Abstract: A rodent trap includes a housing defined by a rectilinear framework, including a floor, spaced side walls, and a rear wall, with a top wall defined by a pivotally mounted door permitting access to contents of the container. A "U" shaped handle member is mounted to an upper terminal end of frontal frame legs, wherein a medial "U" shaped frame member pivotally mounts a trap door therebetween. The trap door is pivotally mounted medially of its length, whereupon a rodent tempted forwardly by bait along the trap door effects pivotment of the trap door and its closure of the front wall of the trap structure.
