Abstract: A trap having a base panel, two side panels, and two end panels held together in an “A”-frame shape by tubular hinges of fixed and quick release type. Each panel is constructed from a wire mesh having a perimeter frame that includes linear members. A plurality of fixed hinges are used to rotationally link the several panels to one another. Each fixed hinge is preferably a cylindrical element of resilient material having a longitudinal or axially aligned slot that may be expanded to receive a pair of linear members. At least one quick-release type hinge is preferably used to facilitate rapid collapse and erection of the trap. Each quick-release type hinge has two axially nested cylinders, each defining a slot having sufficient width to accommodate a linear member without user manipulation. Alignment of the two slots permits ingress and egress of a pair of linear members into and out of the open cylinder defined by the inner cylinder.
