking device that is supported on the base plate ( 1 ) such that it can be pivoted about a first axis ( 7 ), wherein the striking device can be subjected to the force of a tension spring ( 18 ) and released from a first, armed position when an animal acts upon the plate such that it is pivoted about a second axis ( 9 ) supported on the base plate ( 1 ) from an idle position into a triggering position, in which a release element in the form of an eccentrically supported, elastic driving element that is separably engaged with the striking device ( 8 ) in the first, armed position can be pivoted by the rocker-like plate ( 10 ), wherein the striking device ( 8 ) that can be pivoted about the first axis ( 7 ) is released from its first, armed position and the force of the tension spring ( 18 ) causes the striking device to instantly swing with a high striking force into a second position, in which it humanely kills the animal. Due to its rotative moment, the eccentrically supported elastic driving element ( 17 ) is always rotationally prestressed in the direction of its home position, in which a collar ( 35 ) of the driving element ( 17 ) is engaged with an abutment ( 27 ) of the plate ( 10 ), wherein the striking device ( 8 ) is separably locked in its first, armed position on the driving element ( 17 ). The collar ( 35 ) of the driving element ( 17 ) that is tensioned during the movement of the latter into the release position such that the driving element ( 17 ) is turned back in the direction of its home position due to the spring-back of the spring arm ( 36 ).
