Abstract: A tamper-resistant pest trap that has an outer housing that simulates a rock typically found in a garden or landscape area around a residence or building. The outer housing includes a substantially flat bottom member and a pivotally attached upper dome-shaped lid member. When the lid member is closed over the bottom member, a large cavity is formed inside the trap. Formed on the bottom member are two, inward extending tunnel cavities that form two partially concealed tunnels that extend under the trap when the trap is placed on the ground. Formed on the perimeter edge of the outer housing is an outer pest opening. From on the bottom member directly over the tunnel cavity is an inner pest opening that allows a rodent to enter the large cavity after traveling through the tunnel. Formed inside the outer housing is a holding tray designed to hold a rodenocide or a mechanical trap capable of killing the rodent. An optional bait paper tray is also formed in the bottom member to hold bait paper.

Abstract: A tamper-resistant pest trap that has an outer housing that simulates a rock typically found in a garden or landscape area around a residence or building. The outer housing is a hollow structure with a removable holding tray located therein. Formed on the sides of the outer housing are two, first and second side tunnels that bend and curve inward from the sides of the outer housing towards the center of the outer housing. Formed on the end of each side tunnel is at least one pest opening which enables a pest to enter the outer housing's cavity. In one embodiment, a large opening is formed on the bottom surface of the outer housing into which a holding tray may be securely placed. In another embodiment, the outer housing includes a lid member pivotally attached to a bottom member with the holding tray attached to a bottom member with the holding tray attached to the bottom member. Disposed inside the holding trap is a suitable poison or a trap.
