Abstract: A snare type animal trap actuatable by a solenoid trigger mechanism having a plurality of sensor elements interconnected with a plurality of snares. The trigger mechanism includes a spring biased T-bar structure over which a snare loop is disposed and triggered by an electrical sensor or switch. The T-bar structure is actuated by the movement of a solenoid which is responsive to said switch disposed in the vicinity of the snare loop. Conventional bait such as animal scent is utilized for urging the animal into the snare loop, or noose, for actuation of the trigger. A backup or secondary trigger mechanism is also incorporated wherein the bait is tied to a mechanical trigger associated with the T-bar structure. In this manner, a plurality of bait and noose elements may be disposed relative to a single trigger structure and operated by a single spring element.
