STRIKE TRAP, ESPECIALLY FOR RODENTS

摘要

A trap for the extermination of mice etc. with a spring-loaded striker which can be released from a raised, loaded position by an activating element connected to a swivelling release lever. To improve the enticement effect and the probability of extermination the striker is mounted on a support which surrounds the location of the bait. There is an opening on one side and the release lever has an element which protrudes into the opening. The bait is located directly on the surface beneath the trap. Furthermore, the support has an edge portion with an opening into the bait location, so that the striker's active element swings downwards towards and beyond this edge portion upon release.
