    Abstract: A magnetic computerized mouse trap comprising a base having an upper surface, opposite sides and opposite ends. A trap bar is pivotally mounted on the upper surface of the base, for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis between a cocked position and a sprung position. A spring is for urging the trap bar towards the sprung position on the upper surface of the base. A pair of magnetic channel brackets are provided, with each mounted on the upper surface adjacent one side of the base, to retain the trap bar in the cocked position. A first electronic circuit is manually activated for magnetizing the magnetic channel brackets. The trap bar can be manually put into and held in the cocked position on the upper surface of the base. A grid is on the upper surface of the base at the sprung position. A food tray is on the grid for holding bait thereon. A second electronic circuit is manually activated for setting the trap after the first electronic circuit is manually activated.
