Abstract: A disposable mousetrap consists of a clear plastic tube having a fulcrum centrally located on the tube. Bait is placed at the bait end of the tube. The opposite end of the tube has a mouse entrance. When the mouse enters the mouse entrance he causes the tube to teeter downward at the bait end. A ping pong ball then rolls to close the mouse entrance. A hinged wedge locks the ping pong ball in place. A fulcrum rod is then snapped off. The rod is inserted into the hinged wedge and tube, thereby permanently trapping the mouse. The trap is then disposed as hazardous waste.

Abstract: A "Y" shaped mousetrap lures a mouse into an open end of the "Y" by means of smelly bait located at a closed end of the bottom of the "Y". The "Y" is pivotally supported horizontally by a stand. As the mouse walks past the pivot point, a ping pong ball rolls from the opposite short "Y" tube member and down to the entrance of the open ended tube member. The mouse is trapped alive and can be drowned by immersing the mousetrap.
